No beer, no Sloppy Joes, and no pie a la mode this time – just the board members on a teleconference at 6:30 PM

The directors reviewed the Reno-Fernley event.  The event went well but lost about $1,600.  The numbers are not yet final, but the balance in the road race account will probably be 0 after all of the receipts and expenses have cleared.

Next on the agenda was a review of the remaining schedule of events.  Last year’s Solo 2 event over Labor Day weekend at Lovelock was sparsely attended, and the same thing could happen at the September 3^rd event.  One of the options is to run two run groups to cover the work assignments.  The same could hold true for the September 4^th Club Trials event.  Doug will send an e-mail out to the membership asking for an indication of attendance from the members.  It might make sense to try and reschedule the Solo 2 and move the Club Trials event to the same weekend as the October 15^th Club Trials… which was moved from October 8^th.  Final resolution on the Labor Day events needs to be reached at the August 10^th general membership meeting, so the newsletter should go out after that meeting to reflect any schedule changes.

Other items of discussion included the following:

·         Lonny will no longer manage the airport at the end of September, so we’ll have to find an alternative way to watch the aircraft traffic at Lovelock.

·         Greg will be the keeper of the points for the Time Trials series.

·         The NORPAC convention is January 6^th-8^th.

·         We need a volunteer to begin working on year-end trophies.

·         We need an event chair for the year-end banquet.

·         We still need to purchase additional radios;  Dean has acquired an FM transmitter for broadcasting of results and announcement.

The following agenda items were tentatively set for the August 10^th general membership meeting.

·         Report on the Reno-Fernley Raceway event

·         Report on the July 16^th-17^th Solo 2 at Stead

·         Discussion of September 3^rd-4^th and October 15^th-16^th event scheduling

·         Year-end trophies

·         Year-end banquet

The teleconference adjourned at 8:00 PM.

Respectfully submitted by Doug Driver, Secretary.
