AMA News: District V - 2008/02
I want to thank everyone who took the time to fill out a ballot and vote for me. I appreciate your support and will do my best to continue to represent you to the AMA nationally.
I have a large area to cover and some great associate vice presidents (AVPs) who work with me. Please give these individuals your support as well — they love model airplanes, and that is why they are doing what they do.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Dave Mathewson on his election as AMA president. I have had the pleasure of sitting next to Dave at Executive Council meetings during the past three years, and I have learned a lot from him. He is hardworking and always looking to improve AMA and its services to the membership.
I have great hopes that we can make many good things come to pass.
Local club and Fly-In
After I moved to Brunswick, Georgia, I had to get plugged into a local club. It took a while to get everything situated so that I could enjoy flying again.
When I did, I found a great group of modelers in the Coastal Planes R/C Club. They are a small group, but they are big on fun — isn't that what it is all about?
The club held its second annual Fly-In on November 17, and I was happy to attend and take part. Overall, it was a successful event and shows that even a small club can organize and host a great fly-in. All it takes is teamwork.
I am proud to be associated with this group, and I'm looking forward to many fun days at the field together in 2008.
