News from the Clubhouse by Marty Clegg, Secy/Treas
The regular monthly meeting of the Falls City Mustang Club was called to order
by President Steve Merritt on 15 July 2015. Sec/Treasurer Marty Clegg gave an
update of the club finances along with the closeout of the annual charitable
donations. The FCMC donated a total of $5250 this past budget year. Frank
Hayden, Early Model VP, spoke about the history of the GT package on Mustangs
starting with the 65-66 models. 1969 was the last year for a GT package until it
returned in 1982. The most notable feature of the 2005 GT package was the large
grill mounted fog lights. Brenda Clegg, Membership Chairperson, introduced new
member James McGuirk who owns a ’06 GT convertible. Frank Hayden, MCA
Regional Director, spoke about various MCA facts along with info that the MCA
Grand National Show in Columbus, Ohio on Labor Day weekend is sold out. Steve
asked how many regional charter clubs are in the MCA; Frank will look up this info
for a future meeting. Therese’ Hayden, Wellness Committee, spoke of the cards
sent to members including Paul Frisbee and Edna Sullivan. Cars shows recently
attended by FCMC members were the Queen City Mustangers pony trail and car
show, Backyard Classics car show and the New Washington Wrestling Boosters car
show. The club had a very good turnout for Steve and Nancy’s cookout on 3 July
and then again for the annual Sportsdrome Speedway outing on July 11. A couple
of upcoming FCMC outings are the breakfast and poker run at the Clegg household
hosted by Marty and Brenda and Steve and Nancy. Phil and Rose Ann Schieber
will host a cookout at their house on August 15. A few upcoming car shows to
mention are the Remax car show on Veterans Parkway on July 18, the Hoosier
Mustang open car show in Columbus, In on August 8, the Indy Mustang Club show
on August 22, and a car show at the Sportsdrome Speedway on September 13
benefiting the Dream Factory. The annual Vevay, In car show is September 19. In
regard to the new year donation budget, members decided to retain the $2000 ($500
quarterly) as in the past. Members can request charitable donations to Pat Gibson or
Jenny Frisbee. Bill Grant related a conversation he had with a member of a local
Camaro club regarding the fairness and professionalism of judging conducted by
FCMC members at the Huber’s Cops for Kids car show back in June. At this
point in the meeting, the election of officers took place. On the vacant Executive
VP position, Bonnie Cook was nominated, the nomination seconded and members
voted her to the position. All other officer positions were motioned to be retained;
members voted as such. Steve discussed his views of the Car Show Chairman
position. He felt the annual car show has been, and should continue to be
conducted by the members, with different members carrying out various aspects of
the show. Dining prior to the August meeting will be at the Bob Evans on State
Street in New Albany. Steve passed out to members some 2015 June show dash
plaques left from the show. Being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Also, with no business to conduct, no Board of Directors meeting took place.
