AIAA St. Louis Section Council Meeting Notes 5 Nov 01

No official meeting was held due to the lack of a quorum. The discussions among the members present are summarized below.

· Treasurer’s Report – Karen Copper

Changes since the last report reflect interest earned on savings and awards and rebates from AIAA National. The rebate was $3002.50 for the Liberty Bell 7 program. The section award was for $700. We are in need of programs for the coming year.

· Pre-College Outreach

We are collecting the email addresses of the school systems in the area to have a work-around to the possible delays in the U.S. Mail due to terrorist activity.

No calls have been received from registrants for the teacher's program with Historic Aircraft Preservation this Saturday. We have $200 budgeted for this event. The school system of the Archdiocese of St. Louis was NOT contacted. We should consider using the Guinness paper airplane contest as an alternate venue for this program.

· Newsletter

Next issue will be out this month. Need material for the issue. We must publish if we are to realize the ad revenue.

· Young Professional Award

Collecting nominees for the award. Have some already. Need to maintain nomination quality to ensure future Sperry Award win..

· Pilot Education

The security issues with Boeing are being worked. We can't charge for the event. There are two other sponsors: the FAA and the St. Louis Flight Instructors Association, who provide the program. Our traditional role is to provide the facility. This has been the arrangement for 27 years.

· Next Meeting is 3 December 2001

Respectfully submitted,

Bob Dowgwillo

St. Louis Section Secretary
