General Information: The Arkansas Tin Lizzies Model T club is a local chapter of the Model T Ford Club of America. The club was chartered and incorporated in the state of Arkansas in 2005. The Arkansas Tin Lizzies Model T Club was formed with a vision to locate current Model T owners in our state, and motivate them to become involved with others in the hobby. If the members and their family become motivated with the hobby and the club, then they will be active in functions such as meetings and touring as a group in the cars. With such a large area to cover, it was decided that the club would create four different zones to accommodate the current membership in travel to meetings and assist the members in finding others in their area who own Model T vehicles. Each zone has an elected officer who presides as chairperson in their zone with the responsibility of coordinating area meetings and driving tours. The club meets as a group every three months in a different zone thus allowing all the members to have at least one meeting reasonably close to their hometown. The club strives to preserve and promote the Model T Ford for future generations by educating people of all ages in the history, lore and skills of maintenance of the car that put America on wheels. The annual membership fee is $10.00 per family. While we don’t require our members to join the MTFCA, we do encourage them to consider the benefits of membership in the national program. Presidents Message Volume 4, Number 3 If you didn't make it to Paragould for the Summer Tour, you missed one of the best tours yet! Michael Nowlin did a terrific job getting the tour together - the hotel was very nice, good food, great Model T roads, and unbelievable scenery. Thanks Michael to you and your dad Larry for all your hard work! I look forward to a repeat in the future. Considering the distance to Paragould, we had a good turnout with 10 Model Ts and 1 Model A. Several club members made their first tour with us and we look forward to them making many more. First timers were Joyce and Ken Swan, Carolyn and Larry Williams, Ervin Pearcy, and Tom Patris. Betty and Joe Jeffers continue to amaze me with their attendance from Vicksburg plus they even drove the T all the way to Paragould. I am excited about the Fall Tour in Vicksburg that Joe and Betty Jeffers will be hosting in October - visiting the Hot Air Balloon Festival, great roads and scenery, and of course the great restaurants. Make plans now to attend and get those Ts ready to hit the road!
