Greater St. Louis Nintey Nines
Minutes of the meeting of Tuesday, 23 October 2007 at Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum.
Present at dinner at Olivers and the Ninety-Nines meeting: Gussie Freese, Ruby, Fudoli, Delia Greer, Laura Million, Jean Murry, Martha Norman, Jan Pocock, Libby Yunger
The meeting was called to order at 7 pm by Vice-Chairman, Jean Murry. The minutes had been sent out with the newsletter and there were accepted with no corrections. Martha Norman gave the treasurers report and it was accepted. Martha announced that all directories had been distributed.
There was no old business.
New Business:
Libby Yunger received the Airmarking Guide from the Mid-Atlantic Section at the end of September and determined that there is not sufficient time to plan the Compass Rose and assemble all the necessary materials by the early part of November. Therefore, she recommended that this project be put off until Spring (March or April). Libby will inform Angie at Greenville Airport of our change in plans.
The November meeting was rescheduled for Saturday, November 17 at St. Charles County Airport. The CAF Museum and hangar is open from 10 am to 2:30 pm on Saturday. We will have lunch at Kilroys in the main terminal building at 11:30 am with the meeting at 1 pm in the main terminal lounge.
Since the October meeting was in conjunction with the NIFA Regional Competition at Parks College and Downtown Airport, Martha Norman gave very informative slide presentation on the history and organization of NIFA and some of her experiences as a NIFA judge, She had previously given this presentation at the North Central Section Spring meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Libby Yunger, Secretary

This meeting is in conjunction with the Regional NIFA Competition that is taking place at Parks College and St. Louis Downtown Airport during the week of October 21-26. The schedule of events and request for judges is either included with this mailing for those not on the e-mail list. Those on the e-mail list received this information last week. Martha Norman will discuss her experiences as a NIFA judge at this meeting. We plan to have information on the Ninety-Nines available to the participants during this event.
We did not discuss these amendments at the September meeting, so I am including them again with this newsletter for discussion and vote at the October meeting:
Amendments:
Martha Norman has asked that we consider the following amendments to the Chapter By-Laws (the changes are either bolded or in red):
STANDING RULES OF THE GREATER ST. LOUIS CHAPTER, NINETY-NINES, INC.
1. MEETINGS (Paragraph 1)
Unless otherwise notified in the Chapter Newsletter, meetings will be on the third Saturday of each month, or as published in the Handbook. The time and place of the meeting as well as the time and place of any associated activity (ie. lunch), if not an integral part of the meeting (ie. Officer Installation Luncheon), will be included in the Newsletter.
Reason: This is so that any one interested in being at the meeting, but does not wish to attend the associated activity, for whatever reason, can make the choice to do so. If the program for that meeting is an "all day" activity, she can be at the meeting without the expense of time/participation on an activity that may not be of her special interest or inclination.
2. AMENDMENTS (New Paragraph to go after Section ELECTIONS and before Section OFFICER DUTIES)
These Standing Rules may be amended at a regular meeting of the membership by a majority vote of the members in good standing present. The proposed amendments shall be submitted to all members at least thirty-days prior to the meeting. Members may vote by mail or e-mail as defined in Article X, Section 2, Item B, Paragraph 2 of the Bylaws of the Greater St. Louis Chapter of the Ninety-Nines, Inc.
Reason: A means to change the Standing Rules needs to be defined so that there is an organized and ordered means to keep the Standing Rules current and applicable to present day needs. This will keep the membership informed and give them a means to voice their opinion. The time frame is such that they will be able to consider the question at hand and be able to cast their vote on the subject(s) at hand.
3. EXPENSES (Paragraph 2 and make current paragraph 2 be paragraph 3.)
To encourage participation in the International Annual Meeting and in North Central Section Meetings, the Chapter Chairman or any one member in good standing who is giving a formal presentation at the meeting, may be named "Official Delegate" of the Chapter and may, in that capacity, request payment of the meeting registration fee from the Chapter treasury. It is understood that the named delegate is personally responsible for all other meeting related expenses including, but not limited to: travel, lodging, meals and entertainment. The naming of the "Official Delegate" will be done by vote of Chapter members in good standing at a Chapter meeting. That Chapter meeting shall be no earlier than the meeting preceding the "early" registration deadline of the event to be attended. The delegate and event must be entered into the minutes of that meeting. The "Official Delegate" will be named for only one meeting at a time. The "Official Delegate" must attend the business meeting and report to the Chapter at the next scheduled Chapter meeting. Her attendance at the specified meeting and a summary of her report will be entered into the minutes of the Chapter meeting following the event. Registration fees granted by the Chapter to the "Official Delegate" will be refunded to the Chapter in the event she can/does not attend the meeting.
Reason: To define who is eligible for compensation to attend meetings and which meetings they may be compensated for. Since there now is a precedent set, a definition must be determined.
