From the President’s Desk

It's a great time to be a Tennessee Valley Mustang Club member!

Mark your calendar; we have a fun filled April. I would like to remind everyone of the Car Show at

West Towne Christian Church this weekend on the 8th. This is always a great show, and the

proceeds benefit the Youth for their Mission Trip. They also have an inside garage sale that the

ladies love. Donna usually fills the trunk.

On the 15th

, we will be doing the Pony Ride, followed by dinner and the movie Fate of the

Furious for our National Mustang Day event. We will meet @ 2:00pm at Carolina Ale. The movie

time is 7:00; feel free to order your tickets ahead of time. We will eat at Calhoun's @ Turkey

Creek; Donna will call ahead for seating. We did this event 2 years ago, and everyone seemed to

enjoy it. Also, Bristol Food City Race Day is April 21st.

Looking forward to you seeing at one or all.

Also, I would like to remind you of Streetside Classic Cars’ show on May 13th in Nashville. We

encourage you to attend; the proceeds raised from registration will be donated to our club. We

will have a group going Friday night and a group going Saturday morning. Donna is working on a

group rate for Friday night the 12th. She will have more details at the meeting.

I also got an email from Ponies in the Smokies; they will be back in 2018. We would also like

to congratulate Jeremy and Renee Wiederspahn for their win at the 1st Ponies in the Smokies.

Congratulations!

Also please bring items to the meeting on Monday for the new raffle I know you all have

something in the closet you would like to get rid of let do some spring cleaning.

Sincerely,

Doug Loveday

(president)

Editor’s Note: Are we there yet?

That annoying question we have all heard has so many meanings as we enter this

month of April. As Spring unfolds with many changes, I challenge each of you to take a

step back to reflect and measure how much you’ve changed too. Has this year so far be

fulfilling? Have you achieved or made progress on your resolutions?

During my own reflections, I try to refer back to the teachings of Christ and set aim to be more like how he taught us to be. No matter how hard I try, I continuously fail at

the goals I set and relapse to my old behaviors, often becoming subdued by

society’s role in teaching us to be complacent with fulfilling only our own

desires. I simply have to remind myself to reflect again and get perspective on what’s really important. Ultimately, I come back

around to the same set of goals: Be humble, selfless, and accepting of humility; be loving,

kind and slow to anger; be generous in giving as my wealth belongs to God; and be

faithful in my relationships with God, my wife and children, my family, my friends, my

community, and with mankind.

As Easter approaches, I challenge you to reflect on your goals and how you truly

measure up. What are your goals? Do you know what to measure? Are your “scales” properly calibrated? Are they in line with what you really need to truly be happy? I

firmly believe if we hold true to these values, a lot of problems in today’s society

will be eroded away with time, leaving behind a more beautiful world. The rest will

take care of itself.

So I ask again.. Are we there yet?
