Because my club and the ones I fly at require it. I'm glad your happy with the "services" . I don't want the magazine nor the Muncie site. Since I pay dues and am a member of this organization I have the right to have a say how OUR money is spent. I'm sure there is a lot of waste( as in any organization). You posted earlier that you would not support the AMA funding local sites. Seems like that should be one of the "services".
