Charter # 4492 March 2008 Newsletter
District IX

Monthly Club Meetings are held the last Thursday of each month at the Coffeyville Aviation Museum

With spring right around the corner a
beautiful Sunday afternoon resulted in a
good turn out at the field.

Editors Comments
      I have been requested to put out a newsletter for this month and will be happy to continue in the following months if needed.  I would like to start by thanking every one that attended our February Club Meeting.  The meeting was one of the friendliest and most productive meetings I have attended in some time.   Our new officers are on the job and seem totally committed to building a bigger and better club.
AMA Requirements met
     Secretary Treasure Ray Griswold has already gotten our Charter and Insurance forms filled out and sent into AMA and will furnish the city with copies keeping us legal for yet another year as well as accounting for the clubs assets to date.
Field Maintenance
     Bob Meritt has accepted responsibility for our field maintenance once again.
     Bob has been instrumental in improving and maintaining our field for many years and we need to show our appreciation by helping him in anyway we can.  If you can

find time to help out on the field contact Bob. He will need help with mowing so give him a call at 251-5094 and get on the list. He will be posting mowing schedules in each months newsletters.  We do have 1 club mower for use by anyone interested in helping.
If you have your own mower and are willing to volunteer the club will reimburse the cost of fuel as decided in the February meeting.
  If you have a mower but no way to transport it both Troy (251-1105) and Bob (251-5094) can loan you a trailer or haul your mower for you.
Buddy day revived
      President David Liming along with other members at the meeting expressed their wishes to recruit new members by reviving our traditional "Buddy Day" started by the founding members of which David and Ray were both a part of back in 2002
     Our annual Buddy Day is celebrated by all the members by simply bringing a friend on our chosen day to freely share our hobby with others who might find it interesting in hopes of recruiting more members into our group.
     We don't make much of a fuss about the event but simply invite our friends to join us. We will have instructors and trainer planes on hand for introductory flights to any of our new buddies that are interested in trying their hand and flying one of our trainers. This is an un-advertised in-club activity not an advertised e

vent.   The key word her is un- advertised. Any form of written or broadcasted
advertisement for this event is
prohibited by AMA rules.

   Bob prepares the Rascal he acquired from David L. Looks like Karen just got her own plane.


Larry invited Stan Davenport to come
out and enjoy a day at the field.
      Some of you old timer's will remember
Stan's G'father "Goldie" Goldie owned
and operated Goldie's Donut Shop here
in Coffeyville back when even Troy and
Bob were still kids. Bob and Troy enjoyed
giving Stan an introductory flight on
Larry's Trainer.
