Classic Cruiser Monthly Cruise In
Classic Cruiser/Bay Mustangs monthly cruise will take place this Saturday evening
(28th)at Sears Automotive. Parking will be on the East side of the building like last year. Cruise times are 6:00 to 8:00 but host members should arrive by 5:00 to help setup and move cars from the cruise area. See you there. Both Jeff and Bill will be out of town. The Bay Mustang Club will be doing the DJ work, with a special THANK YOU to the AMCC club for loaning the DJ equipment.
Club Business
At the last meeting, we agreed that we grant our proceeds from our car show to the Humane Society of Bay County and the Sheriffs Department (Special Olympics). We are making arrangements now to present these checks. The Panama City Humane Society is in dire need of money to stay open. Maybe we can have them come to one of our events and bring some animals that could be adopted. Can someone check on this for us?
We are still looking into an all club picnic. Anyone got suggestions for a place?
Member Ron Ricketts attended the Renegade Car Club cruise in last Saturday. Here is his quote. “Gaylon and I made the Renegade cruise last Saturday evening, due to the local rain we did not get there until 6:30 PM. They had a real good turn-out, especially for the small area they have at the BK and the bad weather. The most of the cars were from the newest club, Tricked-out Car Club. They had a DJ and played very good music, had several give-away gifts and the 50/50 was ~$230.00.
The club President Scott, was very nice and did a great job of parking all the cars in such a small area and making all the participants feel welcome. All in all, a very nice cruise for the circumstances.
We probably will to this one again.
