February 2006
Hello Ford and Mustang Enthusiasts!

I just got done looking at my calendar, and realized that I had better get this out to Colleen pretty soon as we have pushed the monthly meeting up to February 7.  I am still not sure why the 14th is such a bad time, Valentines Chili Cook-off and all!

I would like to thank Greg F for volunteering to be on the mid-month committee for 2006.  I have also asked/cajoled/coerced Dean S. and Tad B. to be on the committee also.  We are planning to have our first meeting in the near future to discuss what we would like to do, and what we need to do.   Thinking along those lines, we still need a committee chair for the All Ford Car Show, and hopefully some volunteers to help out the lucky person… Please volunteer so we can have another great event like last years’.

I received an email from Loren K. this month, letting us know that the polo shirts have arrived at “Sew What”.   Please call Roger at (701) 277-0920 to verify that your name is on the list, and verify the shirt size you need.  As we discussed, the polo shirts are yellow with royal blue lettering, and the club logo, and the cost is $20/shirt.

Brenda P. emailed me a couple of weeks ago also. Brenda wanted to let me know that the calendars are in, and that you can either call her to set up a time to get your calendar, or she will bring them to the meeting this month for distribution.

Kristina brought back newsletters and t-shirts from the Vintage Mustang Owners Association (VMOA) in San Jose, CA.  VMOA was very surprised that there were Mustangs up here, let alone a club up in the northland, and are interested in exchanging club memorabilia.  Elton is going to look to see what we have from our vintage collection to give them.

I am looking forward to seeing you all on February 7th.

Chad Parton, Prez.
