Tally so far

[James Carlson]

Here's what I've got so far.  It looks like the two "nos" aren't
actually "no" per the original question that was asked, and the others
who've contributed so far are very interested.

Jim Carlson	yes
Todd Brooks	yes
Bob Irving	yes
Bob McAloon	thinking
Bill McCann	yes
Steve Gordon	no (but because building ?)
Matthew Perrone	no (but didn't see second proposal)
Mike Lysik	interested

This looks to me like a good validation of the financing approach, the
aircraft, and the basic outline of the club.

I think the next steps (perhaps not necessarily in order) are:

  - Contact Estes to find out of the plane really is still available,
    and let them know we're interested.  We're back a step if it's
    not.

  - Get in touch with a lawyer who can help out with the club
    formation paperwork (making sure we get the incorporation and tax
    situation right).

  - Contact a bank and insurance company to start getting some quotes.

  - Come up with a draft detailed message to send to the rest of the
    interested people (on the main eefc interest list) that outlines
    the proposal and solicits the initial club members.

Any volunteers to make some calls or do some writing?  (I'm willing to
do that last one.)
