Called to order by the Prez @ 2000 hrs.

Attendees: John Malkin[aka, Malkinski], Norton, Norm Furutani[thx for the ride!],

Tom Laird, Hector, J.Parker[aka 'The Prez'] plus this scribe.

Mr Norton stated we have 2346.30 in our treasury.

The next meeting will be post-Odessa World Champs, held at the Bauer's

home in Chino Hills. 
There are bound to be many and sundry great stories and tales of our heroic
team's efforts to conquer the World of Free Flight!  Be there or...miss out!

Long discussions on the Big AL non-flyoff and related subjects were the

main order of business for us this evening.
Most felt we option out too easily on flyoffs in less than 'ideal' conditions.

Subject was: AM CUP tiebreaker time limit rule.  To Extend or Not?
Jim will write his decision in a note after his return from Ukraina. 

Stay tuned...but changes will only be made to rules at the Holiday Dec meeting.

Regarding our club contests planning for the rest of '07, Hector was confident
the Patterson in Nov will be run much as it was last year.  Norton will be assisting
and they expect to engage other selected expert staff.

The F1A WC, Mike McKeever, sent a note down with some ideas to enhance this

years Sierra Cup. 

New logo for decals, T-shirts etc,with a theme of transition from Eagles to

SCAT Club organisation are being looked into. 

Jim will ask our resident Graphics man, Randy Secor to do some sketches

for consideration of the above.
Mike will file for sanction, do pre-contest announcements and CD-ship duties.
The club will cover his expenses and receive any monies remaining after final
accounting is completed.
The club will need to draw staff from our members to assist with the usual
contest tasks.

While Mike proposed radio reporting scores to the control center, the
consensus was that if 2 or 3 tables were placed suitably, the fliers would
quickly be able to enter their scores. 

This removes need for some staffing, as no transfer by radio is needed.
Please send your ideas on how we can enhance our Sierra Cup event to
become even more respected, as a premier World Cup event deserves.

On a sad note, I expect many of you read on SEN that the granddaughter of
Lois & Jay Sloan, who do the food consession on field, died from injuries just
after the USFFC.
I sent them a note of condolence in the clubs' name.
If you want to call them, their number is: 559 834 1838

In new business, the FFTSC requested proposals for hosting the Team Finals in
2008.  George Batiuk is sending in a West Coast proposal by the July 1 deadline.
That means it would be Lost Hills based, probably in late Sept or early Oct of next

year as in past finals.

No doubt he will be asking for staff assistance from our membership,

as well as across the nation.

The meeting was adjourned at 2115 hrs.
Kathy served up some delicious ice cream with strawberries & cookies

on the side!  Thanks again.
