Hey Chad;

I actually enjoyed your last few postings. No kidding.

You put some thought into these ones. You went to a credible source for some stats, and put forth a decent argument.

It would be interesting to see current numbers and financial breakdowns.

It would be interesting to have the current line-by-line breakdowns to compare to the last ones I had posted at MBZ and compare to the projected numbers that were posted there as well.

.......it would be nice to NOT get into the o'l FAI/sport thing right now.

Ken is correct in the fact that the awareness of the membership and MAAC business is growing. Whether it frightens folks away from the politics or sparks an interest remains to be seen. However, prior to my election, the ZD's job in our zone was left to the dummy who stood up at the meeting and now, after a fews years of enlightening (and stirring the pot) we regularly have some kind of a competition with the end result being Jeff Esslinger, who has been embraced by all the clubs with any political interest. The bar for the ZD keeping all clubs informed on flying and politics has been raised. Hopefully when Jeff moves on, the trend will continue.
