AMA Expo 2010 Recap

The 2010 AMA Expo has passed and for the second year in a row, the PVMAC had a booth there. Like last year, this year was a big success for the PVMAC.  The volunteers at the PVMAC booths were able to sign up 17 new members and 33 membership renewals.  The volunteers were also hard at work selling raffle tickets, and the work payed off as the sales of tickets were up dramatically from last year.  This year, 3 PVMAC members were lucky enough to win a raffle prize.  Member Victor Noiron won an O.S.61, Jim Sout won a Hangar 9 Extra 260, and Joe Augion won a Saito FA-125A.  Non members also took home some great prizes; Kali Fogel won a JR9303 Radio, Steven Penn won a Hangar 9 P-51, Bob Thorugood won the FS-One Flight Sim, and Lucky Tom Kelly, purchasing just one ticket, won the Desert Aircraft DA-50-R. 

The PVMAC would Like to send a huge thanks to Dave Johnson from Desert Aircraft for donating DA-50-R, and to Horizon Hobby for their contribuitions to our raffle. We would like to also thank Chuck Pozone, Manual Rodrigues, Charlie Mitchell, Frak Harris, jim Stout, Thomas Marcure, Roy Barringer, Jose Brea, Antone Van and Beth, Kyle and Phil Goodwine for dedicating all or part of your weekend to this event.

It was stated at the January club meeting that because of the success of the 2010 Expo, we will definately be attending the 2011 AMA Expo. In fact there is already plans to increase our presence at the next show by adding a table to our booth.
