District I - 2011/05
I AM WRITING this column as winter
comes to a welcome end. The snow is finally
melting away, providing access to flying
sites for the start of our 2011 flying season.
AMA News: District I-2007/04
IN ADDITION to aeromodeling flying
events that are open for public attendance,
AMA clubs need to collaborate with other
activities to promote the sport of
aeromodeling. Consider setting up model
airplane exhibits at malls, flea markets, trade
shows, festivals, air shows, and other
activities that offer exhibitor space.
AMA News District I - 2009/03
ON THURSDAY morning, January 9, Les
Watson, Steve Brehm, and I flew to Las
Vegas, Nevada, for a one-hour layover.
Needless to say, we each left $20 in coins in
the airport slot machines before our
connecting flight to Ontario, California, to
attend the AMA Expo on Friday and
Saturday, and the Executive Council (EC)
meeting on Sunday. We arrived in Ontario at
2 p.m., leaving us enough time to check out
the progress of the exhibitors who were
setting up for the Expo.

WHAT MAKES an AMA club great? The
answer is the few—as I like to call them—
“special members” who give their time to
address the challenges and issues that face
their club with a positive attitude and a
determination to do whatever it takes to
make their club the very best it can be.
District I - 2008/07
EACH YEAR the district officers and I try
to sponsor a variety of popular flying events
including at least one open-class fun-fly and
air show and two or more specialty events.
