OFFICERS REPORTS

2nd. V.P. - Ben Meharg reported that he had received a large list of potential members from National which would require a very large mass mailing. He suggested that he would do an elimination by categories i.e. age and location. He will then bring the list to the Board meeting for the Board's consideration and decision on what is expedient.

3rd. V.P. - Charles Bush announced that he would not be at the March dinner meeting and that Rylen Rudy will substitute for him.

Newsletter - Bev Kelsey reported that the newsletter deadline was Feb. 28. She further commented that she had input from Conrad Derdeyn, AMOAA member, who suggested we might try to have our dinner meetings at Camp Mabry next year. This possibility is under consideration currently. He also said he is a member of the Balcones CC if we were interested in pursuing this facility for dinner meetings.
