COMMITTEE REPORTS
Rough River Sport Aviation Weekend - Berry Bannon reported that there have been no recent
meetings of the Rough River Committee. But, the Frankfort Chapter reported to him that the
annual Frankfort fly-in, usually coinciding with Rough River, would not be held this year due to
remodeling work at the Frankfort Airport, and as a result there would be no conflict between the two events.
Web Page - Charlie Gokey reported that there have been no recent updates of the web page,
but some updates have been submitted to the Webmaster. There was some discussion of the
lack of current information and options for a solution, including having someone else trained and
authorized to update the page. Gary Graham indicated that he would talk to Alan Fox about the problem.
Roster – Tom Hubbuch stated that the Roster will be updated and re-issued early this year. An information
sheet will be sent out with the next newsletter, to be filled out by each member and returned.
Newsletter – There was no newsletter this month. An issue is planned for February, and a postcard for March.
Gary Graham asked for input from the members of experiences, technical articles, trips etc. for newsletter articles.
Bowman Eagles – Howard Edwards reported there are now 57 members, and a search will begin for a four-place
Stinson aircraft, which could possibly be obtained before May if several more members are added.
Picnic – Picnic Chairmen Tom Hubbuch and Berry Bannon agreed to coordinate the picnics during 2005.
Membership – Howard Edwards stated that he would like to be part of a membership drive committee,
but not the chairman. He suggested that a goal should be set to acquire some number of new members.
