Hello, everyone!  My name is Emily Ellway , and I am the Model A Restorers Club’s new Youth Coordinator.  I am very excited to take on the position, having grown up in this amazing environment!  As far as my love for Model A’s go, it is a strong love,  built on  a sturdy foundation.  I have been attending MARC National Meets since before I was even born with my first meet being in Cincinnati in 2001! I grew up in my parents’ (Kevin & Teresa Ellway) 1929 Roadster Pickup, and it will always have a special place

in my heart. Growing up, I enjoyed going to the summer meets and seeing all of our friend s, participating in the chassis rebuild and Hubley race , and enjoying all the other children’s activities!  I also spent many years helping my mom in touring class judging, which I really enjoyed.  The meet has always been one of my favorite parts of summer because it is my way of seeing our country one state at a time, and I am so excited to see you all at the National 2021 Meet in Oshkosh!

As far as introducing myself personally, I am Ohio born and  raised.  I would describe myself as being determined , outgoing and  adventurous.  I have just entered my first year  studying  at  Cleveland  State  University  in the hopes of pursuing a career in the pediatric medical field someday.  I graduated from high school  this  past May  as class  president  and  president of the National Honor Society, and I spent my free time working a part-time job and volunteering around town. I also spent a semester of my sophomore year  studying  abroad  in  Argentina,  which  was  an  amazing  opportunity! I enjoyed high school and growing up around cars of all ages , and I am looking forward to the next chapter in my  life.  I am very excited  knowing  that the next chapter includes continuing to be a part of MARC, and I look forward to spending time encouraging our youth to enjoy this amazing organization  with  all  it has to offer! If you  have any questions , comments  or advice, please reach out to me at YouthCoordinator@Model-A-Ford.org.  I am truly excited to start in this position, and see you all soon!
