Club After Christmas Party January 18th 1-5PM

After the holidays, let's get the Mustangs back out and show off the

new goodies we got for them at the club after Christmas party. It will

be held on Saturday January 18th at Keith and Deb Corkern's home in

Braselton from 1-5. If you need directions, I have emailed them out to

the membership. The club will provide meat, bread, fixings for

sandwiches, and drinks. Members are asked to bring their favorite

side and/or dessert. We will eat first, then hold our meeting, and then

have our white elephant gift exchange, see pictures to left from 2013.

To properly plan the quantity of food to order, we do need rsvp's from

those that are planning to attend. Please email me with your rsvp, and

the number in your party by Sunday January 5th.

Toys 4 Tots Drop Off & December Meeting

We held our annual toy purchase at the Cleveland Walmart and drop

off at Jacky Jones Ford on December 7th

. As you can see from the

pictures to the left, we had a great time as always, we were able to

purchase $2,900 of toys plus the toys collected at our show at

Mustangs Unlimited in October. We held our December meeting at

Jacky Jones after the drop off, then caravanned over to Hawg Wild in

Clarkesville for a late lunch. We had a great turnout for this

worthwhile cause, I counted 20 cars that turned out at the Walmart, and

40 people at lunch.

Thanks Debra Ramey for helping us out at Walmart and supplying

your employee discount to make the $ stretch even further.

Toys 4 Tots Show/Moonshine Fest.

We held our Toys 4 Tots show at Mustangs Unlimited on

October 19th. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate

and the turnout was light. We still gathered a table full of

toys and had a great time.

Several of us went up to the shows at the Moonshine

festival on both days. Many nice cars, several awards for

club cars both days, and who can forget the fried pies and

other good eats, right Kenny?

We had our October meeting at

Vogel State Park. We ate

hamburgers, hot dogs, and all kinds

of other goodies, then had our

meeting. After the meeting several

of us took a pony run across Hwy

180 and the Richard Russell Scenic

Highway, stopping for the views a

couple of times before heading

home. On the way to the meeting,

we also ran the section of 180

between Suches and 129, which is a

great drive, unless of course you’re

following a slow Harley.

Looking Back

Welcome to Our New Members

JD & Yuling Chansard Lawrenceville 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca

Elliot & Sue Sande Gainesville 1991 5.0 Coupe & several Chevys

Chad & Caitlyn Ferguson Cleveland 2008 GT Coupe

Kevin Evans Winder 2006 Convertible, 1980 Pinto wagon

Interestly, JD is a native of France, and a member of a French Mustang Club that is planning to attend the

50th

Mustang birthday party in Charlotte. They are flying into Atlanta, renting some Mustangs, and touring

Atlanta and the surrounding areas. JD is putting together an itinerary, so as we get closer to April, and they

firm up their plans, we will be trying to find an evening where we can meet them for dinner, maybe some

good bbq, and give them the opportunity to see some of our Mustangs.

Saturdays Awards at the Moonshine Festival

Other Club Activities

We are planning a meeting in early to

mid February at Rick & Cher’s house to

start planning the 2014 Maggie Valley

show, this will not be a club meeting, but

decisions made at this planning session

will be vetted at the next club meeting. If

you are interested in being more active in

the show planning, please let me know

and we will try to come up with a date

that works for everyone.

An interest has been expressed in having

club antenna flags made up for display on

our cars at shows. Cher is working on

finding a vendor and getting a cost for

our next meeting. We would sell these to

members at cost, and keep some in club

stock.

Spring Pony Roundup

The date has been set for our Spring Pony Roundup show at

Mustangs Unlimited. It is on Saturday March 15th

from 10-4

with a rain date of Sunday March 16th. Members will need to

be there by 8:30 to help setup for the show. This show helps

fund our activities during the year, and also adds to what we

can donate to charity during the year. So come out and give us

a hand, and show your car.

50th Mustang Birthday Party in Charlotte

This celebration of the 50th

anniversary of the date Mustang

first went on sale is scheduled for April 17th

-20th

, 2014 at

Charlotte Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

At least 12-15 club members/couples are planning on

attending the Charlotte event. Close hotels are hard to find,

so if you want to go, check the MCA website for help with

hotel suggestions. They will cut off car registration on

3/1/14, make sure you register by then. This is not a

carshow, there will be no judging, but you can register for an

award of excellence if you have won an award at a MCA

event in 2012 or 2013, cut off for registering for awards is

2/28/14. There is track time available, both drag & road

course, many vendors are planning to attend, I would expect

to see many more vendors than at a MCA national. Check

www.mustang.org or call Rick at 678-371-5799 for more

info.
