Notes from the MAMA President:
A very special MAMA model car display -
MAMA's Boyz have been invited back to the Annapolitan
Assited Living Community to put on a model car display
for their residents on June 13th, 2025. Show time is from
1:30 pm to 2:30 pm (setup will be between 12 noon to 1:30
pm.) The community is located at 84 Old Mill Bottom Rd,
Annapolis, MD 21409 and their phone number is 410-757-7000.
MAMA member Joe Bless is living there these days. He used
to arrange IPMS-type club displays there and a model car
display just seems like a good idea. Click
here to see directions and a map. Let us know if you'll be attending and displaying
your models. Hope to see you, and your model cars,
there!
Special Note #1: Aftermarket Companies and Rare/Old
Kit Sellers! MAMA wants you at our show in May! We are
calling out to potential vendors for our upcoming Mid-Atlantic
NNL! We have begun sending out packages to those who've
vended at our show before, and we have a few tables still
availble. If you would like to vend at our show in May,
send an email to our Vice President, Dave
Toups, for table reservation information. This
is your opportunity to mingle with your customers in person
and learn what they want to see from you in the future.
Special Note #2: Calling all sponsors!
1. Trophy Sponsors: If you would
like to sponsor one or more of the awards at our upcoming
Mid-Atlantic NNL email to our
club treasurer, Matt
Guilfoyle, for category availability.
2. Raffle/Door Prize Sponsors: If
you would like to donate product samples, promotional materials,
etc, this is an opportunity for potential new customers
to learn of your products, see them in person, and understand
the quality you bring to the hobby market. To put your company's
name and products directly in front of our participants
and help us defray the ever-rising costs of conducting a
regional model car event, send an email to our President,
Tim
Powers for details.
The wonderful sponsors represented below
have already begun providing us with very
generous product contributions for our 2024 show. There
is still plenty of time for your company to position itself
among these great supporters of the model car hobby!
