This looks alot like the legislation by congress, just full of pork with a few bones for the constituency while we make ourselves comfy. What is the hostess for? And the car?

AMA Seeking Volunteer Host/Hostess
(Added 5/4/07)
The Academy is reaching out to membership in a new way in 2007! Keeping watch over the 1,100-acre International Flying Site in Muncie Indiana, is a formidable task. Borrowing a very successful page from the National Park Service and many state park programs, the Academy is seeking retired volunteer couples to participate in our volunteer program as flying site hosts.
Requirements for this position are very simple:
Most (sic) possess a love of all aspects of model aviation. (Really, I copied it -- I do not know what "Most possess..." means)
Own an RV suitable for 30-day stays.
Have outstanding people skills and a willingness to represent the AMA in a positive manner to fellow members and guests.
Willing to live onsite for one month during the season (April - September).
Follow all flying site rules and guidelines.
Familiarity with model aviation and flying sites norms and customs a plus.
The Academy will provide volunteers with the following:
Camping site with full hookups.
Transportation for use on site.
Cell phone for AMA use.
Caps and golf shirts with AMA Host/Hostess designation.
Store discounts.
Duties will include:
Helping members and visitors visiting the flying site.
Helping ensure that AMA safety code is observed on the flightlines.
Helping check in/register members and visitors at the camping sites.
Communicating with AMA staff on conditions of flying site.
We are seeking two host/hostess couples for each month of the flying season. This buddy system would allow a sharing of responsibilities while covering the site most days of the week. If you would like to apply to become an AMA Host and Hostess, contact Mary Hurn at
[email protected]. Because of the nature of this opportunity, we are asking for couples only. To download an application in PDF format, click here.
These positions are
not available to any AMA employee or official, either past or present.
Have an email in about this one. Waiting for clarification. Seems a bit ludicrous to restrict previously elected or appointed officials from VOLUNTEERING for this chore. They would know a _ell of a lot more about the activities than the average Joe off the street. Now I could understand that no person should be a Host while being an active candidate for an office but a past official, that is typical EC -- in my opinion -- and my typical EC opinion is well known.
