There is a trend of positive changes at the AMA and Model Aviation. It's not too late to have our voices heard! At a dynamic time like this, any of you non-AMA fellers can speak up about what would make you consider joining. Now, we know that a reduced rate would be nice. And much like cutting taxes, it would likely increase membership and revenue. But, also like cutting taxes, it would be nearly impossible. So let's work on the assumption that the dues will remain static. We all know that AMA reps are actively watching this forum. Keep it positive and you will probably get listened too. But by all means, speak up!

Would you like to know what the AMA does by communication through the magazine and website?
What kind of programs would make you feel like a part of something good?

I'll start it off. I'd like to see more communication from the high levels through the magazine. Any person involved in a new project (or old for that matter) should write an article. Be it short or long, just write something.

It's probably ok to tell you the Dave Mathewson wrote me back yesterday. He is involved in many new things, but I won't talk about it. It's his right to announce these things as they become viable projects. But, it looks like I'm a convert. He's a well spoken and polite man. Mostly, he seems very optimistic. Watch out! It's infectious! He's also the reason I started this thread. I'm curious whether the new projects will be filling the desires of the members and nonmembers.
