Greetings Pony Lovers—
It’s hard to believe summer’s already winding down. It seems like only yesterday we were having our Spring Stampede - and now the Fall Foliage Tour is just around the corner. Be sure to get those Ponies out as much as you can over the next few weeks, before the 2013 season is over.
A small, enthusiastic group of five members volunteered at our Starlite Service Night in August. The folks at Northway Christian Community were most appreciative for our assistance. Ponies made their presence known even though it was Chevy Nite.
We had a great turnout at the GPMC Night at the Races event at the Motordrome Speed-way. Someone there was filming while our
Mustangs were on the track. You can see the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPXA9e8V_lE
The track event at the Pgh Int’l Race Com-plex (the old BeaveRun) with the PACE Camaro Club on Sept. 28th HAS BEEN CAN-CELLED. Jeff and Denise hope to try the event again next year.
Based on advance registrations, our Fall Fo-liage Tour on October 19th looks to be a re-cord turnout. Tim informs me there are nearly 50 cars signed up, so be sure to let him know if you plan to attend.
It’s not too early to start thinking about elections. Terms are up for all five officers (President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer & MCA Rep,) Merchandise Director, Newsletter Edi-tor and two Board members. Please let Ed or me know if you’re interested in one of these positions.
We wrapped up our outdoor meeting sched-ule on September 4th in North Park. We’ll be back at King’s in Harmarville on October 2nd. We’ve arranged with King’s to have
more seating available, so let’s make sure we have a good turnout.
Keep those motors runnin’,
