Hi Horrace,

I didn't think about the charter ending in March 2004. so we would be ok until then since we still have 13 members, this gives me a few months left to try to reorganize. I got a PM from a guy by here that says his club can help in trying to persuade our rouge members from leaving since a few of them end up at his field, he even suggested incorporating our club into his club and list our private site as an alternate site and to keep the dues down even more since the membership will increase quite a bit. This will also help out since he has a few members that can take the time to work out any AMA issues. Everyone in my club is working, looking for work, or supporting young families or all the above.

Back to the original subject, I was using TOC as an example to get public support for AMA since it is a very exciting event. I also used examples of AMA getting involved with Reno and Oshkosh or anything else that is aviation / public related. I feel that there is a big void in public relations if the time comes that we need support in keeping frequencies, or worse yet, rights to fly period.
