April 29, 2016
Hello Mustangers!
The Ice Breaker Brunch Run is coming up at the Fox & Hounds in Hubertus on May 1st.
Please be on time at the two starting points for the cruise. We meet at the WaterStone Bank on 27th street at
8:00am, departing at 8:30am sharp. Then we regroup out at the McDonalds at I94 & highway 83 and leave
that point at 9:30am for the Fox & Hounds.
With our All Ford Car Show coming up quickly, we are asking the club members to get out
and about for contributions to our car show raffle. The show is approaching faster than one thinks. Stop in at
your favorite car shop, parts store, barber, grocery store, ice cream joint, etc and pleasantly request
donations. It’s always good to wear your club clothes when asking. This is to show pride in our great
organization. Also, be sure to wear your club clothes when shopping at these locations. Owners and business
people take notice and appreciate your business as mush as we appreciate their offerings. We can also use
anyone’s assistance in moving cars out of the Ewald’s lot on Saturday May 21st starting around 3:30pm. If
you can, we would appreciate your help returning the cars back to the lot on Monday morning May 23rd at
7:00am.
Mike Johnson is planning two events for our club. One is taking in some drag racing fun at
Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove and another is a charity event called Rod’s for a Reason which is to
raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This event takes place in Kenosha County at Petrifying
Springs Park on July 10th. Watch our newsletters and the club web site for further details as they become
available.
Just remember, there is NO CLUB MEETING in May. Our next scheduled meeting is on
June 27th.
That’s all for now!

said the weather was perfect and the show was busy. He noted the number of swap spaces has

Great Lakes Dragaway (GLD) in Hwy. KR and Hwy 45, Union Grove, WI is offering our group a
chance to watch the drag races and drive our cars down the drag strip, plus, we’d have “promo”
parking. Mike Johnson is volunteering to organize this outing. We will discuss this again during the
June 27th meeting. If members show an interest he will set the date with GLD. You will then need
to RSVP as GLD will need a firm count. Mike will be working at the car show if you want to talk to
him.
•
Dick’s Garage Reunion will be held on Saturday, May 28th , beginning at 10:00am. Bring your racer,
custom, rod, classic, or antique car. Jim Krueger shared the inserted flier.
