DAYS, MONTHS, AND YEARS seem to
be passing much too quickly. Each time I
write this column, it feels as though I just
finished the previous one. An entire month
couldn’t have gone by so quickly!
The 2004 Membership Manual is on its
way. This year the manual will be
incorporated into the August issue of
Model Aviation, which you will receive in
June.
If you need information that is
contained in the manual before you
receive your copy, please go to the AMA
Web site for the 2004 version. The
document is in PDF format and the direct
URL is www.modelaircraft.org/templates/
ama/PDF-files/memanual04.pdf.
Chartered club renewal is quite heavy as
I write this column, but by the time you
read this, all clubs that have renewed their
club charters should have been processed.
The new 2004 charter information will
have been mailed to the club contact
person.
If this is not the case, please contact
Lois Pierce, club secretary, at
[email protected] or call (800) 435-
9262, extension 291.
Does your club have a training program
that helps beginners achieve solo flight?
Your club can present a trainee with an
AMA Solo Certificate when the beginner
completes the club training program and
solo flight.
These attractive, full-color certificates
are available for $1 each. For more
information please contact Erin Dobbs,
programs coordinator, at (765) 287-1256,
extension 272, or E-mail her at
[email protected].
In addition to these certificates, AMA
has an extensive merchandise department
that offers plaques, T-shirts, hats, etc. All
items are reasonably priced and
comparable to other companies.
Remember, when you order from AMA
merchandise, whether it is a custom
product or out of the catalog, it benefits
you as a member by creating non-dues
revenue. Try us out; I think you will be
pleased. MA
