Mr. Bowles:

In response to your request I want to submit the following.

When an established sanctioned club encounters pressure from the surrounding community to close and relocate the flying field because the community has encroached upon the flying field, I would like to see the AMA get involved with the club and community leaders to see if a way could be found to mitigate the loss/damage to the club.

I would like to see the AMA get involved with newly established community governments to assist the clubs in educating the community leaders in the fact that soccor and softball are not the only sports around. And that a large number of the people paying the taxes for the school sports fields are the same ones flying model aircraft.

I would like to see the AMA devote some of the members paid resources in educating the general public with regard to model aircraft flight operations.

I would like to see the AMA assist in the development of literature that could be provided to public schools that illustrates the vast areas of knowledge, education, and career opportunities that can be opened up due to model aviation.

Just a few thoughts on the subject.
