Greetings Pony Lovers –
As I write this the Vernal Equinox is nearly upon
us, while the weather has taken a decidedly spring-
like turn. And switching to daylight savings time
definitely helps cure the winter blahs. Let’s hope
that March doesn’t decide to go out like a lion.
I misspoke in my March message. There are
actually three weeks between the Poker Run on
May 22nd
and the All Ford-Powered Show on June
12th
at Shults Ford-Lincoln. But it’s still going to
be a very busy time for the Club starting with the
Poker Run through Can-Am on June 24th
-26th
.
The overall agenda for Can-Am has been finalized
and everyone should have received a copy of the
flyer & registration form. Extra hardcopies of the
registration form will be available at all meetings.
If you register by May 21st it’s only $25/person, and
includes the river boat cruise, Saturday night dinner,
a dash plaque and a commemorative jacket patch.
There’s still a lot of work to do planning final Can-
Am details. So starting at the April meeting I’ll be
around asking many of you to volunteer for specific
jobs. Here’s a link to a ten-minute YouTube video
MVMC produced showing last year’s Can-Am:
http://www.youtube.com/user/mvmustangs95.
Does the GPMC have any budding filmmakers out
there?
On a sad note, I want to mention the tragic death of
Nick Cipa, son of long-time members Andi and
Kevin Cipa. Nick had long been ill with Evans
Syndrome, and the Club had chosen the Central
Blood Bank as our All Ford-Powered Show charity
three years ago to support the Cipa family. Nick
recently had been doing well, so his untimely death
was particularly sad. Our thoughts and prayers go
out to Andi and Kevin.
Jennie & I are sorry we missed you all at the March
meeting, since we decided to instead check out the
tsunami from Japan as it descended on Hawaii. But
we’re back now, so we look forward to seeing you
all at the next meeting on April 6th
.
Keep those motors runnin’,
