New Business:
Ideas were discussed to encourage meeting attendance. 1) Several volunteers will call members in the week prior to each meeting to encourage them to attend. 2) Members will be encouraged to bring a non-member pilot or student pilot to our meetings. 3) We will ask Rhonda Hamm-Niebreugge to arrange a newspaper story of our tour of Lambert Airport. 4) Members should check our website on a regular basis and request that Laura Million (our web master) remove old information is removed or submit news items or photos of our events for our website.
Libby Yunger moved and Mary Kinnaw seconded that we donate $150 to the Wings of Hope in support of Teresa Camp and Beverly Cleair if they participate in the Air Race Classis. The motion passed.

We discussed the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri request that we present a science/aviation program at their day camp for grades 6-12 at Florissant Valley Community College during the week of 12-16 July. We do not have a suitable off-airport program and will decline the request.

Jean Murry announced that our proxy votes for the International Conference in Hawaii have been given to Rita Adams of the Chicago Chapter.

Mary Kinnaw was named Corresponding Secretary and will write thank you letters to our invited speakers.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:50 pm.
