Amendments to the Standing Rules:
The amendments that were drawn up by Martha Norman and sent with the Newsletter in September, October, and November were discussed. Amendments 1 and 2 were unanimously accepted. Amendment 3 was tabled.
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.
Teresa Camp moved that we adopt this amendment as written, Jan Pocock seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved.
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.
Teresa Camp moved we adopt this amendment as written, Libby Yunger seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
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.
It was unanimously agreed to table this amendment. The amendment is unnecessary since the Standing Rules already provide a mechanism for reimbursing expenses that a majority of the membership deems appropriate. Over the past three months, members have expressed concern that the Chapter does not have the funds to name “official delegates” nor should it send such a delegate to most meetings. In the rare event that a member merits attendance at a meeting and cannot attend without financial assistance from the Chapter, it is most appropriately handled as an individual request to the membership.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Libby Yunger, Secretary

Please bring nonperishable food items to the meeting for the Circle of Concern. Gussie Freese is collecting these items in November this year because our Holiday luncheon is later in December than usual.
Amendments:
Martha Norman has asked that we consider the following amendments to the Chapter By-Laws (the changes are either bolded or in red). We did not discuss these amendments at the October meeting, so I am including them again with this newsletter for discussion and vote at the November meeting:
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.

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.

September meeting: Sunday, September 23 – Creve Coeur Airport
12:00 noon – Picnic Lunch at the FBO (includes a choice of meats,
cole slaw, potato salad, and other fixings, price is $6 per person)
1:30 p.m. – Meeting in the upstairs meeting room at the FBO
There are a lot of folks at Creve Coeur who have restored or are restoring old aircraft, and there will be ample time after the meeting to snoop around the hangars. If enough members are interested, we may be able to get Al Stix to give us a tour of his museum of antique aircraft (for a fee). Also if Ken and Dot Kotik are there, they have the fanciest hangar in the Midwest which doubles as a gallery for Ken’s aircraft paintings.
Directions to Creve Coeur Airport:
From US 40: Take US 40 to I-270 North (toward Chicago). Get off at MO-
364/Page Ave. West. Take exit 17 for Maryland Hts Expressway. Turn right at Maryland Hts Expressway and go about 1.1 miles to Creve Coeur Mill Rd. Turn left – that is the entrance to the airport.
From MO-141 North: Take MO-141 north until it ends in Olive Blvd. Turn
right. At Creve Coeur Mill Rd. (I think that’s the next light) turn left. Follow Creve Coeur Mill Rd about 3.5 miles – it will cross Maryland Hts. Expressway and enter the airport.
From Illinois North: Take I-270 west across the river. Exit at I-70 West toward
Kansas City. Take exit 231A, Earth City Expressway S (after about a mile it becomes Maryland Hts Expressway). Continue a total of 3.3 miles to Creve Coeur Mill Rd. Turn right and enter the airport.
From I-55: Go North on I-55 to I-270. Take I-270 north to MO-364/Page
Avenue West. From that point follow the direction for “From US” above
We hope to see everyone on Sunday, September 23.
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 elegible 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.
September 2007
September meeting: Sunday, September 23 – Creve Coeur Airport
12:00 noon – Picnic Lunch at the FBO (includes a choice of meats,
cole slaw, potato salad, and other fixings, price is $6 per person)
1:30 p.m. – Meeting in the upstairs meeting room at the FBO
There are a lot of folks at Creve Coeur who have restored or are restoring old aircraft, and there will be ample time after the meeting to snoop around the hangars. If enough members are interested, we may be able to get Al Stix to give us a tour of his museum of antique aircraft (for a fee). Also if Ken and Dot Kotik are there, they have the fanciest hangar in the Midwest which doubles as a gallery for Ken’s aircraft paintings.
Directions to Creve Coeur Airport:
From US 40: Take US 40 to I-270 North (toward Chicago). Get off at MO-
364/Page Ave. West. Take exit 17 for Maryland Hts Expressway. Turn right at Maryland Hts Expressway and go about 1.1 miles to Creve Coeur Mill Rd. Turn left – that is the entrance to the airport.
From MO-141 North: Take MO-141 north until it ends in Olive Blvd. Turn
right. At Creve Coeur Mill Rd. (I think that’s the next light) turn left. Follow Creve Coeur Mill Rd about 3.5 miles – it will cross Maryland Hts. Expressway and enter the airport.
From Illinois North: Take I-270 west across the river. Exit at I-70 West toward
Kansas City. Take exit 231A, Earth City Expressway S (after about a mile it becomes Maryland Hts Expressway). Continue a total of 3.3 miles to Creve Coeur Mill Rd. Turn right and enter the airport.
From I-55: Go North on I-55 to I-270. Take I-270 north to MO-364/Page
Avenue West. From that point follow the direction for “From US” above
We hope to see everyone on Sunday, September 23.
