GENERAL MEETING MINUTES AAAA General Meeting Minutes

Tuesday July 23, 2019 Submitted by Susan Oldenburg, AAAA Secretary

At 6:30 PM our Vice President, Jennifer, opened the meeting with a welcome to our guests - From Los Lunas, the Osborn family, Stephon, Leah, Sawyer, & Ester. Rio Rancho, Zeriah & Shawn Lenard, and Kendra, Kierstlynn, & Charles Wehner, and finally from Albuquerque, Kaylee Zlotkin, JD & Marian Padilla and Veda Ortego. Congratulations go out to Morghan Chando & Ken Beebe for obtaining their Commercial certification this month. Our presentation this month consisted of six local Rio Grande Balloon Camp campers providing their observations, likes and dislikes from the recent Camp. In summary the favorite part of Balloon Camp was being able to pilot a balloon. Learning about the weather was also a favorite, and the friendships gained rounded out the best parts of the camp. As with all teenagers, the worst part of the camp was getting up so early in the morning. Changes they would like to see for next year consisted mostly of more hands on with less classroom lessons, and learning more about competition flying. Following the discussion with the campers there was a pictorial overview of the camp activities, then the live TV interview conducted by Steve Stucker from KOB TV. NM Quilters’ Association presented the 2019 Balloon quilt. They are starting to design the quilt for the 50th anniversary of Balloon Fiesta. To have your balloon considered for the quilt, a release form will need to be submitted with a color picture of your balloon. For more information visit their website nmqa.org. The Board was convened. Members present: President (Caryn); Vice President (Jennifer); Treasurer (Dick); Secretary (Sue); Special Events (Katie); Ways & Means (Madison); Education (Don); Flying Events (Zerek). Members absent: Community Relations (Jason). Vice President (Jennifer) – The August program will be a safety presentation by Beth Wright-Smith. September will be a showing of the 2019 Balloon Fiesta Safety video, and October’s program will be a Fiesta wrap up. 10

COMMITTEE REPORTS Education PRIVATE PILOT GROUND SCHOOL

The 2020 Ground School registrations are open and online on the AAAA website. The 2020 Ground School Schedule is: • PPGS #1 - February 21 – 23rd • CPGS - April 24 – 26th • PPGS #2 - June 5 – 7th Registration should be online soon for all three schools.

2019 FIESTA SAFETY SEMINAR

The theme for this year’s seminar is “In Support of Flying”. Speakers and subjects are still being finalized. Registration is available online now. The fees are $35 for AAAA members, $45 for non-members and $25 for crew and others. The seminar is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8 in the Sid Cutter Pilots’ Pavilion from 1 to 5 pm. We have been assured that both RPS and AIR insurance agencies will give their full seminar discounts for this event.

ROAD SCHOLAR-FIESTA PRESENTATIONS:

We have four Road Scholar tour group presentations scheduled during the balloon fiesta. This fewer sessions than in years past but these will be larger groups totaling about 365 attendees.

BALLOON CAMP

The Rio Grande Balloon Camp was held July 13 to 18 and was a huge success. We had only one day when no balloons were able to fly but the campers were still given instruction on laying out the systems and pre-flight procedures. By the end of camp, all the campers got to fly and had “burner time” either in free flight or on tether. We would like to thank all our sponsors and donors who will be listed in the next Cloudbouncer. But we would especially like to thank the AAA-IBM, Rainbow Ryders, and Aerco for their above and beyond contributions to the camp. We would also like to thank all the staff, pilots and crew who gave their time and effort.

Vice President Neida Courtney Bueno will be our presenter this month reviewing the Albuquerque Balloon Camp, which was just held last week. Neida Courtney will be at the meeting to present this year’s Balloon Fiesta Quilt. NM Quilters will also be there with releases for your balloon. Raffle tickets will be sold in the Museum, not in the meeting area. Thank you to the Balloon Fiesta field crew for finding AAAA a smaller shed in the same location. Another huge thank you to fellow board members for coming and helping sort and move into the new shed.

Cloudbouncer

Next month we will have a safety corner discussion with Beth Wright-Smith regarding proper securing of your tanks in your trailer.

