New Business: 1) Ray Donati suggested for subsequent Big Bird / Picnics that non club members be required to pay to eat at the Picnic. This will help defray the cost of the Picnic as it becomes more expensive (and a loss financially) to the Club each year. After discussion, Marcellino tabled the issue for further discussion at a later date, 2) Brian D. suggested for subsequent Big Bird / Picnics, a sign be made to let people know the field is closed for flying due to the permitted event. Brian D. will look into creating a sign, 3) Marcellino, in light of Ed Bywalec’s donation to the club, brought up again the idea of installing memorial plaques on the impound station in remembrance of past club members. Ed Kamm volunteered to look into fabricating the plaques.
