An open house was held to encourage participation. The Red Sleighs Over Montana project focused on children for distribution of gifts. On Memorial Day, the Museum hosted several veterans and their spouses with flights in Miss Montana which culminated in a low pass over the Montana State Veterans' Cemetery in Missoula.The Museum hosted the Marine Corps Ball. In May, Miss Montana was named the State's Airplane during a ceremony in the Museum. The Governor made the presentation and founders Charles Komberec and Kathy Ogren were inducted into the Museum's Hall of Fame. Miss Montana attended the 75th Anniversary of the Twin Falls, Idaho, airport. Miss Montana and crew also visited Choteau and McCall, Idaho airports for the 80th Smokejumpers' anniversary. Lewiston, Idaho was also visited by Miss Montana and crew. The Museum of Mountain Flying & Fishing Camp, organized by Kaye Ebelt was held in July for students who learned about how to identify fish, fishing regulations, construction of a fishing pole, etc., as well as aspects of aviation. The camp was funded through registration fees. Miss Montana and crew attended the Billings Air Show at which the Navy's Blue Angels appeared. An appearance by Miss Montana at the Polson, Montana library also helped the library raise $50,000.In recognition of the passing of founder and board member Charles Komberec, the High Flight Scholarship was created through the Museum to finance a student pilot each year as funds are available. For the fourth year the museum gathered toys, clothing, blankets and other necessities and distributed them to rural communities where families in need had been identified. Several Santa and elf volunteers traveled by plane, helicopter or car to deliver the gifts, which brightened many children's Christmas. 96522 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false X BARBARA KOMBEREC 4065525433 PO BOX 16601 MISSOULA MT 59808 X KATHY OGREN Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC KOMBEREC President 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES R KOMBEREC Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM PAULLIN Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK COLLINS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 95823 95823 ADMISSIONS 712110 1600 1600 Membership Dues & Assessments 900099 2434 2434 4034 315 315 0 0 5900 5900 5900 5900 0 0 0 36922 18907 18015 18015 MISC/REFUNDS 0 124087 22049 6215 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2115 2115 0 0 0 1548 1548 276 276 1146 129 1017 0 0 23391 23391 0 0 0 9002 9002 0 20716 20716 20071 20071 FUEL 16669 16669 AIRPLANE EXPENSES 10063 10063 FEES 1760 1760 TAXES & LICENSES 1290 1290 3447 3447 111494 96522 14972 0 82537 109185 69137 69878 0 0 0 0 0 4695 12421 0 1319770 440935 896751 878835 0 0 0 0 0 1053120 1070319 121447 121053 5000 121447 126053 X 931673 944266 931673 944266 1053120 1070319 12593 X false false false X 369593 46203 185133 71026 95823 767778 143203 29590 49305 29236 46856 298190 0 0 0 512796 75793 234438 100262 142679 1065968 5238 5238 0 5238 5238 1060730 598 299 394 385 315 1991 0 598 299 394 385 315 1991 0 4859 600 206 5665 518253 76692 235038 100647 142994 1073624 0.98800 0.97340 0.00190 0.00430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19000 19000 796134 353856 442278 6190 898 5292 88421 86181 2240 410025 410025 878835 HANGAR DEPOSIT 5000 5000 Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.
