Our tour of the St. Louis County Police Hangar and aircraft was led by member Patrice Mullins, a 27 year veteran of the St. Louis County Police. She is currently a Senior Pilot and has amassed more than 6.000 hours flying helicopters. Her police work has yielded some very exciting experiences and we enjoyed hangar flying with her during and following the tour.
Our meeting was held in the conference room at Jet Corp where we were joined by Christine Malcomson-Young, a member of the San Gabriel Chapter and Lear Jet captain with FlexJet. She was sitting stand-by at the airport and seemed as thrilled to have something to do as we were to have her at our meeting.
The meeting was called to order at 11:35 am by Chairman Sally Siebe. The minutes were accepted as written. Martha Norman read the treasurers report, which was accepted, and gave an unofficial account of the money available in the Del Scharr Scholarship fund. We have had inquiries but no qualified candidates for the scholarship this year.
Libby Yunger and Martha Norman will audit the books in June.
The Installation Luncheon will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2008, at 12:30 pm at Oliver’s Restaurant in the main terminal at St. Louis Downtown Airport. Martha Norman will send formal invitations to all members. Since all current officers and directors have agreed to remain in office next year, no ballots will be sent to the membership. Chapter dues of $15 will be due in May. Libby Yunger will send a list of the names and addresses of the current chapter members to Martha and to membership chairman, Jean Murry.
Delia Greer, Jean Murry, and Jan Pocock are attending the North Central Section meeting in Osceola IA in April. Vivian Waters is attending the International Convention in Alaska.
The second issue of the Waypoint is available on the NC Section website. Hard copies should arrive by snail mail before the end of April.
Gussie Freese will attempt to get more information on the Learning for Life Space Camp scheduled for May 5-9. We will man a booth at the camp if feasible.

Member News:
We received the following note from Kim Atkins:
“I am not sure if you heard but I have moved to Aviano, Italy. The job offer was short notice and one that I could not turn down. Lots of responsibility and stress but that is where I thrive.
One other big thing is that I got married on 15 Jan 08. The only way that my (now husband) could get orders to Italy was for us to be married and we decided that our relationship was too wonderful to miss the chance to spend out lives together. Sounds like drama but it's not as we will be very happy once we are finally together. My 16 year old, Samantha will join me in May then Jason and his 13 year old son will move here in June.”

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. .

Greater St. Louis Nintey Nines
Minutes of the meeting of Saturday, January 19, 2008
at the Busch Student Center, SLU, Ninety-Nines booth at the MACTS
Present at the meeting: Teresa Camp, Gussie Freese, Delia Greer, Ann Mongiovi, Jean Murry, Martha Norman, Jan Pocock, Sally Siebe, Libby Yunger.
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
