Just kidding. Place a $50.00 order at Sam's Stuff and Hobbies and pick the model that you want, either a (CL) Pee Wee Pup or a tethered Hawk.

any time there is a post that is very important such as your free kit for the kids to get started i feel that it needs to have a sticky to keep it at the top of the page. why your post on the kits was removed after i put a sticky on it is a mystery it was up for a few days then gone.

Post by: LARRY RICE on June 24, 2009, 06:50:29 AM: Mr. Mathison, I meant no disrespect but I do realize that this post might be considered an advertisement for Sam's Stuff and Hobbies and be considered out of place here, as was a similar post I had put in the "Open" site. As to the one that I removed, I felt that it had server it's purpose and was no longer needed.
This battle to get kids back to the hobby has been a long, hard and costly one. I work with organizations and clubs in several states, I brough beat magazine editors to include kids in the publications and yes, I even put items in the local newspapers directed at the parents. You see I know that it is not just enough to get the hobbyist involved the larger battle is to get the parents in to parenting. Today young couples look at having kid the same as buying a car. You are expected to have one or two and to show them off, but when it comes to spending as little as one hour a day doing hobbies, sports or games they are placed in the garage/bedroom and given a video game to keep them quiet. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ALL PARENTS PLEASE DO NOT WRITE ME. R%%%%
Maybe I just have issues. Thank you for letting me vent, I LOVE this site.

Back to sleep Z@@ZZZ
