ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Fly Iowa—Tharp noted that the purpose of the meeting was to serve as a final
opportunity to debrief from the event. Tharp shared with members a financial
statement of income and expenses. He stated that the majority of the invoices
had been received and the event had raised just over$30,000 and had expenses
of just under$27,000. Tharp noted that there were still a small number of
invoices that had to be finalized and paid.
Members began to discuss the attendance and based on activity and estimates
that around 5000 people had attended the event. Gardinier asked about the
changes to the program guide cover regarding the original image that Mary
Moye-Rowley had created. Members noted that the program guide cover had
contained the logo that Mary designed, but the rest of the cover reflected the
signage work. Gardinier suggested sending a letter to Mary. Dunkhase asked
how many children had received airplane rides. Gardinier stated that
approximately 75 had signed up on Saturday and they did a total of 102 rides
during the Young Eagles activity.
McDonald noted that the FAA seminar had about 28 people attend. Members
commented on the poor weather in the morning which could have affected the
turnout.
Tharp noted that he was working with Deb Nash to send tax receipts to groups
that gave money to the event and that they would include a copy of the program

guide. McDonald suggested that they also send a letter to Claude Spears who
had donated the sound equipment for the airshow. Tharp then asked members
for any lessons learned during the event.
Ogren stated that during the planning for the event it felt like the group would
receive information in spurts and in more of the 'you should be doing this' type
way. Ogren suggested the creation of a planning template which could assist
future groups when discussing and preparing for the event. Gardinier stated
even though Rockwell supported the IAPG, the event was rejected for additional
direct support. Gardinier suggested that IAPG keep that information in mind
when selecting airports that might naturally seek donations from them.
Dunkhase shared that with the success of the children's activities she was
interested in coming up with some other events to take place at the airport.
Members discussed different examples of airport activities. Tharp asked if there
were any other lessons learned members wanted to share with the group. Tharp
noted that regarding the final budget he would expect the final invoices would be
in to him soon and that he would finalize a report and distribute any extra funding
according the event agreements
