Right, in my pocket, $45K would go a long way. But to the AMA it is pocket lint.
It would go a long way to helping provide that "Foundation" they are about to get set up. For years I pushed for AMA to follow that plan, a Foundation for the 501 (c) (3) 0peration and then a C Corp to provide lobby services for model aviation. I was ridiculed and laughed at. Now comes an election that brought in a new President after a sitting President takes over the Paid Position of Executive Director. Then a new President comes from the EC VP position and beats out the one individual that everyone I know thought was a shoo-in, for the presidency, especially me. That AMA election, combined with the fact that the election was the first in-house vote count since sometime in the mid-'80s, smells almost as much as another recent election, just not nearly as big.
Anyway, I need a membership card to prove my AMA membership to my club. Since, they have the only usable flying field, for my kind of flying, that is, I am kinda stuck.
So how about some alternative AMA membership proof for us members who actually need proof of membership?
If you are an AMA member, you have an AMA Member Card . One card is standard. Why do you need two? If you lose one, you can always make another by PAYING for one. OTOH, Since You have already have one simply copy it both sides, lay them back to back, between two sheets of
clear tape, trim it up and you have two. So easy to do. Use a little thought process and you have another proof of membership. Ningun necisitar alternativa.
