Here is some great information to help you plan for #MAPOM2019

Show & Sell

At Show & Sell, you can support MAPOM, our MAPOM Clubs, and the 2019 Convention host club by buying raffle tickets and shopping for merchandise (e.g., clothing, mugs, and magnets).

  • Clubs - Our clubs offer fantastic merchandise, raffles, and fun games to earn additional raffle tickets!
  • MAPOM - MAPOM offers Convention Badges, merchandise, a 50/50 raffle, and raffles for $25 gift cards provided by each club.
  • Convention Host Club (FAMOMC) - The convention host club offers the purchase of tickets towards convention raffles for a chance to win beautiful themed raffle baskets (e.g., Outdoors, Game Night, and Movie Night).
Each table accepts their own method of payment (all will accept cash, some will accept checks or credit card).
