RE: what up with AMA?
A lot of the club contact info on the AMA web site is out of date. Not AMA's fault, it is up to the clubs to notify the AMA Webmaster to have it updated.
As already mentioned, email is not the best way to make contact. At 48, I am considered fairly young among our club members. Some of our members are retirees who spend a lot of time flying. They check email a few times a year, if they think about it.
But dial their number and they will either answer or call you back (when they are finished flying).
