DVMA - Fourth of July Parade in Concord
DVMA had FIVE cars in Concord’s Fourth of July Parade! Cars were decorated with flags and bunting and
polished to shines while waiting to be called. DVMA was listed as Entry #35 and moved into the parade line at
10:35 am. Ed Guldner in his 1973 metallic blue convertible; Juan and Norma Renteria in their black 2013 GT;
Karen Davis in her blue 2006 GT; Christopher Theodorou in his 1990 black LX hatchback 302; and John and
Anne Haugrud in their 2007 white Shelby 500. The route lined up at Mount Diablo High School on Grant
Street and then went out and around Todos Santos Plaza, returning on the back side of the high school. There
were people and children everywhere, with lots of red, white, and blue. Juan got a standing ovation when the
group passed his workplace and co-workers. This was a great event and a fun morning. Most of the group
went to Black Bear for breakfast or lunch following the Parade.

DVMA DISPATCH
Feed Bag page 3
This is the month to elect 2017/2018 officers for DVMA. Do you have
ideas about the direction and leadership of our club? Are you willing to
be part of the future of DVMA? Officer elections will be held at the Au-
gust meeting. Ed has emailed information and instructions to all mem-
bers about due dates and election rules.
Sister Ann of Bay Area Crisis Nursery was our guest speaker at the July
meeting, and DVMA presented a check for $500 to Sister Ann for
BACN. She was a gracious speaker and recounted a few stories from
some of the families that have been helped at BACN. The raffle was
changed to support Bay Area Crisis Nursery, and the winner Jim donated
his portion to BACN. Ed matched donations and members were excited
about DVMA’s support of BACN.
DVMA had a good showing in the Fourth of July Parade in Concord, and
it was another fun day. Many thousands of people were on the sidewalks
along the parade route and waved to entrants. Flags were in abundance.
Thanks to Karen for organizing this event. Put it on your calendar for next year.
Cool Concord Cars on July 11 was another fun event, organized by Elizabeth Cofer. Many members en-
joyed the opportunity to park their Mustangs on the streets around Todos Santos Plaza.
As everyone knows, there was a huge fire near Yosemite, with damage in Oakhurst and El Portal shortly
before the planned day trip to Yosemite on July 22. Hwy 140 was closed and social media reported that
smoke was everywhere. Our day trip to Yosemite was canceled and will be rescheduled at a later time in the
Fall.
Enjoy breakfast on August 5 after Adopt-A-Street with DVMA members. Have a wonderful month and I
will see you at our meeting on August 9.

COOL CONCORD CARS JULY 11, 2017
For the last several years DVMA has participated in the Cool Concord Cars event at Todos Santos Plaza sponsored by the city of
Concord. Our own Elizabeth Cofer is the organizer and often asks our members to help with parking. Several of us showed up and
let our Mustang pride shine—Hugh Blackwell, Chris Theodorou, John and Anne Haugrud, Juan and Norma Renteria, and Ed
Guldner. This show is a Mayor’s Choice award and John and Chris attempted greasing the palm of the show organizer to up their
chances of a win, but the trophy went to someone else anyway. Nice try, guys. Several of us drowned our disappointment in pasta
afterward at the Old Spaghetti Factory—love that spumoni ice cream!
Lots of variety The fix is in! Hugh’s baby
Where are you Norma? We want to eat! Juan’s black beauty You did say they have spumoni, right?

Another On-the-Spot Report From July 4th Parade Central
by Anne Haugrud
The city of Concord really knows how to celebrate July 4th. The enthusiasm and patriotism displayed on America’s birthday was
absolutely palpable as parade entrants took their places in line and added festive touches of red, white and blue for the upcoming
parade. We had a total of five cars and 10 members buffing and shining up their vehicles to impress the large crowds that lined the
streets surrounding Todos Santos Plaza. Kim and Ken Hendrix (came to cheer us on), John and Anne Haugrud, Juan and Norma
Renteria, Chris Theodorou, Ed Guldner, and Harry and Karen Davis. were all present and proudly representing our club. And the
crowds were definitely impressed with our display of American Muscle. The biggest cheers came when one of our group would rev
their engine to give them a taste of what these Mustangs are capable of. Let’s just say the crowd displayed a lot of thumbs-ups and
shouts of appreciation. Karen Davis led our group in their Mustang while Harry rode his motorcycle with the captain of last year’s
girls’ water polo team (remember we supported that team) behind him as he rode with his motorcycle club—Harry and Karen are
BUSY people!
