John,
Although the flying site is an important issue with me my primary one is helping the clubs in District X find and keep their fields.
I understand your feelings about the flying site. When you refer to the financing as 100% AMA funding I look at it somewhat differently. Currently only 1% of your dues are spent directly in your district. That means only $0.58 of the $58 dollars an adult member under 65 pays in dues are spent in his district. I think we should look at that ratio and decide if it is serving the membership well. If it is not we should address it. I think developing a long term capital asset in our district would be a good use of our dues.
In any event I respect your right to disagree and wish you the best,
