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>

My club (Eglin Aero Modellers) had a meeting last night and this club of
105 members voted to send $200 to the F3A Team Fund. That's $2 per member.
I am one of three pattern fliers in the club. However, this is the same
club which co-sponsored the 1999 F3A Team Selection Finals and the F3A World
Championships, so I wasn't surprised. Great bunch of R/C pilots.<br>
