Whiteplains UNICOM #11: The Annual Meting
Whiteplains UNICOM #11: The Annual Meting
The by-laws of the Whiteplains Plantation Association require that an Annual Meeting be held on the third Tuesday in January. For 2007, that would be on January 16.
For at least the last three years, we have held the meeting at “The Wiz” Restaurant in Batesburg. This has been a good location, even if a little distant. Unfortunately, and for whatever reason, many of our members have elected not to participate.
At its last meeting, the Board approved a new concept: we will have a meal catered by Shealy’s Bar-B-Que in one of the Whiteplains hangars. For 2007, Ken and Peg will host it in their hangar (which has central heat, by the way… no need to bundle up). The cost will be $13 or $14 for adults (depending on turnout) and $5 for children ages 4-11. The menu will be the same as in Shealy’s Restaurant: all-you-can-eat pork BBQ, fried chicken, rice/hash, vegetables, coleslaw, rolls, sweet tea and dessert. If you want something other than sweet tea, you are welcome to bring the beverage of your choice. (Note: This is not free.... $$ collected when you enter serving line.)
A “social hour” will begin at about 6:15 PM, with dinner served at 7:00 PM. After dinner, there will be a brief “official meeting,” including a review of the community’s 2006 activities and accomplishments, and the announcement of the results of the election for the two vacancies on the Board of Directors. You are welcome to stay and socialize with your neighbors after that for as long as you wish.
Since we have to give the caterer a firm “head count” in advance, please reply by phone or to this e-mail. If we do not hear from you, a neighborhood volunteer will be phoning all of our South Carolina property owners about a week in advance. We will assume that out-of-state property owners will not be attending unless you tell us otherwise. We will be billed against this head count, so please don’t say that you’re coming if you aren’t!
Your Board of Directors is looking forward to a big turnout for this opportunity to meet new neighbors, reacquaint ourselves with others, and celebrate the continuing success of the best aviation community on the East Coast. See you there!

New Beacon Up and Running
Many hours of labor have resulted in the installation of a non-obtrusive beacon that now operates on top of the Elam Tower. The beacon was the dream of Ray Elam who lost his life in a plane crash on April 11, 2003. Ray was the former owner of the hangar now owned by the Keislers. The beacon can be activated by a pilot approaching Whiteplains from up to 7 to 10 miles away and will help pin point the field which can be difficult to locate at night. Thanks to the vision of the Whiteplains Pilot's Association and the Board , our small, private airport now has two safety features usually found only at much larger, public fields - a VASI system and a locator beacon. There is no price that can be placed upon the safe landing of our neighbors and friends and we thank all who had a part in the completion of these devices.
As a result of the installation of the beacon , the American Flag and the Whiteplains flag (SC99) now have new hardware as well as illuminating lights for night time viewing. Once again, Whiteplains raises the bar, maintaining its position as the classiest airpark in South Carolina.
