There were five students who showed up at the first session of ground school; three of whom are scholarship applicants.  Mark regrets we hadn’t gotten the material to the students so they could have prepared for the first session, but they all have materials to prepare for next week.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Our Prez (a/k/a social chair) has a new money-making idea for our scholarship fund. WATER BALLOON DROP CONTEST (and spot landing contest). Everyone was enthusiastic about the idea. Discussion was held re how it would work (putting names on balloons, food, the time and date for the event, etc.). June 10 seemed to work (week before father’s day). More info later.
