<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Because the problem with losing membership from pattern is
2 fold. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>First is of course getting the new blood. This is, has,
and forever will be our primary struggle.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Secondly is keeping the pilots that we currently have. If
you have a large hole in a bucket, you can pour until your heart's content and
it will never fill up. We also have to keep the existing pattern flyers
interested and coming out to contests.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So, it's not MORE important, but it does have it's
own importance. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>I don't understand all the emphasis on the FAI
class when what we really need to do is promote and grow 401 through 403. If
we don't find the ways and means to re-seed Pattern, flying 2 schedules in FAI
will be a moot point. </FONT></DIV>
