Wink Re: I joined MARC now what?

This comment below is so true. Both MARC & MAFCA, along with their local Chapteers, are make up of volunteers. It is more about belonging and contributing to the Model A Hobby,'than what have you done for me lately. There are many good members in all clubs, and some that may not be as friendly. Like everything else, it is what you make it.

Again, thanks for joining, and WELCOME!

And your membership card will be included with your Jan-Feb issue of the Model A News. I received mine today. At national meets, those who register receive a name badge that is your admission ticket to club events and venues, although we don't normally have armed guards at the doors anyway!

MitchPA, Post 31: "I joined MARC, now what?"
-------------------------------------

Now you join MAFCA - The Model A Ford Club of America ! ! !

-"An art piece has no value - if no one looks at it." - Plato

Mitch, like art, a Club is like a tool - if you use it, it has value - if you do not use it, it has no value. Both national clubs have value. Just how much value depends on how much you use (or don't use) it. For the last twenty-five years I only continued MAFCA because of the RESTORER magazine.

Being in a remote area, I used the RESTORER magazine just to keep 'connected' to the outside world of like-minded Model A owners. I stopped MARC twenty-five years ago because like many, I could not find value in TWO clubs.

I drive 100 miles round trip every month and have for several years to my local club meeting (Chattanooga). It is worth it all just to be part of an 'A' family. We try to have an enjoyable outing nearly every month. I also belong to MARC and MAFCA and intend to as long as I am breathing.

I have the first 50 years of The restorer. A screen is no substitute for a magazine in hand.
PS I have lots of duplicates if anybody is looking for some.

Now you will have reading material for your "Waiting Room". You can now get rid of all those 1982-85 Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit issues.

Now that your a memmber of MARC, you are welcome to join a club that may be close to you. One could be the Lehigh Valley Model A Club. We are located in the Allentown,PA area. Please stop by our tent at the Hellertown show and we can talk. Joining a local club can be very benificial for everyone, but you can only get out of a club, by how much you put into it. We are turning into a very active club with great comradery. Steve Ryan - club secretary 610-967-5027
