The MACTS will be scheduled differently this year than in the past two years. The Super Safety Seminar has been reinstated and will be held from 8 am to 12 noon on Saturday, January 19, at the Busch Student Center. The Trade Show will be held from noon to 5 pm following the Super Safety Seminar – they will not be running concurrently. Booth traffic should slow down by 2 pm and allow us to hold a meeting in the booth area.
We will again be selling luggage tags and auctioning off a goodie basket. Jean Murry has asked that each of us bring a goodie (bottle of wine, crackers, cookies, candy, room temp cheese or sausage, etc) for the basket. She will provide the basket and the wrapping materials.
The MACTS schedule is attached. Additional information and a campus map are available at www.macts.org.
Ninety-Nines Awards: The January 15th deadline is rapidly approaching for submitting nominations. Chapters, individual members, or groups of members can submit nominations and the nominees can be living or deceased, and from any country. The contribution may have occurred at any time, past or present, and may be a single action or series of events. For additional information contact: Corbi Bulluck, International Awards Chairman, 919-387-6664, mcbulluck@aol.com. The Award of Achievement is given to a 99 (or a group within the 99s, such as a chapter, section, Trust, etc.) in recognition of contributions made to The 99s or to aviation in general (such as aviation history, education, science, exploration, etc.). The other two awards are presented to non-99s. The first one, the George Palmer Putman Award, is given in recognition of support of The 99s. The other award, the Award of Merit, is given to recognize a contribution(s) made to aviation in general. Each of these awards may be presented to an individual or an organization. Individual winners may be male or female.
Each nomination should be a one-page letter and should include the name, address, and phone number of the nominee (or the nominee’s next of kin, if the nominee is deceased). Three additional pages of substantiating material (resume, newspaper articles, letters of endorsement, etc.) may be attached.
WAYPOINTS: The January issue of Waypoints has been distributed electronically to everyone with an e-mail address and should have been sent to everyone without e-mail. Congratulations to editor Sally Siebe for producing a very professional-looking magazine and to the contributors for their well-written articles.
Air Marking: Our chapter is planning to paint the compass rose at Greenville Airport in April or May. Libby Yunger has the Air Marking Manual from the Mid Atlantic Section and will also contact the chapters in the North Central section that are experienced Air Markers. Volunteers are needed to gather materials and oversee the project. If you would like to serve on the air marking committee, please contact Libby at girlpilot@sbcglolbal.net or 314-725-0428. .

The meeting was called to order at 2 pm by chairman, Sally Siebe. Libby Yunger read the minutes and they were accepted as written. Martha Norman read the treasurers report and it was accepted.
We raffled two baskets of goodies at the MACTS and earned approximately $160 for the chapter. Jan Pocock moved that we put the money from the raffle into the Del Scharr Scholarship fund, Gussie Freese seconded the motion. The motion was approved.
Sally announced that the deadline for submission of articles for the April Waypoint is the end of March. The type of stories she is looking for expand on the chapter quarterly reports. Suggestions for stories include a story with pictures of our library display, Martha might write on NIFA, Teresa might right on the Air Race Classic or on getting a seaplane rating, Jean might write on the exhibit at the MO History Museum, Vivian might write on ballooning or her photography, Anne might write on soaring, and Libby might write on flying the T-6. Deadline for the July issue is the end of June. Submissions should be made to Sally Siebe.
The new North Central section website is www.ncs99s.org. Members will need to enter a user name and password to enter the members’ only section. The Waypoint and registration forms for NC Section events will be available on this website.
The library exhibit is at the Mid-County Library in Clayton in January. Kayleen Amerson is taking the exhibit to Mascoutah IL in February. We need to make an inventory of everything that is in the library exhibit. We also need to decide whether we are going to keep the exhibit going beyond December 2008.
Libby Yunger is looking for a committee to oversee organizing everything for painting a compass rose at Greenville Airport this Spring. Ann Mongiovi and Martha Norman offered to help, though Martha would be unable to attend planning meetings.
Delia Greer, Jean Murry, and Jan Pocock were named to the Nominating Committee. Jean proposed that we keep the same slate of officers for next year. Delia seconded the proposal and it was approved.
The deadline for nominations for the Forest of Friendship is April 15. This year’s theme is security and solice in flight.
The Scott Airshow will feature the Thunderbirds this year. We can put up an information table at Scott to attract new members, but we cannot sell anything. No decision was made concerning whether we would participate.
Jan Pocock reported that Kim Atkins accepted an assignment in Italy beginning the end of January and would be there for at least a year.
Jean Murry will try to arrange a February meeting at the State Police Hangar at Spirit Airport. The March meeting will be in conjunction with a Girl Scout badge program at the GSL Air & Space Museum.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Libby Yunger
Secretary
