Charity Program
The Club's Charity Program got a big boost in June with many donations from Club members, Peter Adams, Bob Burdick, Bill Burger, Charlie Mack, Jim Richards, Joe Tortoriello, Ian Woods and John Yanouzas. The current inventory of models will see us through Halloween and Thanksgiving Day, but will need replenishment for the Christmas season. Thanks much to all who donated over 9,900 models in the 10 years of the Program and hope there is more charity left in others. The smile is priceless and joy is big these little models elicit from the children who receive them.

 You can mail donations  to:

  • John Yanouzas
  • 7 North Bigelow Rd.
  • Hampton, CT  06247
  • USA

Matchbox Forum is offering to Club members exclusively a specially designed short sleeve golf shirt with a unique MOY logo on it and a specially designed dark green Baseball Cap. The shirts are not printed but embroidered. The price is in the USA, Australia and New Zealand US$20.00 (plus postage) and for the cap US$15.00 (plus postage).  The prices for Europe are  € 20.00 and € 15.00 postage excluded (has to do with postage and customs from the USA to Europe). 
The shirt colors will be determined by John Yanouzas. The reason is that we use very high quality shirts which John is buying in an outlet Centre. We have to accept than any color John can lay its hands on. The cap is only available in one color. The price of the shirt and the cap is at cost!
This design is made from a special MOY produced by MATCHBOX Club Germany  (Koenigsluetter) and the model is a 1918 Atkinson Model D Steam Wagon. The model was designed by Dirk Schleuer and as an appreciation for all the work he's doing on MOY and MCCD we put this 'special' on (his?) a shirt.
MOY Lincoln Zephyr.

If you are interested in acquiring this special shirt or cap contact for the USA, Australia and New Zealand John Yanouzas.  Members from Matchbox Forum Europe contact John Nijhuis. Please also mention the size and preferred (!) color. However as stated above we can not guarantee the color.
