District X - 2010/11
Member Photos
I have added a new Member Photos section to the District X website. Pictures can be of anything hobby-related — it doesn't matter. If you like it, we will too.
Don't worry about the size; we will most likely have to shrink and/or crop images anyway. Please send them in as large a format as you can. A caption should be sent with each picture, because we all want to know who's in it, what the airplane is, etc. Write as much or as little as you like, but include at least a brief caption to go under the photo.
Webmaster Jon Wilson and I have put a few examples on the website for you to check out. They will be seen first as smaller pictures, but when you click on a picture you will get it at its full saved size.
I hope the members of District X like the new page and take advantage of it. It's just one more thing we can offer — a place to share your memories.
- Please visit www.ama10.org to check it out.
- Send your pictures to me or directly to Jon Wilson, our webmaster. Either one of us will see that your picture gets posted as soon as possible.
Honoring a Modeler
I am asked once in a while where a modeler can be honored. This is the perfect way to honor a fallen flying friend. Send a picture of him or her alone or with his or her favorite airplane. Include a brief description of the person's contribution to modeling or the club, or simply note that he or she was a good person or a good friend.
Gold Leader Club Award — Coachella Valley RC Club
On Sunday, August 8, District X Associate Vice President Jerry Neuberger presented the five-year Gold Leader Club award to the Coachella Valley RC Club.
Coachella Valley RC is one of the oldest continually operating clubs in District X, in existence for 38 years. The club's current location is on a California Department of Reclamation flood plain that was given to the county Parks and Recreation Department specifically for the development of an RC flying field.
Coachella Valley RC secured a 25-year lease with the option for a 25-year renewal, and the flood-plain designation ensures the area will never be developed. The members have built a first-class flying site, are very active in the community, and are well deserving of the Gold Leader Club award.
Voting Reminder
As a District X AMA member, you have the right to vote. Ballots are sent directly to your door; all you have to do is mark the box next to the candidate you support and mail the ballot to AMA's auditors using the pre-addressed envelope. Do not mail it to AMA Headquarters.
Let's make this the highest percentage of voters to participate ever — let's all vote!
