Late-breaking news from Headquarters
No Executive Director's Column
Because of moving the AMA Headquarters operation in March, Executive Director Joyce Hager's column, "View from HQ," will resume in the July 2001 issue. MA
AMA Membership Benefit
Through the Outlook Vision program, which AMA promotes to members, one can reduce the cost of eyewear purchases, saving out-of-pocket money.
One member reported, "I saved $68.25 on my new eyeglasses over what my company's group health insurance paid. Since my wife also got new glasses, there was an additional savings of $73.75.
"The Outlook Vision discount card costs $6.95 a year. When you subtract that minimal cost from the total savings, I ended up with $135.05 in my pocket. That is at least worth two free AMA memberships. Thanks, AMA, for the added value of AMA membership!"
The card application is available on the AMA Web site, www.modelaircraft.org, under "Membership Services." Click on "AMA Documents in PDF Format" and print document number 502. MA

Corrections
- An error was published on page 109 in Stan Alexander's May 2001 "RC Scale" column. Roy Vaillancourt draws all of his own plans for Scale modelers.
- An incorrect Web site address was listed on page 68 in the sidebar of Alex Morton's May article, "Don't Quit the Greatest Sport on Earth." The correct address for Dick Miller's Web site is www.empsinc.com/modata.html.
We apologize for the errors.
