January 6th, 2023 Meeting of Minneapolis Model Aero Club

Due to technical difficulty, the Zoom meeting was up at 12:28 pm. 4 people were on, Jim J., Andy R., Bill K., and Ken F. The meeting was called to order by Dennis Batty.

Treasurer's report - Ron will keep some cash out in 1’s and 5’s for change at events and plans on attending the upcoming contests.

Dennis encouraged people to offer input for the MMAC website including sending in photos to be posted on the site. Ken mentioned that NFFS has our previous newsletters on their site and recommended we link to that. Tim said he would do that. (it has been done)

New Business

Dennis asked about club finances and is there any need to increase dues. It appears that the bank balance has been the same for quite some time so we are breaking even which is fine. No need at this time to do anything.

There was discussion about what events should be held at the outdoor contests. We will be changing HoSoFo to a Sparky competition, we will add electric as an event, listed as e-36 but we will allow anything. There is interest in doing a mass launch, Gary suggested using a Sky Bunny to encourage newcomers. 

Andy R. has put together the club records for the indoor site we are using this year and will keep them up. Tim has posted these to the website.

Meeting adjourned at 1:30 pm
