As part of our ongoing 50th Anniversary celebration, all MAFCC members are encouraged to participate in the Passport Game. It’s simple and fun: just get your passport from Fred Binkley, Jay Binkley or Bill McNeill and be sure to carry it all year long to club functions. At certain events (and nobody knows which ones they will be), you will be required to answer a question pertaining to the Model A era and have your passport stamped. Turn your passport in at the adult Christmas party next December and have a chance to win one of five fantastic prizes, to be awarded at the Inaugural Banquet in January 2010 - and yes, you must be present to win!
     First prize - a set of five tires for your Model A
     Second prize - a new trunk, either black or tan, winner’s choice
     Third prize - a Zenith carburetor
     Fourth prize will be a super leakless water pump.
     Fifth prize will be an original, rebuilt distributor
     There will also be a bonus prize of men’s/ladies’ era outfits - to be determined by a random drawing of members who have attended the most activities but didn't do as well with the questions.
