PROGRESS!!!  I realize too much time has passed since we announced our "letter of intent" with the Gilmore Car Museum.  We have since made considerable progress.  Our Trustees have all reviewed the Gilmore contract and have raised their concerns which are being negotiated quite favorably.  We are in constant contact with the Museum Director as we go through this process.  During all of this, the Cadillac-LaSalle organization has also been in the same process with the Gilmore staff.  As a result, we have combined forces and have contracted a Michigan law firm to make sure all the requirements of the State of Michigan are satisfied and that all organizations (Gilmore, MAFFI and the Cadillac LaSalle group) are in total agreement.  Complicated? Yes.  Progress? Yes.  We are confident that all steps are being taken and agreements solidified so that our next report will reflect a sound platform for a Model A Museum.   Obviously, our purpose is to finally fulfill our promise to you that we are doing things right.  But, equally important, to be sure that the Model A organizations (MARC, MAFCA, MAFFI)  and all you Model A'ers will not regret our decision.  That is something our Trustees have not overlooked throughout this process.  After all, this project is yours, one to support and to be unquestionably and absolutely proud.  I have one more year left as your Trustee and will not be satisfied until we have "shovels in the ground).  I ask all of you to give this all the support this project deserves.  A Model A Museum is long overdue.

There is a lot going on this summer: the MARC Meet, the Pony Express Drive and the MAFCA Vancouver Meet.  Unfortunately I can't make all three.  I will participate in the Pony Express Drive and the MAFCA Meet.  Although I can't be at the MARC Meet, MAFFI will be well represented by several of our Board of Trustees.

Enjoy your summer driving and God Bless.
