Induction into the District VIII Dirty Dozen Society
No matter how large an aeromodeling club is, there is always the "Dirty Dozen" in the club. These are not usually the best fliers, or even the most famous members. They are the ones who do the dirty tasks that must be done so the rest of the club can have fun and enjoyment. They mow the field, move the portable toilets, and do the hundreds of other less-than-glamorous things that must be done for a modeling club to thrive.
The award certificate states: "In recognition of outstanding efforts promoting the sport and hobby of model aviation, contributions above and beyond the call of duty, and setting examples that inspire fellow members, this AMA member is hereby inscribed into the rolls of the AMA District VIII Dirty Dozen Society."
Bob Wilder of Colleyville, Texas, was inducted in March 2004. Bob is past president and founder of the AMA Special Interest Group (SIG) National Indoor Remote-Control Aircraft Council (NIRAC) and the Contest Director (CD) for all previous Southwestern Aeromodeling Conference indoor flying events.
The award certificate concludes with the following quote: "It has long come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sit back and let things happen. They are the ones who go out and make things happen."
AMA, the glue that bonds modelers together!
