to the AMA and hoping it'd get to the team <G></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Good questions all, Eddie. In the first place, the Team petitioned the
NSRCA directly, and got $1000 up front. Secondly, we will be having an
auction of donated items at the NATS. So, I guess we felt it would be
poor form to ask the individual members for cash over and above this.... but
we're not too proud to take it;) Please join into the auction, BTW!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We also petitioned every AMA RC club, and got some that way. You
know, we don't think of it much; but to get to the WC's, each of these guys
has flown a LOT. Sure, they're sponsored by Futaba, JR, or Airtronics;
Morgan Fuel, YS, OS, Hacker, etc. But it still brings a lot of money out
of their own pockets to get to the place that they can MAKE the Team.
Then there's the vacation time; they've used it all just qualifying. We embark
August 15 for Paris.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bryan Hebert's (and my) job is taking care of the details so they can
concentrate on flying. We want an American to stand at the top of the
awards podium, and an American Team to get the Team gold. It's called
patriotism; and it's not a dirty word! More than that, when we expend
the effort to further the interests of the few, we lift the pool of ability
that they're drawn from (that's guys like us). We're just coming up a little
short. Plane fares alone cost almost $10,000. Then there's the
vans in Paris at $1000 per week (3). Motels, eats, you can see the
picture. We still need another $8000, minimum. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway; to donate to the AMA for tax purposes, send it to the AMA
earmarked FAI Team Fund. Make sure you send us your address so we can
get the T's to you.

I haven't seen this info on the list NOR have I seen a post just
asking for donations. Is there a problem ( reason not to) with posting this
info on the NSRCA site & referencing it to all lists to get the word
out. If all NSRCA ( and a few AMA) members made a small donation it
would add up to a sizable amount of money <G></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=570184413-09072005>I get hit up on a daily basis( here at

sending little susie to ball camp, beauty pagent ,etc,to real benefits for
families who've suffered trajedy in there lives. I don't see a problem
with those involved in the team just outright asking for
donations. Maybe this happens at the Nats (don't know , haven't
been there yet!) and I'm out of line ( if so please excuse this
