[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA Nats shirts for sale

Tue Jun 28 06:00:03 AKDT 2011

Sorry...the Team USA website does at least list the sponsors/donors of the 
auction planes in small print, but no logos/ads or links to their 
sites....Richard

Derek,

You mention many organinzations that have provided some level of sponsorship 
below.  However, if I look at the AMA's F3A WC website, there are zero sponsors 
listed anywhere...The AMA site even has a link to directing you to an empty 
sponsors page....

I know that this is likely nothing that you have any direct influence on, 
but...perhaps you know who to point this out to for review.....

Same is true for the USA Team website...

Richard

We've (AMA) been able to negotiate better room rates for judges/jury members 
since those are paid for primarily out of contestant entry fees.  No one else 
locally is in much of a "giving" mood.   

Now, having said that... we've received some great sponsorship from a number of 
RC vendors such as Hobbico, Futaba, Horizon, ThunderPower, Hacker USA 
(Aero-Model Inc.), F3A Unlimited, Tru-Turn, CA Models, Morgan Fuels, YS Parts & 
Service, TechStyles, etc... I know I'm probably forgetting some others (and I 
apologize).

Has there been much solicitation of businesses in the Muncie area?  I have to 
believe we're filling hotels and restaurants for that 2 week period and 
providing a small boom to their economy.  I would think there would be some 
donations to be had from the industries that benefit the most.  All those hotels 
on McGalliard, the restaurants, etc.   Seems like soliciting them could go a 
long way though I realize that takes effort that would have to come from the 
locals at AMA.
