TIPS FOR CLUBS
Club Corner
by Jim Wallen,
AMA Insider Club Editor
Has your club become a little
inbred? By this I mean perhaps you have not looked
around to other clubs to see what you might
incorporate to make your club more interesting and
enjoyable.
Visit another club’s meetings to see what features
you might carry back to your club. Maybe you can
arrange to have a couple of clubs in your area get
together and fly at a host field. It’s amazing what
a hot dog and a cup of coffee can do in bringing
club and personal relationships closer together.
Most AMA clubs around the country are facing
declining membership. Is your club in the same boat?
What can you do about it? Nothing happens unless you
go out and make it happen.
AMA had a membership drive last year that added new
members. The program is improved for 2010, so take
the time to understand it and bring the details to
your club and membership. New members bring a fresh
outlook and renewed enthusiasm. Wouldn’t it be nice
to add some new volunteers to the 10% who seem to do
most of the work?
Are you aware of the AMA program “Sign 3-Fly Free?”
You can receive a one-year AMA membership credit for
signing up only three new members! For details see
the AMA Web site at www.modelaircraft.org/ambassador.aspx.
Spread the word!
Till next time.
