generously donated to the RAMAC club as a prize for the Pocono

revenue for the club. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I think we'll do instead is have the raffle,
only the revenue will be turned over to our F3A Team. That ought to
help!</FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">There's a long thread ongoing regarding AMA's coverage of
the F3A Team Selection Finals and pattern in general. Please be aware that AMA
provides a portion of the funds needed to support the Team, usually around
$8,000. <BR><BR>More importantly, as it takes $10,000 + more to fund the Team.
I urge that each of you promote club / individual donations. Your club has
received a letter soliciting funds by now, please encourage your club officers
to present it at a club meeting for consideration.<BR><BR>I'm proud to tell
you that one of the clubs that Andre' Bouchard and I belong to, the Fort Bend
R/C Club (near Houston, TX) chose to donate $400 from the treasury and
collected another $150 from members at the last meeting to support the
Team. Andre' and I are two of three pattern flyers in the
club.<BR><BR>Earl Haury<BR>F3A TSC Chairman</FONT>
