Dear Fellow Mustang Enthusiasts, With Spring arriving in four or five days our thoughts turn more and more to cruising in our Mustangs. Some of us are attending the MCA National in St. Augustine, FL April 15-17 followed by a cruise to Dearborn, Michigan April 22-24 to the HJ Ford Museum and the Flat Rock Assembly Plant where my Mustang was built. Our All Ford Power Show Charity Event in June will be at Shultz Ford’s new location, which is very close to the current location. This is the Club’s main charity event so please plan to attend and help out with donations and running the show. For those members not going to the MCA National in April, Tim B. will be organizing a “Cruise your Mustang on April 17th”, so get in touch with him to participate in celebrating the Mustang’s birthday. Mustang night at the Northway Starlite cruise will be July 29th and we will follow it up with a GPMC volunteer night there on Friday, August 19th. Keep an eye on the club website for upcoming Spring and Summer events. The Vintage Grand Prix is coming up in July. It is a great charity event and always a great time, with a lot of cars and enthusiasts. GPMC will be setting up tents overlooking the racetrack with food and drink and for a small fee you can park your Mustang on the show grounds with other Mustangs. I am sure some members have great ideas for activities. Share them with the board or AD Tim. Also, if you have an article for the newsletter, please forward to Scott. Jennie B. is still looking for new pictures and information of recent events for the GPMC website. Got pictures of cruises, events or your car, do not forget to send them in. Hope to see all 131 and counting members at our next meeting on April 6th at Harmarville Kings. As always we would like to hear from you, brand new or long-time members for any suggestions for improving Your Club. As always, your Officers and Board would appreciate your ideas and help. Prepare to Cruise, Mark

Next Meeting - Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at Kings, Harmarville Board Meeting 7:00 pm, General Meeting 7:30 pm

Tim the Tour Man’s Activities Round-Up Activities Update for April 2016 The major activity coming up in April is the Henry Ford Museum trip slated for the weekend of April 22-24. There's still time to get in on this fun and informative trip, if you want. Just email Tim at activities@gpmc.org to get all of the information. April 17 is, of course, the birthday of the Ford Mustang. There is a national push to have an event on what is being billed as National Mustang Day. I am looking into the possibility of doing a short cruise with a stop at an ice cream stand. So keep Sunday, April 17th open for the possibility of an event. I'll be in touch as soon as something solid is worked out. Thanks, Tim Small News

The LEGO Mustang is now in stock at Down the Road Marketing (and other places too) The LEGO Mustang is now available in the LEGO Company Stores, usually located in malls, selling for $14.95.

Lessons learned: None Submitted again this month - Come on, someone in the group must have something to share!
