President’s Report – Roger Dahl - [email protected]
Hey All,
How quickly summer comes and goes around here! It has been a good season, if you're a kite flyer! Actually, the
wind makes you a better pilot! We will be having our next meeting at Abby's Pizza, so bring your appetite, and any new projects! I hope to see you all there!

Treasurers Report - Al Barrington - [email protected]
Our membership is at 75. The treasury balance is currently at $8,292.60.
As reported at the August meeting Monster Fest 2015
brought in $1,427.00. After all the bills were paid our net was $981.41. With that, ERCA was able to send a $300 check to AMA for our contribution toward the combined effort to support The Wounded Warrior Project as part of AMA's National Model Aviation Day 2015. Thanks to everyone who helped make it all possible.
With the change in the weather and the shorter days we will be moving our meetings back indoors starting with our next one coming up on September 22nd. We will be meeting back at the River Road Abby's Pizza in Eugene. At the coming meeting we will open nominations for 2016 ERCA Officers. Be thinking of whom you feel would best represent the interests of the club in the offices of: President - currently Roger Dahl, Vice President - currently Mel "JR" Graham, Secretary - currently Don Hansen, Treasurer - currently AL Barrington, and Safety Coordinator - Currently Mike Burgess.
We will also be taking nominations for Member of the Year. Awarded to any member for the most dedication and significant contribution in support of ERCA.
Be on the lookout for a better (quieter) meeting place. We are open to suggestions from the membership for the coming new year.
The officer position of Treasurer will be open this coming year. I will need to step down after serving in that capacity for the ninth straight year and combined Secretary for seven of those nine. I am answering the call to serve my community of Fern Ridge as the future President of the Fern Ridge Kiwanis. I will be helping lead a very active group of people in community service projects and fund raisers to support Doernbecher's Children's Hospital and many other worthy local charitable efforts. I plan to spend much of the coming year working with the new Treasurer to minimize the impact on the club and make for a smooth transition. Thank you for your trust over the years. It has been my honor to serve as both your past Secretary and Treasurer.
Keep 'em flying and as always, happy landings.
AL Barrington
