F3A Team Funding

[Michael Ramsey]

Earl:

Your message has left me feeling inspired, so I'll step up he. 

We have an Airtronics 8000 radio system that was generously donated to the RAMAC club as a prize for the Pocono Precision Aerobatics Contest this coming June 28-29. I was thinking about having a raffle in order to generate more revenue for the club. 

What I think we'll do instead is have the raffle, only the revenue will be turned over to our F3A Team. That ought to help!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Sincerely,

Michael Ramsey, Contest Director

  There's a long thread ongoing regarding AMA's coverage of the F3A Team Selection Finals and pattern in general. Please be aware that AMA provides a portion of the funds needed to support the Team, usually around $8,000. 

  More importantly, as it takes $10,000 + more to fund the Team. I urge that each of you promote club / individual donations. Your club has received a letter soliciting funds by now, please encourage your club officers to present it at a club meeting for consideration.

  I'm proud to tell you that one of the clubs that Andre' Bouchard and I belong to, the Fort Bend R/C Club (near Houston, TX) chose to donate $400 from the treasury and collected another $150 from members at the last meeting to support the Team.  Andre' and I are two of three pattern flyers in the club.
