Default RE: Note to AMA EC regarding Model Aviation

Now here is a deal for all those that don't want Model Aviation and get a reduction in their dues.

Posted by Dr. Sandy Frank, AMA VP D-VIII on the D-VIII e-mail group. NOTE, THIS OFFER IS GOOD ONLY FOR THOSE MEMBERS RESIDING IN DISTRICT VIII.

Dr. Sandy Frank has posted this most generous offer on the D-VIII e-mail list:

Hello, All,

With RED and some others that he has stirred up on the internet
contacting many on the AMA EC &
begging them to CANCEL their subscription to MA..
and give them a DISCOUNT !!!

I am prepaired to DO JUST THAT !!!

As District VIII VP I purchase at regular library discount rates

(and pay out of district funds)

several subscriptions to MA each year to donate to schools and libraries...

MY cost that I pay to AMA is $ 12.00 per year... (that is the library rate that
any library or school can request)

so what a better time than 1/1/2005

to institute REDS proposal...

I am willing to offer to repurchase the rights ((to any member who lives

in AMA DISTRICT VIII ( TX, NM, OK, AR or LA)) for their MODEL AVIATION SUBSCRIPTION for 2005.

Please contact ME directly and personally about this... ( [email protected] )

I will need your permission in writing and once that the address is changed for the magizine

to a location of my choosing...I will send to that person a CHECK for $ 9.00 USA funds...

I will retain any and all tax deductions for any and all repurchased donations to libraries and/or schools..

( the seller will give up all of their rights to their 2005 MA subscription...and deductions )

If you are serious I am serious also !!!

Best regards.

For the record: I suggested that the AMA EC look into making the receipt of MA optional since there appear to be a number of members that don't want it and would rather have a decrease in their dues. I have no intention of giving up MY MODEL AVIATION for ANY reduction in my dues. So to those that have been shooting off your mouths about the crappy magazine you are "forced" to take here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. DR. FRANK'S OFFER IS GOOD ONLY FOR THOSE LIVING IN HIS DISTRICT!
