Brams Meeting 10/28/08 started at 7pm at Cains Field.  Three members were present.

There was no Treasurer's Report. BRAMS check book balance as of 11/2/2008 $949.39.

A motion was made and seconded regarding the Officers of the Club for next year.  There was no news on Winter Flying in Big Rapids.  As a reminder, there will be flying on the first and third Tuesday of the month at the Cadillac Club.  The location of the flying site will be on our website and there will be a $5.00 charge for clubmembers.   

Carpooling for flying in Cadillac was suggested, but as gas prices are coming down, it may not be necessary.

Tony Cornell is now the official Treasurer of our Club and the responsibility has been transferred over by Wayne O'Neil.  Mike Rafferty, Manager of Roben-Hood Airport wants us to have a Fun Fly in 2009 and it appears it will be held on July 25, 2009 which is the last Saturday in July. (We should look into having our show the 1^st Saturday of August; the new White Cloud RC club is having a show on Saturday July 26. I thought we decided on the 1^st Saturday in August. Tony)

The meeting adjourned at 7:30pm.

This was our last meeting of the year.  Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at Cains Field.
