Pony News May 2018
W hat a busy month we have had? Parades, First Aid/CPR Training, Emergency Food Network, Mustang Birthday (party and later a
cruise), and of course our monthly meetings and dinners were all on the calen-dar for April. You will find it all in our club and in this issue of our newsletter. So right off the bat, THANK YOU to all who made all of those things happen.
Behind the scenes, Nancy Freeman and Hank Deck have been working to complete the paperwork for making Pierce County Mustang Club a Federal Nonprofit. Thank you so much for all the hard work by Hank and Nancy in get-ting our paperwork in and making it official. We have received federal nonprofit determination as a 501 c 7.
May brings us to a 3 Fs Cruise: Falls, Feudal, Farms and to a very important charity, pet food for Noah’s Pet Project. In addition to collecting food for the ani-mals in our homes it is time for the FORD DRIVE HUNGER AWAY collection of peanut butter for our local food bank. Bring your peanut butter to the May club meeting (any event if your can’t be at the meeting) and we will fill Korum’s col-lection vehicle with as much peanut butter as we can gather. A shout out to those people from other clubs that brought peanut butter to the Mustang Day event to contribute to our cause. Let’s out do ourselves!
Don’t forget that car shows are popping up now. And so it begins…….
April 28th—Mt Tahoma High School’s Car Show
May 5th—Bonney Lake High School’s Car Show
May 6th—Port Angeles
May 12th—Puyallup High School’s Car Show
May 17th—Clover Park
May 25th-27th—Richland
If all that isn’t enough, don’t miss the fun on Father’s Day at the Rainier’s Game, June 17th. Tickets are available now until May 15th at any club event or meeting. You may also purchase tickets to the Vintage Races so look for the flyer in the newsletter.
Life is always an adventure……
Let’s enjoy the ride together

Half the fun each time
we do this is finding
out what we will be re-

rots were on the menu
today followed by an-
other round of Aleve. Frozen, cold and with less jokes
(plenty of attempts), we completed 6200 lbs in 2 hours.
Great crew and a great cause.
Thanks to all that helped. Can’t
wait to see what October brings.

others will be the beginning of a hap-

PCMC General Meeting Minutes—Continued
We are 3 1/2 months way from Mustang & All Ford Round Up on August 12th at Griot's, we still have a lot to
do!
We need your help! Yes - YOU! Please check out the Volunteer Sign Up List, we have lots of areas that
need someone to help with. If you don't know what the position requires, please ask me. Try something new,
like being a Wrangler or counting ballots or selling 50/50 raffle tickets - it is all part of the adventure of a car
show. You get to help the club to be able to keep doing all the great and fun things we do....like cruises and
picnics and giving to local charities. Without your help, we would not be the awesome Pierce County Mus-
tang Club that we are.
We are still in need of raffle and goodie bag items - we will take anything, and I mean anything. It does not
need to be car related. Clean out those closets and check your garage for those items that you don't have a
use for or if you have more than one or maybe you found a great sale.....bring them to any PCMC event give
to a Car Show Committee or Board member.
Now is a great time to pre-register for the show. We still have 58 goodie bags and you can save $5 by regis-
tering early.
Thanks to the Car Show Committee - they are hard at work with t-shirts, dash plaques, trophies, printing &
more printing, finding sponsors, kid's goodie bags, raffle items, counting goodie bag items and much much
more! This small group of 10 people together organize the car show. If you would like to help, please join us
at Karen & Harley Edward's home on May 8 at 6:30 pm.
Thanks for your help,

1992 Red Convertible
I bought my Mustang new in 1992. It's a 5.0 with a manual transmission. In early 1992, I had started to think I wanted to buy a new Ford truck but my Dad pointed out that Mustangs were less than the price of a truck and a convertible was about the same as a truck. I was dumbstruck. I couldn't believe i could actually afford a piece of Americana and an icon, a Mus-tang. I immediately changed my sights. In my Mustang search,
3 things it had to have were a manual, a con-vertible and one solid monochromatic color. I found this car at Bird-well Ford in Centralia and bought it Labor Day weekend 1992.
Modifications (by Brad's Custom Auto in 2001)
are Baer brakes, 5 lug conversion, Ford Cobra R wheels, Griggs Racing torque arm and pan hard bar in rear and k member in front, Kenny Brown strut tower brace, jacking rails and sub frame connectors underneath. It also has Griggs thru the floor subframe connectors, it's stiff for a convertible. It also has coil overs, aluminum driveshaft, magna flow exhaust, mac air intake. The rest of the motor is untouched and has 201k miles on it.
My goal then, around 2001-2002, was to do the Silver State 100 but it didn't happen.
In 2002 I bought a house and the Mustang got put on the side burner for a couple of years which turned into 17 years before more mods were made. I have bought a Trick Flow top end kit and BBK headers but have yet to install them. Still thinking about a 331/347 short block to go under the new heads and the rest of top end kit. An aluminum radiator is about to go in
too. 5.0 badges were re-moved when I had it repaint-ed and also removed the middle 3 luggage rails on trunk to clean up the look in the rear. It has LX tail lights and 5 lug donut/ spare from a SN 95 Mustang in spare tire well.
I always like cars with subtle mods but keep the car's origi-nal silhouette as much as possible- the sleeper look except for wheels and tires and a different exhaust note.
If I had to pick a theme for my car it would be the sleeper/pro touring/ Hot Rod power tour kind of car once it's all done.
I enjoy being a member of PCMC I just don't make it to as many events as I'd like to, but every time I do, I am reminded what a great club it is.

