The meeting was brought to order by club president Bill O’Donnell.  The meeting was held, for the last time this year, at the flying field in Medfield. It turned out to be another great evening for flying and the turnout was excellent. About 20 members showed up to fly and attend the meeting.
... Bill O’Donnell asked for a moment of silence in memory of Tom Howland who passed away on August 1 at the age of 94. Tom was a long-time club member and avid model builder right up to the end. We will miss you Tom. In Tom’s name the club made a donation to the Framingham Heart Study Fund in the amount of $100.
... A motion to accept the July secretary’s report as stated in the August 2008 Yankee Flyer was made and seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Dave Seale gave the treasure’s report. 
            Income $180.00            Expense $263.49
            Checking $2731.88       CD account $2015.12
A motion to accept the treasurer’s report was made and seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
... Bill O’Donnell is still working on the plans for the shade shelter. He will also provide a cost estimate when he presents his plans.
... Bill thanked Mike Mauricio for making the two new pilots benches and all those that helped to assemble them at the field on Saturday August 16. Mike, the benches look great.
... The new plane raffle was announced. This is a pilot’s choice raffle with the winner having the choice of either a Hanger 9 Show Time 4D 90 ARF or Hobbistar 60 Mark 3 ARF. The tickets are $3 each or $5 for three. Contact club V.P. Brad Kaye if you would like to purchase a chance or two. A big thanks goes to Jim McCoy for making the tickets.

Photo of the Month

This month we have another video clip that I found while wasting time...I mean researching...what's available on the Internet for interesting images for the Yankee Flyer. Many of us have seen the video of the ill-fated monster turbine-powered B-52 bomber. This B-29 looks to be just about the same size, but the ending of the video is far less disastrous. Enjoy...
