Good questions all, Eddie. In the first place, the Team petitioned the NSRCA
directly, and got $1000 up front. Secondly, we will be having an auction of
donated items at the NATS. So, I guess we felt it would be poor form to ask
the individual members for cash over and above this.... but we're not too
proud to take it;) Please join into the auction, BTW!
We also petitioned every AMA RC club, and got some that way. You know, we
don't think of it much; but to get to the WC's, each of these guys has flown a
LOT. Sure, they're sponsored by Futaba, JR, or Airtronics; Morgan Fuel, YS,
OS, Hacker, etc. But it still brings a lot of money out of their own
pockets to get to the place that they can MAKE the Team. Then there's the vacation
time; they've used it all just qualifying. We embark August 15 for Paris.
Bryan Hebert's (and my) job is taking care of the details so they can
concentrate on flying. We want an American to stand at the top of the awards
podium, and an American Team to get the Team gold. It's called patriotism; and
it's not a dirty word! More than that, when we expend the effort to further
the interests of the few, we lift the pool of ability that they're drawn from
(that's guys like us). We're just coming up a little short. Plane fares alone
cost almost $10,000. Then there's the vans in Paris at $1000 per week (3).
Motels, eats, you can see the picture. We still need another $8000, minimum.
Anyway; to donate to the AMA for tax purposes, send it to the AMA earmarked
FAI Team Fund. Make sure you send us your address so we can get the T's to
you.

I'd like the same order. I Golf shirt & 1 T-shirt OR 2 T-shirts ( all
XXL).
Also I spoke to Bryan Hebert at the Nederland contest about how to make a
donation to the team and he said there was a way to do it through the AMA that
would be tax deductible. I haven't seen this info on the list NOR have I
seen a post just asking for donations. Is there a problem ( reason not to) with
posting this info on the NSRCA site & referencing it to all lists to get the
word out. If all NSRCA ( and a few AMA) members made a small donation it
would add up to a sizable amount of money <G>
I get hit up on a daily basis( here at work) from people wanting me to
donate money for everything from sending little susie to ball camp, beauty pagent
,etc,to real benefits for families who've suffered trajedy in there lives. I
don't see a problem with those involved in the team just outright asking for
donations. Maybe this happens at the Nats (don't know , haven't been there
yet!) and I'm out of line ( if so please excuse this message).
Just wondering out loud( in print)
Eddie
