Throughout the past month, I have visited a dozen states, attending several events. I appreciate the positive, enthusiastic attitude expressed by nearly with whom I spoke.
Has your club completed its’ plans for the summer events? Planning, obtaining sanctions, advertising, etc. take time. Waiting until the last minute nearly always generates mediocre effort. If you need assistance, why not contact your AMA district vice president or one of the many associate vice presidents?
Registration for the 2014 National Model Aviation Day is now available on the AMA website. Mark your calendars now for August 16, 2014, to host or attend an event near you.
Last year during National Model Aviation Day events, AMA clubs raised $76,000 to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. We garnered several state proclamations and received outstanding media attention throughout the country in recognition of these events.
We want to continue to continue to build National Model Aviation Day, raise awareness for the hobby, and benefit a great charity that provides necessary programs for our wounded veterans. If August 16 is a problem, please consider a date that will work for your club.
This year, we are also providing businesses and organizations with the opportunity to reach the entire aeromodeling community through sponsorships of National Model Aviation Day. Sponsors will receive many benefits and will assist in our efforts to make National Model Aviation Day a nationally recognized annual celebration.
Also new for 2014, we will be offering National Model Aviation Day T-shirts in the AMA online store. Not only are the shirts great to have for your events, but the proceeds from the sales will also go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
More information about sponsorship opportunities, the new T-shirts, and the benefits of participating in National Model Aviation Day can be found at www.nationalmodelaviationday.org.
