city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model

evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So

city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read

evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

Illinois DOT help us problem contacted Geoff Tower Hobbies started calling spree clubs throughout state Goldberg began calling state officials As contacted clubs started calling officials made myself available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model

AMA its activities leaves loss words times wee facing months until issue came up Illinois changed story Im about tell may have ripples holes hut Ive tried put together bits pieces picked up event evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday before vote possibly go senate Monday Geoff Styles kept telephone lines busy AMA Headquarters hoping get folks Tower Hobbies Hobbico Goldberg lawyers senators knew Illinois friend aviation section Illinois DOT help us problem contacted Geoff Tower Hobbies started calling spree clubs throughout state Goldberg began calling state officials As contacted clubs started calling officials made myself available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model

city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

Illinois DOT help us problem contacted Geoff Tower Hobbies started calling spree clubs throughout state Goldberg began calling state officials As contacted clubs started calling officials made myself available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model

evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So

city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read

evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday

Illinois DOT help us problem contacted Geoff Tower Hobbies started calling spree clubs throughout state Goldberg began calling state officials As contacted clubs started calling officials made myself available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model

evolved Please bear detect glitch plot After getting lot information sources very short period time room error gist story will valid few years back club Illinois lost its flying site years because city felt no longer safe club fly Since club worked well city past city gave new flying site another park club members promised would have flying site years spirits anew club decided build first-class flying site After having invested some dollars new site club faced new dilemma nearby resident started complaining about club city short order club looking new field again Little did club know houses nearby belonged influential people Fortunately club able get its investments back city after legal action against city club well Rapport lost feelings hurt Until recently memory serves club has no flying site has flown sites neighboring towns Finally site became available Located near gravel pit operating two shifts site promising because noise would problem Besides club done some community service nearby town felt its sideThe club decided buy site very good price failed savings loan Having shown county board bad condition land what intended clubs use site approved contrary wishes some town residents opposed model airplane clubs being near town change town Rumor has another bid site foiled club may have contributed some bad press agalnat club Seems fishy local newspaper helping read articles newspaper always got feeling newspaper very negative toward club Now story gets real scary Since group opposing flying site could get no relief local officials petition gathered community ban club city state representative community used position take pleas local community higher level able tack amendment motherhood bill already passed state senate vote new amendment easily passed through state house its way senate floor speedy approval went well amendment short engine-powered model airplane flying would end within mile municipality residence school etc waived county population 300K Smaller counties less 300K residents could waive amendment 3/5 vote local officials Wow caught Illinois clubs would have battle hands retain sites Somehow AMA Headquarters learned amendment Friday before vote possibly go senate Monday Geoff Styles kept telephone lines busy AMA Headquarters hoping get folks Tower Hobbies Hobbico Goldberg lawyers senators knew Illinois friend aviation section Illinois DOT help us problem contacted Geoff Tower Hobbies started calling spree clubs throughout state Goldberg began calling state officials As contacted clubs started calling officials made myself available focal point clubs gave advice got information campaign mushroomed quickly Im sure earned attention state representatives no idea what going see clubs telephones ringing off walls As weekend ended representatives knew good deal about amendment As Monday first battle won member called inform senate vote turned amendment back What next phase issue known time Im sure representative did dirty work has second thoughts about issue After Im sure thought doing right thing community learned power AMA its associated industry friends its membership hoping will have enough sense let amendment die let local community what necessary rectify problem town has appeal process protestors can use stop clubs use site should have used first place fails power vote always available election time event cost much time money us Tower Hobbies example out pocket phone calls employees made calls throughout weekend Geoff spent hours going after much support could get spent time clubs made attack Club members out-of-pocket calls representatives did happen As best us can tell club just didnt well enough keep residents its side As well aware common problem clubs Now can see what can happen problem allowed go too far clubs affair town folks knew ropes power get things done What made matters worse newspaper side Its hard club fight kind circulation misinformation Hopefully club has learned So think weve won Please dont let draw back complacency thing can happen own community well did folks Think lucky affair amendment would law law could have springboard could used across country end model
