MAFCA National Events

March 6 - MAFCA is seeking a chapter or group of chapters to host a national event such as a National Awards Banquet, National Tour or National Convention. The common belief that this undertaking is difficult is offset if a few chapters join together to put on the event.

Guidelines for hosting are available on this website in the MAFCA policies area under the member’s only section. And it doesn’t even have to be in your backyard. For example: The 2025 National Tour, hosted by the Dallas Texas Chapter, will be a super event where we’ll have the opportunity to visit Civil War battlefields starting in Waynesboro, Virginia. And the last time I checked, Texas is a long way from Gettysburg or Antietam! Click Here to Read More
