Pizza Night
The March 4th General Meeting was our
“Traditional Pizza Night” The Board revealed
the 2014 Planned Activities, the 2014 Membership Directory and Planner, the details of
the 2014 Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show
Display, as well as, various topics that arise
during the general meeting.
Everyone who attended chipped in $5.00 per
person and was given six 50/50 tickets. Additional 50/50 tickets were available for purchase during the meeting as well. After we did
the normal 50/50, the board surprised the
members with some “prizes” of “unspeakable
value” too! They ranged from L.E.D. flashlights, a Thunderbird coffee mug, a T-Bird
Model Kit, some car care items, Day backpacks, and even a couple travels bags. Every
one in attendance almost walked away with
something. So come join in on the fun as we
never know what will might happen at our
2014 General Meeting!

President’s Message
Greeting Fellow T-Birders,
Mother Nature is teasing us. This weekend being in the fifties with brilliant sunshine is
a reminder that Spring is only a few weeks away. Enough already with the snow!
Pizza Night was a success and I am looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming
events.
Time to get our cars out and get to the Shows!
Happy T-Birding !
Mike

A Message from the Board
Thank You for renewing your Memberships in a timely manner. The membership fees provide the
funds for the various activities we do within our club. For this renewal period we have been able to
hold the cost down, but many of our costs, like postage, subscription fees and internet support cost
are rising and we will most likely have to raise our renewal fees for the 2015 Calendar year. We will
continue to do our best to minimize the increase,.
As we mentioned in the previous newsletter, 2014 will be a fun season. Page 5 has our Planned
Activity List, but, as more shows release their information, we will keep you posted on the latest
activities as they arise.
Also, shortly you will be receiving a Club Directory. This will be mailed out in the beginning of April. If
you attended “Pizza Night” , your directory will be replaced too, as several changes have been made
to it.
A Message from the Editors
Well, 2014 is here and we wanted to share some goals we set for us (Yep, that’s Tom and Vince) to
do this year. First, once all the membership renewals are in, we will publish a club directory for each
member that will include your name, address and phone number along with your Thunderbird year ,
model and color.
Our second goal is to get a new website up and running, providing each member with their own
email address….BUT you still need to access a computer to utilize this benefit….so come on, laptops
are cheap, as tablets become “The Norm”.
And our third goal is to improve communication of club activities ( yes, yes and timeliness of the
newsletter too). We are always open to your suggestions and ideas, so don’t be bashful, let us
know! Our phone numbers and email addresses are listed all over the THUNDERWORD.