Flying Events We were jam packed with fun stuff for our July event. We had 38 pilots checked in and 1 successfully threw a baggie. Congrats to Mo Chando for his first place throw! Some campers from the Rio Grande Balloon Camp flew off the south end of the field. Big thanks to all the pilots that flew or helped with the camp this year! The Zebras got some footage to use in their training videos for future zebras. Thank you to all the pilots that participated in getting so they could put that together. Our next event is August 10th at the Rio Rancho launch field. Registration starts at 6:00am. Briefing is at 6:30am. See you there!

Ways and Means Your 2019 roster is here!!! Look to pick up your copy at the General Meeting. Your new 2019 pin has arrived!!! Come to the Ways & Means table at the next general meeting to purchase one for $5. Have you seen the Barista Tumblers we are selling?? They come with two lids for Hot/Cold drinks. These mugs have a 17 oz capacity, they keep your beverages hot/cold for up to 12 hours, they are vacuum sealed, stainless steel and dishwasher safe! These mugs are specially designed and include the 2019 logo/pin on them. They are only $20 each! Have any fundraising ideas? Let me know! ways-means@ hotairballooning.org

Special Events Ice cream social went very well! Lots of participation and we went through 8 gallons of ice cream! AAAA picnic will be held following the August flying event at Mariposa Park! Bring a side dish to pass. The burgers and dogs will be provided! Please come join us! Jingle Bell and Friends & Lovers events are fast approaching! We'd welcome your time and talents in putting together these amazing events! Contact Katie Hefron to join the Special Events Committee! lilheff1807@gmail.com

Crew Development Crew development put together the tailgate cook off for the July flying event. Unfortunately no crews signed up to participate. We attribute this to multiple things happening during this flying event. If you or your crew would be interested in doing the cook off at a future flying event, send an email to Crew-dev@hotairballioning.org. If we have enough interest, we will revisit the idea of doing it this fall. Crew development is also hosting an introduction to balloons/ crewing seminar for the navigators on September 8th. This year will not be held during the flying event due to schedule conflicts. We could still use 3-4 balloons to help demonstrate their systems to participants. This will not be associated with a flight. Contact crew-dev@hotairballooning. org.

COMMENTS: CASH: So, here we are one month into our new fiscal year and not much to talk about.

INCOME STATEMENT: At the end of June we were showing an excess of disbursements over revenue of $5,653 in the Education Foundation compared to $3,144 for the same period last year. Excess disbursements over revenue in the AAAA Club were $493 compared to $-398 for the same period last year. Closing Comments: You will find in this issue of the CloudBouncer a one page summary of both the Education Foundation and the AAAA Club Statements of Receipts and Disbursements with Budget Comparison along with illustrative Pie Charts, which I hope you will take the time to review. I welcome any questions, comments, or thoughts for improvement. Dick Rice Treasurer Treasurer@hotairballooning.org

PRESIDENTS REPORT AAAA

TOP GUN

In a club the size of ours there are always several different groups of people. We tend to stay within our own group. Those that we grew up with or those that brought us into the sport of ballooning.

Top Gun (Steve Mezzancello & Will Fitzpatrick)

What I am asking is that you branch out of your group. Get to know others in our ballooning community. Talk to other club members you don't know or have been afraid to approach. Talk to the museum and their volunteers. Talk to Fiesta and their volunteers. Talk the paid ride operators. Talk to the DPEs. Talk to our sponsors. Talk to Top Gun Competition. Talk to the FAA. Talk to BFA. Talk to Rally Balloon Meisters. Talk to our committee members. Talk to our AAAA Board members. Talk to Balloon Explorium. Talk to Chick's Fly members. Talk to CAP members. Talk to our Youth. Talk to ATC. Talk to any other group that I forgot to mention. All these different groups are a wealth of knowledge about their part of ballooning.

Top Gun is an Educational organization providing mentorship to pilots wanting to hone their skills and increase abilities necessary for precision flying. If interested, contact any Top Gun Board member or come out to the next flying event.

July â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s event had 17 pilots sign in but due to increasing winds speeds it was cancelled.

You might just learn something new and even make some new and exciting lifelong friends. Caryn Welz
