News from the NFFS
==================
1. The NFFS has just received word from the IRS that it has been granted 501
c-3 status, which means that any donations can now be tax deducted by the
donor. This would include money or property donations. The requirements of the
law include the obligation to provide a document to all donors whose
contributions exceed $250 indicating that the donation did not cause the
individual donor to receive added benefits. More details will be available in
the NFFS Digest.
2. A free flight benefactor has given the NFFS $1000 to promote activity in
the USOC at Muncie this August. The money will be paid to the High Point
winner in a combination of AMA events. This award is not to be misconstrued as
the Free Flight Championship award which is under the sponsorship and
regulations of the AMA. More details on this award will be found in the
Digest.
3. The AMA Open cargo record has stood for a long time. In order to encourage
competitors to break this record, an anonymous contributor has provided a $100
prize to the first person who does so. NFFS will handle this award.
4. Bob Beecroft has accepted the position of Hall of Fame Chairman for the
NFFS. Bob replaces Jim Haught, who has stepped down at the end of his three
year stint of service. Bob will be announcing the nominations process in an
upcoming issue of the Digest.
5. Len Sherman and his wife have completed counting the survey forms from the
membership and are preparing a report for the Digest. Over 300 (of the 1800+)
NFFS members responded. Of interest is the age of the majority of the
respondents. Folks, we now have reached the "Over 60" age barrier. More
details in the Digest.
6. Finally, for now, I am looking for someone who is websavvy to be the person
who tends this website. This volunteer needs to be free flight oriented, have
a sense about what is news, be a bit pushy, and have a few hours a week to
devote to keeping this website looking good, up to date, and useful. If you
meet these requirements, contact me (Bob Stalick) at

The loops are ok, but not the Lomchovaks. Remember, no closed loop,
sensor-driven controls!

===============
Looking for someone to e-mail us [This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.] the full
results from the Holiday on Ice. .. I saw Brian Van Nest's photos
from the event as did a number of other US flyers. If the airfares are
as good next year I think you will have more people from the US.
Looking for the next World Cup results when they happen in Australia.
