INTERESTED VOLUNTEERS
One of the fund raising events that the Central Wisconsin Chapter does is to help out at the Iola Old Car
Show and Swap Meet.
We are looking for volunteers from the other participating clubs in the Wisconsin Rapids Model A
Reunion to possibly help us out this year. This year's Iola show dates are July 11th thru the 15th.
The job is to raise and lower the ropes of the show car parking area, to allow the cars to enter and
exit. The shifts are 6 hours, and run from 6 a.m. to noon, and noon to 6 p.m.
By volunteering for one shift you will receive free show admission for the entire weekend, free parking
next to the main front entrance gate, and drink/food tickets. You may volunteer for as many shifts as
you want.
If you are interested in this, please contact Ken Brekke for the possibility of being put on a work
schedule for this event. He will have a work schedule put together in late-April, and will contact you to
confirm your shift.

Wisconsin Chapter
Model A Ford Club of America
-12www.model-a-wis.com
The Presidents Notes—March 2007
Just two days after your 2007 board of directors had its first meeting, the board had its first challenge:
the national Model A Ford Club of America notified our club that its national liability insurance policy,
which covered our Wisconsin Chapter and 300 other chapters, would expire March 1, 2007. There
would be no new policy to immediately take its place.
The annual premium for the national policy rose from $3,500 per year to an alarming $92,000 per year
after an accident claim was settled following an injury at a MAFCA chapter swap meet in California.
MAFCA is shopping for a new liability policy but made it clear to our chapter that a new national
policy would not be in place before the old policy expired March 1. I learned all of this in a telephone
conversation with one of the members of the national board.
Since our club must have liability insurance to safely operate, our board of directors has done some
shopping of its own and will have purchased a liability policy by the time you read this.
Our club liability policy should not be confused with our individual automobile policies that cover our
Model A’s if they be involved in an accident. The liability policy offers our club protection in the event
we are held responsible for injuries to non-members or cause property damage during our indoor meets
at St. Aloysius Church, our picnic, any parades we participate in, our annual February swap meet, and
any other regular club activities.
This new insurance policy is a standard policy and to the best of our knowledge it is similar to the
policy that was in place until March 1 under MAFCA.
Without such a policy, we would be unable to rent our meeting room at St. Aloysius, participate in
parades, and rent the Washington County Fairgrounds building for our swap meet. Those halls and
events demand proof of insurance coverage.
We don’t know yet when MAFCA will have a new policy in effect, nor do we know if it would cover
all of our club events as it has in the past. Needless to say, this lapse in insurance coverage at the
national level is disappointing, especially as our chapter, one of the largest in MAFCA, marks its 49th
year of affiliation.
Fifty-year club member Wally Klager, who spoke at our banquet in January about the early years of
our chapter, recently mailed me a photocopy of a page of The Restorer magazine from Nov.-Dec. 1958,
announcing that we were the seventh chapter to join MAFCA. Our national charter is dated Nov. 5,
1958. Many Wisconsin club members have told me – while unhappy now that our club must now buy
its own insurance – that they still are looking forward to 50 years with MAFCA in 2008.
If you would like to learn more details about our club’s liability insurance policy, just give me a call or
send me an email. – Neil Besougloff

Reminiscing with the Historian
FIFTY YEARS AGO, 1957 – No information available for March
FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1962 – At the close of the business meeting, movies were shown, including
a Laurel and Hardy two-reeler in which old cars were wrecked.
FORTY YEARS AGO, 1967 – The annual Model A Ford Dance was held at Kuglitsch’s Arcade on
Greenfield Avenue. Music by the Harmony Lads was featured, along with free beer, for $2.00 per ticket.
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1972 – The annual club dance was held March 4th at Gonzaga Hall. The
“Bring Your Own Bottle” idea went over big because almost every table had at least one bottle on it. John
Franks sold the most tickets. 220 people attended.
THIRTY YEARS AGO, 1977 – A new award was initiated by Jerry Manning to honor the best of lost
wheelers. The recipient was Gene Engel. The Michael Brojanac family was honored as the outstanding
member for 1977.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1982 – The technical seminar for March was held at Avenue Brake Shop.
A DuPont representative was on hand to answer questions on paint and paint products.
TWENTY YEARS AGE, 1987 - The spirit of the Irish prevailed to inspire eight rugged Model A’ers to
dig out of six inches of snow to attend the Shamrock Club’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. Our club
members saved the day; the Model T Club and others cancelled. Participating were Benno and Doris
Muellner, Howard and Dorothea Ehlers, Gary Koser, Don and Lou Schoenke, Wes and Betty Campbell,
Bret Bartel, Fred and Cathy Bleidorn, Gene Engel, daughter Marilyn and husband Chris with a large snowman as his pick-up’s cargo.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, 1992 – A brief meeting was held in St. Aloysius’ School Hall and was followed
by an ice cream social. About 110 people were on hand. The chairpersons were Dennis and Anne Wacker
and Karen Sukkert.
TEN YEARS AGO, 1997 – A shoebox swap meet was held in March after the indoor meeting. Hosts were
Bob and Kitty Schaefer.
FIVE YEARS AGO, 2002 – After the March meeting, a Pinewood Derby was held and very well attended.
There were 50+ pinewood derby cars built by chapter men, women, and children.
Organizing the event were Tom Smith and Eric Haban.
Special thanks to Jim and Nancy Rusnak for their generous
assistance and sharing of expertise. They have helped us feel
confident about taking the historian position, and passed on a
well-organized archive of material.

THE REARVIEW MIRROR
The Annual Banquet as seen from the eyes of the Editor…………………….
The food was delicious, the music was great and the decorations were spectacular!
Our hosts, Dave & Carol Rozman and Mike & Sandy Yokofich did a great job planning
and preparing this evening. The slide show of old club pictures and the old club movie
clips was very entertaining! Some wonderful memories graced the screen.
During the awards ceremony, 50 year member Wally Klager, who was also a founding
member of the club, gave a wonderful speech. Wally says he is the only one in the club
older than his car. Wally says he is a true Ford man…. He was born at the Henry Ford
Hospital in Detroit, went home in a Ford Model T, that he can remember riding in during
his early childhood. Learned to drive in a 1937 Ford V-8, this car was Fords first all steel
topped cars. In the 1950’s Wally can remember seeing Model A’s on the streets of
Milwaukee. Having seen these cars. Wally always wanted a Model A with a rumble seat.
But acquired a Model A with a trunk and later turned that trunk into a rumble seat. He
remembers buying a Model A for $95.00. It had 4 good tires so he figured $75. for the
tires and the other $20 for the car. Wally stated to me that when this club started, it had
about 6 or 7 members. They got together to look at their cars, ask questions and give advice to each other on car problems and where to find parts. Later on the club drifted into
having events and making it more family orientated. I want to thank Wally Klager for all
his years of dedication to the club and for his most entertaining and wonderful story.
Congratulations to those members who received awards!

Table Top Swap
Hosted by Dennis & Marge Pierce
Gentlemen and Ladies start your swapping! That was the cry that rang out across the meeting hall at the
February 12, 2007 indoor meeting as buyers hurried to see what irresistible goodies the sellers had to offer.
There was a good turnout of members as seventeen sellers presented their wares for all to see. The buyers
moved between tables looking for that one indispensable item that they had to have. As with any swap
type of event, some found something and others did not. Several sellers reported brisk sales while others
said that it was slow for them. All things considered
it seemed as though the revival of the old Shoe
Box Swap event was well received.
