Quick Way To Join Our Club Using Pay Pal
The Casa Grande RC Flyer first year dues are $75.00. Unless there is a membership special, all dues are for the calendar year. If you wish to join, you can do so by U.S. mail or Pay Pay, which is especially convenient for our Canadian flyers or anyone wanting to use a credit card or bank account.
To use a credit card or checking account debit, you will need to establish a Pay Pal account, at Pay Pal.com, (if you don't already have one). Sign into the account and look for the heading PAY & GET PAID. Then look for MAKE PAYMENTS. Next find SEND MONEY. The e-mail address used to make a payment to the club is CasaGrandeFlyer@aol.com. The usual membership dues are $75.00 but because you can't provide the required stamped self addressed envelope when using Pay Pal, the Pay Pal membership charge is $80.00. Enter that amount ($80.00) and be sure you are paying in USD (US Dollars). Finally, under ADD NOTE, be sure to type in your name, the mailing address you want the membership badge sent to (in the USA or Canada), your AMA number, e-mail address and telephone number.
When we receive the funds we will process your membership and mail your card and club information to the address you provided using First Class mail. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR AMA MEMBERSHIP MUST BE PAID UNTIL THE END OF THE CALENDER YEAR YOU ARE JOINING, OR LATER. You will not need to send a copy of your AMA membership card as we can now verify your membership online.
Of course anyone can join by U.S.mail for only $75.00 by sending their check payable to the "Casa Grande RC Flyers" with the correct information asked for above, along with a stamped self addressed envelope to:
Nancy Friedman, Treasurer

We encourage everyone to join as soon as they have their AMA membership paid until the end of the current year or later. Please remember that no memberships will be accepted at the field.
I sincerely hope that this information helps everyone who wants to join. After joining, our renewal dues are less at only $60.00 for the next calander year. There are no current plans to increase the renewal dues.
Sincerely,
Alan Friedman, President

The Casa Grande RC Flyers received the AMA's Award Of Excellence. The award was started by the AMA in 1990. Since then, only 58 clubs have received this honor, including the Casa Grande RC Flyers. The AMA staff (Erin Dobbs) recommended to the District Vice President that our club receive this award. The District Vice President agreed, and at the quarterly Executive Council meeting in Muncie, Indiana, the nomination was presented and voted on by ALL the district Vice Presidents and AMA Executive Officers. They unanimously approved our inclusion into this select group because of our club's community engagement and our continued dedication to model aviation and the Academy of Model Aeronautics. To put this into perspective, there are over 2,500 AMA clubs in the nation and only 58 have ever received this award. Thank you AMA for this top honor.
The Casa Grande RC Flyers was also named as a Gold Level Leader Club for several years in a row because of their wonderful facilities and activities. They were also named as the AMA's September 2020 "Club Of The Month". The membership is very proud of all the honors awarded their club. As of September 2020, the Casa Grande RC Flyers was the only club to ever win all three of these top honors
