Minutes From the May Board Meeting

The meeting was called to order by Tim Fry at 12:20 pm, Sunday, May 19th.  The secretary informed the board that the notice of amendment of Articles of Incorporation had been filed with the state.  Following a brief discussion, It was agreed that we should be reasonably unrestrained in seeking professional help with issues involving future operation under 501(c)(3), once obtained, especially in regard to proper accounting and tax return preparation.

Phil Cady informed the board that he had arranged public service announcements with local radio stations and that he will send letters to previous registrants to invite their brothers, sisters and friends to the June rally.  Mike Franzago recommended notifying local Girl Scout organizations.  It was agreed that the rally would go from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, but that we would try to get registration started and the first flight launched by shortly after 8:30 am if possible.  Meeting adjourned at 1:20 pm.
