Here's my fun idea for the day.  I could probably make this 2x larger with another 15min, but that wouldn't be fun. Feel free to add.

The NSRCA is a volunteer group made up of officers, district VPs, and members.  Although elected, the officers and VPs are not paid and, like the members, volunteer their time for this hobby.  Here's what I get for my $40 and what I didn't get:

Delivered:
New and continually updated sequences to fly
Competition rules and critical rule interpretations
The Nats and banquet
A web site with lots of related info
District championships coordinated
Monthly columns written that report local and national information
How-to articles in the KF that are not to be found in non-pattern sport RC mags
Discussion of new products that apply to the hobby in the KF written by people that actually compete
A discussion list and archive of many more gems of related information
A national organization to share what works/doesn't to promote the hobby
MA column
Support for sportsman primers
Officers and VPs that deal with many small member issues and many governance issues
A consistent contest calendar
Promotion of the sport at the Grand Event, AMA convention, Toledo show, etc. etc.
A video segment inthe AMA DVD collection

What got started but faltered due to lack of volunteers:
Roving Nats location 
Updated judging video
New advertisers in KF and on web site
Major Promotions, like D3's sportman winner getting a 2m plane
