Mustangs West July 2007 Newsletter


 
Meeting was called to order at 7:08 P.M. on July 5th, 2007, by Club President Karena Peterson.
 
The Treasurers report was given by Jean Doan and approved by the club.
 
Club Secretary gave the minutes of the last meeting as posted online and brought to the meeting.  Minutes were read and approved by the club...
 
Al was introduced to speak first about the Tumwater Parade's success.  It went well, despite another heat related casualty towards the end of the drive.  The veterans had a great experience in the parade riding with club members Dixon, Lewallen and McDonald who drove them.  All of the cars that committed showed up.
 
Member Patrick talked about the show and how much fun he had.
 
Club member and Show Chair Dayna presented the club with the new club Tshirts which are being sold for $10 each for now, but the cost will go to $15 by the time of the show.  We have 22 sponsors so far for the show and only 13 more are needed, hopefully filling up by Labor Day.  Awards have been ordered and the main sponsor/s is being negotiated currently.  We still need chairs for the raffle table and the goody bags.
 
Karena mentioned that pre-registrations are starting to come in and to keep an eye out for them.
 
Member Lou spoke about the parade and how much fun he and his wife had at it.  Member Patrick also talked about his lost MW flag that was last seen on Isreal Rd.
 
President Karena and Vice Pres. Jim spoke about the California Nationals show that they and others attended.  It was a huge success and most who went actually judged many of the categories.  The Hodown was fun, the trophies and the judging were well executed and it was a fantastic time had by all.  Also mentioned was the "toll booth" incident.  Next years National will be a Grand National and will be held in Utah.
 
V.P. Jim talked about the 1st of July picnic.  Not as many members showed up this year, probably attributed to the fact that the holiday fell in the middle of the week, but fun was had by all and the firworks were neat.
 
Also mentioned by Jim was that he tried to get member WC's car to the Fort Lewis show that weekend of the parade, but turned into a disaster and was forced to bail on it and get Herbie the love bug.  It took 2nd.  Jim received multiple raffle items and door prizes.
 
New quests and old guests were introduced by Karena.
 
Lou mentioned that the Bellingham cars will be in Shelton for the cars next week, not the week previously indicated.
 
Jim noted the Bellevue show is coming up.
 
Member Al spoke about the Lakefair car show that is coming up and that the registration is ending soon.  The Lakefair parade is on the 21st and he still needs one more convertible, as Patrick is going on another adventure with his employers and has to back out.  Also needed are a few extra cars for the main part of the parade, not to drive dignitaries.
 
Also mentioned was our carshow was mentioned in the Mustang Times, as there is an ad placed in it.
 
Member Chuck spoke about Five Star seriously wanting to support our club in any way possible and wants to have a "show off" in Aberdeen.  He is requesting as many cars as possible show up to participate.  75000 flyers went out regarding the July 22nd show at 11am.  Afterwhich, there will be a Potluck at Chucks house.  Gathering time to cruise up there will be at 9am at South Sound Mall, per Jim.
 
Dayna suggests that all who are not doing roundup, show up at the Harnish Show to support member Del, who is helping with that show.  Those who are going should meet at 8:30 at the Lacey Mcdonalds on that Saturday.  More information will be emailed and posted on the board regarding both shows.
 
Karena spoke about a few shows coming up: The Gig Harbor show on the 28th, and the Port Orchard show on the 29th.  Members going to the latter should meet at 8am on the 29th at McDonalds.  Further info will be emailed out and placed on the board. 
 
Raffle tickets were drawn.
 
Meeting was adjourned at 8:19.
