Has your club asked for and received funds from the AMA?
Just wondering what clubs have received money, and how much. Was it what you asked for? Was your request denied, and if so was a reason given?
Our club received $300.00 for windstorm/flood damage 4 years ago, our damages were far in excess of that but that's what we asked for. I know of one club locally that has made a request that is pending, not sure how long the process takes.
Not looking for a debate on the program and how much more/less they should be doing, just more of a factual response if possible. Thanks.

Just followed up on the other club, AMA gave them $300.00 for damages to their field caused by grubs/beetle/skunk damages to their runway. Damages were significant and really made it difficult to land on the grass runway. Complicating matters, they are in a flood zone and aquifer so they are not allowed to put any chemicals down. A few clubs in the area sustained heavy damages, ours cost over $1200.00 to repair so far, and there is no guarantee they won't be back again. From the time their grant was submitted to when it was approved was about a week. Whether it was the amount of damage caused, or the figure requested (less than half of actual costs), I'd say the turn around was pretty quick.
