  1. WAAAMUpdate
  2. The Fly in occurred and WAAAM was able to break even on the event. The Smoke did prevent most flying but many people drove in and some minor flying occurred. This is typically a fund raiser for WAAAM, but they were still able to celebrate their 10 year anniversary and limit losses.
  1. Glider Operation discussion – trailer decision
  2. A discussion occurred about the trailer in the glider area. A permanent type structure, such as a pre-built shed, is preferable. But the Port is allowing the current trailer until spring when a new agreement will be up for discussion. The Port and the Glider club will work through what type of structure they can have there and how irrigation may be brought to keep it grassy instead of dusty. This discussion will be held offline with a solution brought back to the committee.
  1. Other items to discuss
