Chuck hung our CME business cards on the wall at Just Trains to hopefully generate some interest and potential new members.

Signage for the flying field at Hillcrest Park; George’s friend offered to make a sign to be posted there. A decision still needs to be decided upon on the sign’s exact wording, size and fonts. “Home of the Concord Model Engineers, Est. 1953” was suggested. Also it was discussed the wording, “Control Line Field, AMA Insurance Required” should be added. We will need to decide on the location where the sign should be posted. It was suggested it could also be posted on the back stop fence, close to the parking lot. The City of Concord needs to approve the deign. Chuck and Lonnie are working jointly on completing this project. It was discussed a similar sign should be posted near the parking lot at the lake in Concord where we hold our regattas as well. All members are encouraged to submit their ideas, drawings and photos regarding potential CME Club sign designs.

The possibility and necessity of asking CME members to contribute “dues” again was discussed to cover our rent and potential other CME/AMA club expenses that may come up this year. We are currently paying $50.00 monthly to Just Trains for use of their facility for our monthly meetings. Our Treasury is gradually dwindling down. Maurice suggested we bring in old model kits that have been accumulating in our garages over the past several years to either be raffled off or sold at club meetings. The proceeds would go directly into out Treasury.

As the weather warms up, presumably in mid to late March, Maurice and Jerry are planning to schedule a club regatta. Time and date TBA.
