AMA News: District IV-2007/03
I attended the Charlotte Aeromodelers' Cub Scout Day on August 5, 2006. Activities such as this are important as outreach programs in the community and equally important to the club membership and club sustainability. John Metcalf, 2006 club president, wrote about the event:
"We had more than 90 Scouts, leaders, parents, and club members by the end of the day. We received more than $800 in donations to help make the event a success. Donations came from Warco Construction, Korben Homes, SIG Manufacturing, KC Hobbies, and the Charlotte Aeromodelers.
"Steve Hudson, a longtime member of the club, was instrumental in planning and organizing this event, and without the support of club members who donated their time and energy it would not have been successful.
"The feedback we received from the Scouts, their leaders, and their parents was tremendous. From their perspective, the event exceeded their expectations. We will put this on our annual August calendar as a standing activity."
Central Carolina R/C Club
The Central Carolina R/C Club was presented with a District IV flag at the AMA membership meeting held during the 2006 Joe Nall event. With a membership of approximately 120, the club received the honor for having attained Gold Leader Club status for the past five years.
The club is located in the Triad area of North Carolina, south of High Point. Club interests include:
- Sailplanes
- Electrics
- Sport models
- Helicopters
- Giant scale aircraft
The Gold Leader Club plaque from AMA was awarded to the club at its annual open house, where the flag was again presented.
Until next time, take a kid flying.