Trying to keep up with Mustang news? Here are a few items to
check out.
From the March Mustang Times:
Did you know that you could create your own running pony? Per-
sonalize Your Pony experience is on Facebook. According to the
Times you can create it and use it to order clothing and limited-
edition grille badges for late-model Mustangs. I can already see the
checkers! Oh wait, my husband doesn't do Facebook!
Lego is adding a 1968 Mustang fastback race car.
2005—14 Mustang Airbag Recall—get it into your dealer and get
that driver side airbag replaced.
New this year as we have heard: “refreshed 2018 Mustang,” 2019
Bullitt, and a 700+ hp 2019 Shelby GT500—vroom, vroom.
Other News:
Are you a millennial? I certainly have far too much gray hair to fit
into that label but there may be a club for you if you are. First, you
are still welcome in ours!
You may have noticed that some cars have a RMR or a BMR, etc
besides the club logo. That stands for Red Mustang Registry or
Blue Mustang Registry, etc. Now there is a MMR, Millennial Mus-
tang Registry. Millennials were born from the mid 1980s to early
2000s. In case you are wondering. Their mission, “to unite millenni-
als who have a passion for their Mustangs, to make acquaintances
and to share the joy that Mustangs bring to our lives.” Check out
www.millenialmustangregistry.com if you want more information.
Keep sending me interesting news you have found.

Check out this Cool Tool:
Thank you Tom Rochefort for sharing this cool tool. It is a 12V Car Jump Starter and
Portable Power Bank by Winplus. It weighs under a pound and in that little package, that
Lori is modeling comfortable in her hands, you have an emergency jumper, including ca-
bles, for those unexpected times when you lose power. Like the time we left the trunk
open for displays during the Santa Parade and drained the battery. Or any time the ‘56
F100 sits and drains the battery. Wait... I need to head to Costco, Home Depot or some-
place and check these out for around $50. See ya!

GENTLE
REMINDER
Many car shows offer trophies or cash prizes to the club with the most cars registered.
With two clubs in Washington
using the initials PCMC it can
be confusing to those counting

Every Year in May, Ford Motor Company, includ-ing their affiliated dealers, collect peanut butter to fight child hunger. Korum Ford, teams with Ford Focus on Child Hunger, Fred Meyer on River Road, and North West Christian School to collect as much peanut butter as they can to contribute to the Puyallup Food Bank.
Ford’s official dates are from May 6-15 for this drive. When I spoke with Alex Javier, Marketing Specialist at Korum here is what he said:
It’s summer time and the kids are out of school! It’s exciting, but during summer some families don’t have access to school nutrition and need help with kid friendly food staples. You can help by donating a jar of peanut butter to help fight child hunger in our communities.
Since 2014, the Ford Peanut Butter Drive in our region collected over 180,000lbs of pea-nut butter.
In the last 5 years that has meant providing 3 million meals and snacks in the North-west.
As part of Pierce County Mustang Club work with Korum, we collect peanut butter throughout April and May handing over our donation at the May General Meeting. We are proud to contribute to this effort and have been able to contribute hundreds of pounds over the years. Last year we handed over 317 pounds.
According to the Korum website, the reason for col-lecting peanut butter is:
“It's the most expensive item and a staple item for the food bank.
It does not require refrigeration or cooking so it's easy to store and prepare for people of all ages.
Peanut butter is nourishing and its uses are versatile.”
According to information from Korum, the Puyallup Food Bank “feeds 1,600 families a month (every family gets at least 1 jar of peanut butter depending on family size). As stated above, many kids on free
and reduced lunches do not receive lunch during the summer while school is out, so the Puyallup Food Bank can feed those children during the summer.
Part of our club purpose is to be of service to the community. This is a great way to contribute and support our biggest sponsor and the builders of our beautiful cars as well as provide food for families in
our local com-munities.
Let’s see if we can’t beat last year. Since I have been with the club, that seems to be the most we have collected. Can we do better, 350 pounds or even 400?
See you on the road….don’t forget to wave!

