Chilly Winter weather has found us.

hours! There was also a fun time at the Spanaway Eagles with Pull

Tab Mania, another fun trip out to the Rainier View Winery, and club

elections. I'd like to thank everyone that decided to take a chance a

run for office. Congratulations to our new Executive Committee for

2014:

Mustang of the Month Jason Dingledine

2013 Boss 302

Pony News December 2013

Page 6

My interest in the Mustang started as a kid, hearing my father talk

about his '70 Fastback that he had before I was born. When I

turned 16, started looking for a 60's Stang, but it wasn't in the

cards at the time. After I enlisted in the Army, and was stationed

here at Fort Lewis, I was finally able to purchase my first Mustang,

a 2005 V6 automatic in Windveil Blue. I had that car from May

2009 through November 2012, and the only mods I made were a

Pypes dual exhaust and JLT CAI, with a Bama Performance Tune

(all from American Muscle).

During my 4th deployment, I found out that Ford was discontinuing

the Boss 302 from it's product line. I started looking in earnest for one to purchase once I returned

home. I wanted to purchase it from Lakewood Ford, as they had taken good care of my wife and I

when we purchased her Ford Edge. They weren't able to make any trades with another dealership, so I

was forced to go elsewhere. I found my 2013 Boss 302 at Bellevue Ford, and the rest as they say is

history. I didn't even test drive it before starting the paperwork.

I asked my daughter Antoinette to give the new car a name, and she chose

Evelyn. Being an 80's kid, I had to put my own twist on it, so I stayed with

Evelyn, but spell it Evil-Lyn (He-man reference for us 80's brats). She is Boss

#2235, and is one of less than 300 cars built with the Recaro seat/Torsen Dif-

ferential package in Performance White paint. The only mod I've made so far

is to add the MMD hood struts, so I don't have to use the annoying prop stick

when the hood is open. The next two mods will be a one-piece aluminum

driveshaft, and the Raxiom in-dash replacement navigation system. Sub-frame

connectors and other suspension upgrades will follow later.

Evil-Lyn is my daily driver, but she has seen a small amount of Auto-cross

track time. In the spring, I plan on doing the Hooked on Driving class out at

The Ridge, and doing more road course driving.

Club members at the November meeting formally adopted the following organizations to receive

proceeds from the 2013 annual car show at a level of $1,000 each.

EMERGENCY FOOD NETWORK

EFN provides more than 15.1 million healthy, nutritious meals annually at no cost to over 67

food banks, hot meal sites and shelter for distribution to low income families and individuals.

In 2012, programs in their network accommodated 1,381,602 total visits. EFN spent neatly

$1.45 per visit to assure that each time a community member walked into a food program with

nothing, they walked out with enough food for 11 meals.

With an administrative overhead of under 4%, EFN distributes $12 worth of food for every $1

received….that means PCMC’s donation of $,1000 equals $12,000 toward EFN’s goal “that no

person goes hungry.

PUYALLUP VALLEY ST. FRANCIS HOUSE

Offering hope and eases hardships of those in need in East Pierce County. They exist to im-

prove the lives of those in need by offering the following services and programs:

Clothing Bank provides gently used clothing and household items to families

Furniture Bank provides beds, tables, chairs and other items to families who otherwise would

have to eat and sleep on the floor.

Meal Program serving 5 dinners to the homeless each week serving over 12,000 meals annually.

Back to School Program served 917 students with a back pack, supplies & a new outfit.

Small Food Bank to tide families over while they wait for assistance from larger banks.

Emergency Assistance Fund to assist with utilities, rent, gas or bus vouchers.

CARING FOR KIDS

Caring for Kids is an all volunteer organization helping kids in need in Lakewood, Joint Base

Lewis McChord, Steilacoom and University Place. All money and in-kind donations go directly to

helping kids. They provide school supplies, clothing, hygiene and dental products, food, books,

ready to learn materials and holiday gifts. In addition they also collaborate with the Methodist

Church Friday Dinners, the Fish Food Bank and the Food Connection Food Truck in Springbrook.

Many of you will remember that Caring for Kids was this year’s recipient of PCMC’s School

Back Pack & Supply drive associated with our annual car show and received $291 from the

50/50 raffle.

SANTA’S CASTLE

While not receiving a cash donation, Santa’s Castle is the targeted charity for this year’s toy

drive held inconjuction with the Fantasy Lights cruise and Holiday Gathering. Please bring an un-

wrapped gift to either event. In special need are gift cards, items of interest to teenagers, books

for all ages, board games, infant items.

November 9th found 15 volunteers dawning warm gloves covered with plastic gloves and the

ever so attractive hair nets as they tackled repacking blocks of frozen kernel corn into smaller

packages.. The thank you note from EFN notes that 6,400 pounds repacked during our 3 hour

shift equates to 5,120 meals are now ready for redistribution to their 67 food bank centers.

Many thanks for spending the morning giggling, cursing tie machines, pulling kernels out of

sleeves (how do they get in there?), and in general having fun doing something good.
