I totally agree with discontinuing the calendars because I have a hard time throwing them away. The only people that want them to see if they are on it. Who uses calendars anyway? Our club is no different than Antique Auto Club (AACA) which I’ve belong to for 53 years. Our clubs is attended mostly by grey haired males like me. They too have articles, every so often, about getting young people involved. They had one solution was to raise the maximum age of the member vehicles from 1936 to just 25 years old to participate. This brought in the younger members, but this won’t work for eithers use because we will eventually not be able to work the modern motors with all the electronics.
Has anyone from AOMCI contacted AACA in Hershey, PA to see what other things they have tried? Maybe AACA would give AOMCI a write up and a photo article in their publication? The two clubs are in the same business of restoration and preservation.
I loved restoring early vehicles and it was my segway to vintage outboards. I would bet many antique auto collectors have vintage outboards in there garages! Bill in MN
