Re: The Model A Members Album
The benefits of owning the member album are no less than buying a T shirt from Atlantic City or Disney World. It's a souvenir photo album of the membership of your club at a point in time. I wouldn't equate it to the benefit of a new set of spark plugs or even an oil change but it will outlast both and can at the least be a conversation piece when trying to explain to your neighbors what a Model "A" is and what the different body styles look like on real cars that exist today around the world. Hopefully, members' stories would make for interesting reading as well.
I purchased the previous edition and didn't like it. This book will be better and the contract has been rewritten to be more favorable to MARC and its members. For example, MARC has insisted that should your information not be included in this publication through no fault of your own, you will get your money back including shipping both ways.
Any royalties MARC receives from the sale of this book belong to you the members of the Model "A" Restorers Club. No person or persons (except the members) derive any financial reward for selling this book. In fact, it's a helluva lot of work putting the thing together but the Board feels it's worth the effort and so here we are. I'm sure any royalty figures will be documented in the financial reports from the MARC treasurer in due time. A public forum such as Ford Barn is not the appropriate place to discuss club finances. Hope this helps (some).

Secretary, MARC