March Club Events
Cruising with the Club:
Mustangs Not Required, Enthusiasm Is!
A little liquid sun-shine doesn’t scare us! All in all it was-n’t that bad. We were able to be dry during Tacoma,
Puyallup and Sumner parades. A few drops caught up to us in Orting, but a great day. We started out with 14 Mustangs. Thanks to Lakewood Ford for “loaning” us a convertible and to Korum Ford Lincoln for “loaning” us a convertible and a coupe so we could fulfill our commit-ment to the Daffo-dil Organization. Thanks also go out to Dale Hart-man from the Pa-cific Cascade MC for helping us out with his Legend Lime convertible and to Kenneth Fletcher and Chris-tian Inscoe, co-workers of member Greg Robbins, for driving the Korum loaner and Greg’s car (so Greg could drive a loaner) and to Rick Nordlund for driving the Lakewood loaner. Without their help we would not have been able to drive all of the princesses, Teachers of the Year or the special VIP’s.
Thanks to eve-ryone who signed up and drove in the pa-rade. Some drove 2 legs, some 3 and most drove all 4 legs of the pa-rade. Thank you to Nancy for taking endless photos through-
out all 4 parades.
Thanks to Terry and Debby Howells for opening up their business, Burger Ranch in Tacoma, supplying us with donuts, coffee and bathrooms so we could have a central meeting place before heading to our staging area in Tacoma.
Thank you to Heidi Geise for putting together the ever changing chart of who’s driving who and gra-ciously smiling and rolling with the many changes and never ending parade of teachers and VIP’s showing up that did not confirm earlier! Thank you Heidi. And thank you to Missy Willert for making the phone calls and sending emails so that we could get all of our club and friends there to drive.
If you don’t know, this year was the 85th Daffodil Parade. This year’s queen came from Lincoln high school in Tacoma. Go Abe’s!
Thankfully the only mis-haps were a little cruise within a cruise on our way to stage in Ta-coma to start the day and a self locking Mus-tang II after the Orting parade. But everyone got where they needed to be and were able to get back into their running car.

We got a great big thank you from the parade or-ganizer and teacher organizer for all the efforts we put forth to meet all the parade needs including those last minute ones. That is thanks to the flexibil-ity of all of our drivers and participants.
Time spent with beautiful cars and good friends rain or no rain is al-ways a great time well spent. Until next year...

PCMC First Aid Training April 14
On April 14th a few mem-
bers showed up at Lake-
wood Ford to update, re-
new or get for the first time
their 1st Aid / CPR cards.
Cheryl Brown taught the class and Lakewood gra-
ciously opened their conference room for us to use.
What a beautiful facility and friendly staff.
All 7 of us got certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED
use. It was incredibly useful information, some up-
dates, and the usual
fun time while seri-
ously taking in the
knowledge and
practicing the skills.
We are all safe with this crew trained.

National Mustang Day: April 22
Happy 54th Birthday!
Submitted by Heidi Geise
We started the planning for this event in November of
2017. Can we pull off a simple but significant showing of
our favorite cars? Can we get other clubs to join? Where
do we park? So many questions not the least of which
was, what will the weather be like in April in the Pacific
Northwest?
We did get
other clubs to
join, 9 clubs!!!
From western
Washington
and northern
Oregon.
Pierce County Mustang Club
Pacific Cascade Mustang Club
Mustangs West
Mt. Hood Mustang Club
Mustangs Northwest
Vancouver Mustang Club
Wicked Stangs
Outlaw Mustang
North Olympic Mustang Club
Mustang Renegades of Washington
As well as some non-club cars
We did find a place to park the expected 100 plus
Mustangs. It turned out to be 162 cars parked at
LeMay America’s
Car Museum
(ACM) where they
graciously provid-
ed us with parking
in front of the Mu-
seum and on their
show field and with
discounted tickets
to enter the Museum if we wanted to. With over 300
cars in the Museum that change often, few passed
up that offer. There was food on the show field and a cof-
fee vendor (this is the Pacific Northwest after all). Clas-
sics by Pacific Grill provided food and On the Grind
253 provided
coffee.
As far as the
weather and
whether we
could pull that
off, I will let the
photo’s tell the
story. But can you say….BEAUTIFUL.
Each club did their own club cruises. Western Washing-
ton was roaring with Mustangs all over the place as they
found their way to
ACM from separate
starting points.
Thanks to all that
made this event hap-
pen both in the clubs
and the Museum.
That includes my hus-
band who planned our club’s cruise of an expected 25
cars that became 49 cars and listened to me worry about
all the usual planning issues for months.
Now on to car show season. See you all there!
