Christmas give-away and Beauty Contest

December is our annual Christmas Party. We routinely hold a beauty contest in which all those present vote on a displayed kit as their favorite. Ron Foulks wins this one hands down with his P2V Neptune.

Another regular tradition is the Christmas give-away. This year, there were seven new kits given away as door prizes, each of a different genre.

Voting for officers occured. Yours truly, Doug Barton, was voted in as president (wish me luck). Fred Amos becomes V.P. (wish him luck, he has to put up with me!), Bob Delany remains on as secretary, and Julie Vaughn remains on as treasurer. Our new slate of directors are Mike McShea, Myron Lane, and Joe Hudson. Thanks to our retiring E-board for their hard work and we look forward to our new E-board moving us forward.

The annual Christmas banquet was held Decemeber 1st and was a lot of fun. The Bob Stroup award was awarded to our webmasters, Doug Barton and Mike Eastman for reviving the website and making it viable. Excellent food and drink was served by our Bevo Mill host! Thanks to Julie Vaughn for making all the arrangements.

No December meeting would be complete without our annual recognition contest. Once again, Bob Burgess hosted an all aircraft recognition contest featuring pictures of aircraft located in the St. Louis area. Everything from a MiG 15 to an F-18 Hornet were displayed. For many of us, the trainers and cargo aircraft proved to be particularly vexing.
