 The Secretary was asked to read the minutes from our August meeting.  The minutes were read and approved by all members present.
 The Treasurer was asked for a treasurer’s report.  It was given and approved by all members present.
 The Field committee reported that the grass was cut last Thursday and the field was in good shape.
 Safety – No safety problems to report. – Mike gave us a reminder to inspect our planes at home prior to bringing them to the field.  Make sure all the connectors, batteries, servos, engine mounts, and all the other parts are in the proper condition for safe flight.  It was also pointed out that the AMA requires the owner of each plane to have his name and AMA number and address in each plane for them to be covered by insurance.
 Road conditions – Still have to go to Erwinville to turn around to get to the field.  It looks like the construction is in its final stage so they will be installing cross overs before too long.
