MAFFI Newsletter Minute Last year at Model A Day, we featured one of the four Model A's that traveled around the world in What a trip! I don't believe it could be duplicated today. Following the trip, Dianne Davis wrote a book about it and in preparation for Model A Day, a DVD was compiled of the presentation that Bob and Dottie Myers made after returning. MAFFI is fortunate to have several copies of both the video and the book and they are available for a small donation on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested, please me at president@maffi.org with your name and we'll go from there, but remember, there is a limited supply. We appreciate Bruce Davis for donating the books to MAFFI last year and to MAFFI Trustee, Jim Thomas for working to pull the DVD together. If you aren't familiar with the details of this trip, you really need both of these items for your library. This trip was the adventure of a lifetime and it is a thrill to read and hear about it. Don't miss this opportunity. We are making changes at the museum this year so plan on coming to Model A Day 2017 to see what's new. Loukie Smith MAFFI president 4
