Gold has represented greatness throughout history, and today is no exception. It is an accomplishment for any club to become an AMA Gold Leader Club. To receive this honor for five, 10, or more years in a row is an outstanding achievement.
This year, the Central Carolina R/C Modelers (CCRC) of High Point, North Carolina, received its 10-year Gold Leader Club honors—one of only 10 clubs across the country to receive this honor. Congratulations to CCRC.
Report from Jack Stites
Members of the Radio Control Modelers of Baltimore were happy to have Randy Elliot, associate vice president (AVP) of District IV, represent AMA at the rededication of our newly remodeled and expanded facilities. We were thrilled when he presented us with a check from the AMA for $3,328.42, which was 10% of the cost of our major improvements. The AMA gave us the funds in the form of a Flying Site Development/Improvement grant for which we applied. Our total cost was $33,284.42.
Our club, which was formed in the 1950s, believes in and supports the AMA. As president, I want to thank our District IV vice president, Bliss Teague, and my wife, Sara, for guiding our group through this grant-application process.
Our organization is an active Gold Leader Club that reaches out to the area through the Civil Air Patrol, Boy and Girl Scouts, local veterans' groups, and colleges. We have three club training airplanes in our small hangar and 20 instructors to give people firsthand experience in flying RC.
At the recent WRAM show in New Jersey, we thanked Dave Mathewson and Gary Fitch of the AMA and showed them some pictures of our field improvements.
