 · Call Ross Walter (or e-mail him) to get your custom printed BRAND NEW authentic Model 'A' name badge. You've got to have one when you show up at the meetings or go on the tours. We can't tell the players without those sturdy plastic name badges. Good price on these too. $9.00 for the tags ... 'cheap'!  See the club merchandise page for Club items that may be still available.
 · Are you a good public speaker? We need somebody to do Tech Talks at the monthly meetings. If one person knows a method of restoring, refinishing, or has experience in any auto related product or procedure, then they are qualified. Contact us, via the e-mail address, to set things up.
· New Membership forms should be in the mail as of this fall. If you're new, come out and get acquainted. Anybody, in the Club, will be able to help you confirm the information that's on the form. Mail it in and get in on everything the Club has to offer. The New Roster is out to the members already, is it correct? We publish a new roster every two years. 2010's has been published and was delivered last fall.
 · This year marks the 53nd Anniversary of the Model "A" Owners of Canada club. We are expecting some interesting tours, and other events to be planned for the membership to enjoy. If you wish to submit an idea, or tour, come forward at one of our meetings, or contact the Executive. Modern Cars (MI's) are welcome, if you don't own a Model "A". Anyone can attend an event, it takes a dedicated person to plan and run one.
