- For any AMA club to retain it's charter it must sponsor a defined number of annual events. T
- Events like a Fun Fly, a mall show, a swap meet, a contest, something to grow interest and advertised locally.
- The club must conduct one or more educational out reach events. It could be demonstrations for schools, scouting, churches or public libraries.
- To be president of a club, you need to submit a plan for annual events.
- Retention as president by the club members will be determined by the execution of these events and their quality.
- The AMA could discount annual dues for any member soliciting new membership. Bring in a new member, take $10 off.
- Finally, a TV advertisement with a more recognizable spokesman.
