Hi Fred,
OK Jerry Moline responded and the 7th is fine, his first choice of
location is Great Falls. Lets go ahead and send out the notice so
everyone knows the time and place. Fred Lark has interest and I think
he will attend so that might be a alternate. You might confirm that
everything is a go and I will plan on sending out the notice on Friday.
Do we want to hold the draft stuff until they arrive or should I attach
what you sent to me?
Thanks Fred this is coming together pretty good!
Bailey

Bailey:
We need seven signatures on the articles of incorporation and
the by-laws, so if any of them will agree to those and will sign the
documents, we can go ahead with the meeting without them. I would think
that they would like to be at the organizational meeting. We could send
the documents out to them and they could agree to them and sign the last
sheet. It is not the best way to do things, but if that is all the
participation we are going to get right now, then we need to decide to
go forward with it. It would be a good thing to have a couple extra
people at the meeting that would agree to be a board member just in case
we need them. We could always go back to the original seven and tell
those who choose not to show, that we found someone else to serve. If
Lyons can't make it from Havre, I will call Cut Bank or Fort Benton.
Let's go with Helena on the 7th, I will get a motel with a conference
room we can use for the day. I will go down on Friday night and set up
the room. Or, if you want to wait a couple of days to send out the
invitation, I will give you a call when I have the motel set up.

Hello Fred,
I think we need to go ahead and confirm a date and location.
The members have had a number of days to reply and as usual some did not
reply. I have 4 including you that confirm that Sat. Aug 7th is a good
date and no one seem to care about which location they prefer, Helena or
Great Falls. You can decide that if you like. This is common practice
for me over the past years to just go ahead with a decision as there
are always a few that fail to participate and it holds up the progress.
Four of seven is about as good as it gets. What do you think?
Bailey

Bailey:
No problem with the communications, don't worry about
it. It actually shows some transparency to those who received it. If
you get any comments back from people other than the seven, don't
hesitate to invite them to the organizational meeting. It might look
better to show that others were in attendance at the organizational
meeting. The last thing we want to have people think is that it was, or
is a closed meeting.
August 6th or 7th will be fine. I will arrange for a
meeting facility in either city on the dates acceptable to everyone. We
can start at 10:00 A.M. and go until approximately 2:00 or 3:00 P.M.
That should give us enough time to make the decisions we need to make.
I will prepare an agenda of items we need to make decisions on so the
meeting will stay on track. I will have some "DRAFTS" of possible
Mission Statements, Goals and Objectives, Benefits of Membership, and
maybe even some Codes of Ethics. You might ask attendees to be thinking
about these items as they drive or fly to the organizational meeting
because we want to develop these so they can be published with our
introductory information.
Thanks,

To The MTCAA Board of Directors,
First of all I want to thank all of you for volunteering
to help put together the necessary documents for the Montana Community
Airport Association. We had over 125 people attend all or portions of
our last session at the Montana Aviation Conference in Missoula. With
those kind of numbers we decided to make this an official organization.
To do that I asked Fred Keistiko to find out what we needed to do to get
the recognition of the State of Montana and the tax people so we could
do business. Fred has been involved in numerous projects like this and
was more than willing to lead us through the necessary steps. He has
called some of you and I have contacted the others. We need the seven
of you that are supporters of what we are proposing to do to gather one
time, maybe two, so we can put together some by-laws and draft the
articles of incorporation, set the date and place for the Fall
conference and discuss the possible ideas for the agenda. This needs
to be done soon so we can get on with the planning of the conference
before Fall gets here. We are thinking of Helena or Great Falls as a
place of meeting to do this business and maybe on the first week end of
August. I'm sure Fred will keep us lined out so we can draft all the
necessary documents to present to the membership for their approval at
the Fall Conference. OK first we need to set a date when all can plan
on being together for a good portion of a day.
I'm listing all the info for communication that I have
on all of you. Some have more than one E-mail so please let me know
where you want you communications sent, also correct phone #s etc.
Please respond to this E-mail.
Thank You Bailey Egan, Acting Chairman MTCAA
