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

Sounds like the Doc has come up with a win/win proposition.
- Guys that don't want MA save 9 bucks
- Doc gets mags to donate at a further discounted price, $9 vs. $12 he currently pays
- AMA gains by saving the incremental cost of not printing/mailing some
TBD number of copies
Now this interesting condition:
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.

As AMA doesn't pay taxes the deductions are of no value to them.
Does the good Doc take tax deductions for donations made from his D-8 expense account as he seems to be saying?
I don't have D Holland's accounting credentials, but it looks like a helluva good deal for the Doc, too.
