District III
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
After becoming your District III Vice President (VP) in 2012, I was concerned that the district’s website was no longer available. I attended the Johnstown RC Club’s 50th anniversary banquet, where I met Roger Luther. I mentioned to Roger that a priority was a new district website. A few days later, Roger sent me a link to a new District III website.
Roger volunteered to design, maintain, and keep the site up to date. Prayer answered! In 2020, after 8 years as a great webmaster, Roger felt the site needed a makeover and new blood to maintain it. I began looking for someone to maintain the website with the quality and integrity as Roger had. I contacted District III Associate Vice President Lisa Zoldak, whom I knew designs, builds, and maintains websites for several area clubs. Without hesitation, Lisa said she would be glad to be the new district webmaster.
Announcing the redesigned District III website! The web address is still the same, www.amadistrict-iii.com; however the entire website has been updated and refreshed. On the landing page, you will see tabs for Home, District News, Club News, D3 Events, District VPs, D3 Officers, OH-PA-WV Clubs, and more.
The Home tab is the latest AMA news and information. Click on Club News and see newsletters from around the district. If your club would like to share your newsletter, please send a copy to Lisa and she will include it.
Are you looking for events in the district or AMA sanctioned events anywhere? Go to the Events tab. Send Lisa a copy of your event flyer and it will be posted on the page. Do you want to know the area clubs and contacts? Click on Clubs and you will see clubs sorted alphabetically with their websites and contacts. Go to your club’s page and review the information. Are your club logo and link to your website correct? Do you not see your club’s information? Contact Lisa and she will make additions and corrections.
Lisa’s email is bigredspider@neo.rr.com or use the new chat box link at the lower right corner of each page to contact her. I urge all District III members to go to www.amadistrict-iii and utilize this valuable resource. Bookmark the site and visit often for updated news and information concerning activities in both District III and AMA. Thank you, Roger, for designing and maintaining the website since 2012, and thank you Lisa for taking on the webmaster duties.
I received the following event report from District III Associate Vice President Jim Martin.
“The Darke County Aeromodelers club held its annual swap meet on Sunday, October 25, 2020, at the Darke County Fair Grounds in Greenville, Ohio. The COVID-19 pandemic presented several challenges for the club, requiring approval from the County Health Commission and the Fair Board. More than 40 vendor tables were spaced at least 6 feet apart with plenty of buying and selling activity. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic concerns, the swap meet was a big success.”
Until next month, stay safe and fly safely.
