AMA really needs to have a dedicated staff of at least 3 people to help clubs with publicity, arranging fly-ins, training as shown, putting stuff into local newspapers or television and radio.

The youngest generation is probably the best target.  Kids 8 or 9 up to 15 or so are often interested is something more physical than punching buttons.

 I found it a nice surprise to see the EAA jump in on our side, in a very short time they've already done a MUCH better job of opening the right eyes and clarifying our cause than your AMA.

 On another note, an EAA membership costs about half of an AMA membership and you get a magazine that's actually worth opening.

and free admission to the museum and other events if you are local. and a big beer tasting event (hops and props) that is a real good time.

 Thanks guys, I rest my case on how worthless the AMA actually is to the hobby.
