We have a new pattern pilot that is running for District X VP - he lost by 34 votes last year to the incumbent who has since passed away.  For those of you in AMA District X - his name is Lawrence Tougas and is a great guy!  Please support him in his endeavor to be the District X VP.  He'll do a great job - much better than the one being done by the "appointed" successor.

Unfortunately, Tony is and (soon was) the only active competition pilot on the AMA Executive Council.  Well, sotra active or maybe semi retired or maybe "sure would like to but haven't done it lately" Pattern pilot.  Good luck Tony!

Now we've got to elect another competition pilot to the Executive Council.   AMA D-3 did its part, so why don't one or more districts get rid of the dinosaur who's your VP and help out R/C aerobatics within the AMA Executive Council?

Tony -
Congratulations, I think!  I'm sure you have given this a lot of thought, and are doing what's best for you and your family.  When Jim told me this I about fell off my chair - You are perfect for the position, I look forward to working together, and the pattern community will have another guy on the "inside".....!

Hi!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be stepping down as AMA District V Vice-President as of June 1st, 2010.  AVP Jose Soto will be taking my place as interim Vice-President.  Jose will fill out the rest of 2010.  Elections for District V Vice-President will be held in the fall of 2010.

The reason I am stepping down is because I have accepted the position of AMA Flying Site Assistance Coordinator.  This is a Contract Employee position with the AMA, and as such, I cannot be a paid AMA employee and serve on the AMA Executive Council.

I have greatly enjoyed my time as District V Vice-President.  It was a huge task to bring District V up to the 21st Century.  The district was in terrible shape when I took office, and I have worked to bring about active AVP’s who are serving the membership.  I have been available on the phone and via e-mail to all the members.  I have tried my best to represent District V at the Executive Council meetings in Muncie , IN.

I will miss the opportunities to visit with clubs, as I have only made a small dent my list of those that I wanted to visit.  I had plans to work up the Georgia coast and into South Carolina this summer and fall.  However, I have enjoyed meeting with all the clubs and members over the last 5 ½ years.  As I move into a new area of service to AMA, I hope to improve on how AMA can assist clubs in retaining the flying sites that they currently have, as well as assist those in the search for new sites.

I hope you will support Jose in the same way that you have supported me.  Jose is a hard worker, a club president and family man.  I think he will hit the ground running and move District 5 forward.  I will continue to work with District 5 as one of Jose’s AVP’s, so I will still be around.

I am heading out to the Joe Nall Fly-In in a few minutes, so if you get a chance, come by the AMA tent and say HI!  The Annual AMA membership meeting will be held at the Joe Nall on Thursday at 6PM at the hanger.  Free food, and just about 1 hour of AMA business and information dissemination.  I hope to see you there!

Fly High!

Tony Stillman

AMA District V Vice-President
