2019 Mileage Awards

It is the end of March as I write this, and we are living in a difficult time. Our MARC friends are a friendly, gregarious lot, usually greeting one another with hugs and handshakes. These days, when we are able to get together in very small groups, we are practicing “social distancing” and doing The Bump. No, no, not with our cars – we are doing The Elbow Bump!

Many local governments have closed down non-essential businesses and severely limited the number of people who can congregate in one place, and this has caused the cancellation of many of our regional clubs’ meetings and events and, so far, our 2020 MARC Membership Meet in Plymouth, Indiana. We haven’t heard anything yet about the June National Meet, but I know MARC will keep us informed and make the best decisions for everyone involved.

In the meantime, please stay safe and help stop the spread of this coronavirus: wash your hands, don’t touch your face, stay at home, wash your hands, listen to your state and local authorities and the medical experts, and wash your hands. This, too, shall pass and we will be able to return to having fun with our Model A’s, maybe even by the time you receive this magazine!

Following is the 2019 Mileage Awards information. If your name isn’t on the list, it may be that you are “between awards,” or that you are not a member of the Mileage Program. If the latter is the case, maybe it’s time to join the program and join in the fun.

2019 Mileage Program Information and Awards List

Our Mileage Program members seem to have had a good time in their Model A’s in 2019! On March 14 we mailed 201 awards, 49 of which were first-time awards on the round blue plaques. We sent out six awards for mileage in excess of 100,000 miles, and two of those were for miles in excess of 200,000.

We received a total of 98 vehicle registrations since the last time we reported. However, seven of these were from MARC members who forgot that they had already registered their cars or thought that they had to pay a dollar every year. Since we don’t return money, these funds were forwarded to MARC headquarters as “donations.”

We received mileage reports from 89 MARC Regions this year, but only five reports from Unaffiliated members. However, we did learn that several formerly Unaffiliated members had joined local Regions, which was good to hear.

As of this reporting period, we have 1,429 members with a total of 1,707 vehicles. Mileage was reported for 812 of these vehicles. Please note that the number of members and vehicles includes those who have not reported for several years, and unless we are given information that they are no longer active, or the vehicle is sold, or whatever, we don’t move them to Inactive status for ten years.

The total number of miles reported for 2019 was 1,111,898. Way to go, Model A drivers!

Below is the list of awards for mileage year 2019. Congratulations to every one of you!
