NOVEMBER 2, 2004  MEETING  MINUTES:
President Farley Phillips called the meeting to order promptly at 7:00 PM. Farley asked Vic Jines who was sitting in for Secretary Willard Beard to read the minutes from the October, 2004 meeting.  The minutes were read and approved.
Farley then asked Treasurer B.C. Kistler to give a treasurer report. B.C. reported the club has a balance of $3239.45. This includes the $295 spent on treating the field for grubs and fire ants last week and a corrected profit of $605.07 made at the Big Bird Fly-in. The report was approved as read.

Farley then asked Field Committee Chairman Rufus Lejeune to give his report. Rufus stated the field is in good condition but the committee has lost the services of Glen Darce who has resigned. Marvin Wooster offered his services and joined the committee. The field had been sprayed for grub worms and fire aunts. He also stated the shed and front gate had been left unlocked. This puts the field and shed contents at great risk and must be avoided.

Farley then turned to Safety Officer Bob McMillan for his report. Bob stated he had nothing to report. Farley asked if there was any old business. George Sexton requested that at the next Big Bird an area different from that used for start and warm-up of the large planes be designated.

The Cajun R/C Club is having a Fly-in Saturday November 6.

Farley asked if there was any new business. Raymond and his son, Michael became members of the club. We all welcome them. Raymond David was voted in as a member effective January,  2005. We all welcome him to the club.
