<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, this is the "renew your membership or else"
notice. However, this medium is the best way for me (VP, dist. 6) to reach
the greatest amount of members and potential new NSRCA
members.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I write this note though with more of a
thought of thanks and appreciation. Thanks to those that have been members
forever. Without you we certainly wouldn't be here and despite the ups and
downs (economy, personal schedules, changes to the NSRCA for better or
worse) you simply renew every year. Thanks to those who I know in
recent years have given large sums of money to help both the NSRCA and the US
F3A Team. This is a handful (big handful) of people that have given
without significant recognition but have seriously impacted the success of the
NSRCA and the Team. Thanks to those that run the local contests year after
year and some cases, two times a year. I am proud that in Dist. 6 (and
likely in all other districts) all of the Contest Directors are members of the
NSRCA. The contribution of their time is a big one (just ask a CD:) and
more importantly, having the contest/s on the schedule year after year
makes is possible to attract new members in their area as well as publicly
promote Precision Flying which really does improve the image of
our sport. Thanks to the board of the NSRCA who have finished the
year well in the black. This is a feat considering what a rough
year it was economically as well as helping in the fund raising and direct
NSRCA donation ($1000) to the US Team and the continued publication of a monthly
K-Factor. There have been great NSRCA board's in the past, but these guys
(not me:) are one of the best. And thanks to those who understand,
who get it, and join.</FONT></DIV>
