Annual Chili Supper
President’s Pony Notes
By RJ Coberly
Happy New Year to all – I hope 2015 will be all you want it to be and a great
year for all of us! It will be an action packed year for the Mustangs and club members
will have many events and choices throughout the year. World of Wheels is now just
around the corner, and planning continues as we look forward to our new Cruise Night
location at Sam’s Club at the Legends. Annual Show committee meetings are well underway and planning is just where it needs to be for another successful show. Our
continued involvement with WWFS is underway, and of course there are numerous
local and national shows that are on the radar and will be communicated and coordinated accordingly. And to those traveling to Tucson in March for the first MCA National Show of 2015, have a fun, safe trip and “bring home the gold.”
Our membership is strong. 2015 renewals were very good, and we are pleased
to welcome several new members to our ranks. Our first meeting for 2015 is January
18th at the Bristol Hill United Methodist Church, so be sure to attend to catch up from
the holidays and meet new members.
We celebrated the holiday season and said farewell to 2014 in grand fashion at
the annual Christmas Party in early December. Thanks to Nona Hernandez, Sally Dold,
Rhonda Wojtowicz, Brenda Lea, and Nancy Bloom for successfully delivering this superb annual highlight in conjunction with Bass Pro.
On a personal note, Marilyn and I are planning to drive the black Mustang to Ft.
Lauderdale FL yet this winter. I should add we are taking the two dogs, and if at all
possible I hope to find a local car show that qualifies for the 5.0 Traveler Award. Admittedly, there are several “ifs” in this winter trip planned for a “fair weather” Pony!
It’s now the official time of year to keep those upgrades coming and wrenches
turning in preparation for Spring Thaw and “Mustang Season” (i.e. Spring, Summer
and Fall) so “have fun in your garage”! We are all looking forward to see what’s restored, new (2015’s??) and modified!

Social Report
By Sally Dold
Saturday, December 13 - Wreaths Across America - Several members and their families participated in the wreath laying event in Leavenworth,
KS. Everyone had a great time and some went to
lunch afterwards at the Santa Fe Depot. Thanks to
everyone who came out to this event.
Saturday, December 6 @ Bass Pro Shops, Olathe, Christmas
Dinner/Party. We had 77 people attend this year's festivities; and I
believe everyone had a GREAT time. We all enjoyed the good food
and gift exchange. We took in sizeable donations in the way of food
and cash donation to Harvester's and gifts for the Angel Tree program.
Saturday, December 20 was Salvation Army Bell Ringing at Crown Center, coordinated by John Bard. According to
John, our club raised over $500 at our two stations. It was a fun and productive day.
January
There are no social events for the club in January this year. I promise to make up for it in upcoming months! Stay warm.
February
World of Wheels at Bartle Hall is Feb 11-15. Details & signup sheets for volunteering at the event will be provided at the
January meeting. Cars for the club display have already been chosen, but we'll need volunteers to come man our booth.
This is where we usually acquire several new members.
If you have questions or to sign up for any event, please contact Sally Dold.

2014 Club Awards
Annual awards to recognize participation in Mustang Club of Greater Kansas City events
The Mustang Club of Greater
Kansas City has three awards that can
be earned by members through out
the year by participating in different
events with the club. The 289 High
Performance Award recognizes members of our club that attend a majority of the club events and activities
during the year.
It takes 289 points to earn
the award and points are earned by
attending meetings, being a committee member, going to cruise
nights, participating in shows and displays, attending special events and a
number of other ways. Each activity
has been assigned a point value and
the award earning time frame is the
membership year (November to October). A member can earn enough
points by just attending most of the
meetings and a couple of cruise
nights. It is a very reachable goal.
We had 33 member families
attain the 289 award in 2014. This
year’s recipients are:
* Rich and Donna Angelet
Gary Allen and Pat Swope
John and Darlene Bard
* Dan and Sandy Bentch
Bill and Nancy Bloom

The Mustang Club of Greater Kansas
City is only as good as the participation of its members. Set a goal this
year: to attend meetings, a few cruise
nights and the show.
Thanks and congratulations go out to
this year’s awardees.
Judging
Clinics start in April
Club Head Judge Jack Bosic
has announced that he will start Judging Clinics in April. Jack encourages
members that would like to judge at
MCA National shows and are a MCA
member to go online and take the
certified judges test for one of the
classes you want to judge. When
you pass a test, you will need to judge
that class at an MCA show to receive
your certificate. One of the best classes to start with is the daily/
occasional driven cars. We will need a
lot of judges this year because we are
hoping for a large turnout.
If you have any questions,
please contact Jack.
