OFFICERS REPORTS
July 2010
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Carl Diefenbach
The summer flying season is just now beginning to look
like our picture perfect weather of years past.
The cloudy and windy days should give way to
sunny, Westerly breezes and for our good fortune we will
not have to blast away the mountain and build a
North/South runway.
As activity
increases it is important to note a recent safety event
that was discussed at our last membership meeting.
A pilot set out to retrieve a downed aircraft.
In the trek through rough, hilly terrain the
pilot experienced chest pains and breathing difficulty.
Fortunately, another flier observed the
occurrence and came to assist.
Thinking quickly the rescue pilot called 911 for
assistance even though the pilot of the downed aircraft
asked not to call for assistance.
We discovered in the aftermath of this incident
that most of us do not know the street address of our
site. We
learned three important things from this incident.
First, do not
go unaccompanied to retrieve an aircraft.
Second,
it is essential to know our site address.
Note: It is on the red safety placard on the
North side of the bulletin board.
Write it down on your membership card.
Future cards will have this information printed
on it
Third,
have someone go to the gate to escort emergency
medical personnel to the accident victim
In this case
our victim did recover after a stay in the hospital.
He did experience a myocardial infarction, the
all too familiar heart attack.
I thank all of you who assisted this member, and
in particular, Ellsworth Orr, who made it possible for
all concerned to look forward to many more days of
flying and camaraderie.
Fly Safe,
Always,
- Carl

SECRETARY'S MINUTES
Mark Lane
The general
membership meeting was called to order at 11:07 a.m. on July 11th,
2010. Present were Carl
Diefenbach – President, Crawford Meeks – Vice President, and Mark Lane –
Secretary. 19 club members
were present. The June
meeting minutes were approved unanimously by the membership.
The June Treasurer’s report was approved unanimously by the
membership.
Membership Report:
The club membership stands at 89 members.
83 regular members, 6 junior members.
The club would like to welcome back member
Jerry Toppel.
Field Maintenance Report:
·
The grass/weed cutting is done for the year.
Field Safety Report:
FS Officer, Ian
Maclaughlin, reported on a medical incident that occurred a few weeks
ago. A club member
complained of chest pains and needed precautionary medical attention.
Another club member immediately called 911 and a paramedic was
dispatched. The club member
is doing better and should make a full recovery.
This brought to issue the need for all club members to carry the
street address of the flying field with them at all times.
While out in the field (away from the bulletin board) if a club
member needs to call 911 on a cell phone, they will not be able to tell
dispatchers the address of the club.
Since the club is located at the landfill, this might not be easy
for paramedics to find quickly.
Perhaps club members can write the club address on their
membership cards? Next
year’s membership cards will be printed with the club address on the
back.
Old Business:
None
New Business:
None
The meeting was
adjourned at 11:17 a.m.
Show ‘n Tell:
