Treasury has over $4600, but owes gas and repairs costs for mowing.
Speaking of which… Kenny has been doing the mowing, needs to mow slightly more than once a week. A belt breaks each time.
USHPA report: most recent business is drones are getting more locked down by FAA. They are impinging on flying sites more and more.

LZ Surveying – Open Spaces gave us 50 foot right of way on the road all the way from route 52 to the launch area, plus 60 acres around the launch with a drainage easement near the bottom. The Ellenville Planning board says the amount of trees cleared is outside zoning regulations but we should be able to get a variance awarded in a few months.
Other Items:
- Paul was at Kitty Hawk 50th Spectacular, and it was indeed spectacular. Usually 3rd week of May.
