News from the Clubhouse by Marty Clegg, Secy/Treas
The regular monthly meeting of the Falls City Mustang Club was called to order by
President Steve Merritt on 15 April 2015. Sec/Treasurer Marty Clegg gave an update of
the club finances after passing out copies of the treasurer’s report to everyone. Frank
Hayden, Early Model VP, spoke about the advantages of insuring your classic Mustang
through a company that specializes in classics, such as Heacock, Hagerty, etc. Frank
also informed us all that Marti Reports are now available on Mustangs up to model year
2007. Brenda Clegg, Membership Chairperson, announced new members Tom and
Laura Cooper of Jeffersonville who own a ’73 Mustang convertible. Frank Hayden,
MCA Regional Director, spoke about the MCA Grand National Show in Columbus,
Ohio on Labor Day weekend. Supposedly, the show field is full and some FCMC
members are on a waiting list to get into the show. Therese’ Hayden, Wellness Liason,
told of cards sent to several FCMC members. Steve spoke about the recent Mustang
Birthday Bash at Jim O’Neal Ford; the weather was quite nice which contributed to
nearly one hundred Mustangs on site, including several ’15 models. Steve also
announced several upcoming shows and events to include the Huntingburg, In car show
this Saturday, April 18, the Frankfort Pony Car Roundup on April 25, the DCMC
Mustang Birthday Bash on April 26 at Bill Collins Ford, Hoosier Mustang Club
Mustang Birthday Bash at Bob Poyner Ford in Seymour on May 2, the Orleans, In
parade also on May 2, and finally the Crusade for Children car show on June 6. Frank
will get additional info on the Crusade for Children show and pass on to everyone. The
annual FCMC/DMC road rally will be held May 17; details will be forthcoming soon.
Steve asked Bill Gibson to setup the annual club outing at the Jeffersonville
Sportsdrome Speedway on July 11. In regard to quarterly donations, Pat Gibson sent to
Marty the info for the two donations voted on last meeting. On the annual April by-law
review, no one requested any changes or additions to the by-laws, so a motion and vote
was made to keep them the same another year. Discussion then turned to the annual
June car show. Phil Schieber brought several proposed designs for the dash plaques.
The proposals were passed around for all to view then a vote was taken for the most
favorite. The Jeffersonville Meijer store has donated a $350 gift card to be used
towards the purchase of a TV for the car show raffle. With the gift card, two televisions
were purchased along with a number of door prizes. Raffle tickets for the two TV’s
were distributed to members. Janet Grant asked about starting judging as soon as
participants were ready rather than waiting until a predetermined time as before. Frank
and Steve agreed that would be beneficial to participants as well as helping the judges
complete their jobs earlier. Dining prior to the May meeting will be a Chick Fil-A on
State Street in New Albany. The $25 cash drawing was won by Bill Gibson. Being no
further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Due to the absence of several board members, no board of directors meeting was
held this month.

June Car Show
Granted it is early in the new year, but the FCMC is moving full speed ahead with plans for our annual car show
at Jim O'Neal Ford on June 20. A few things you can do as a member to help with the success of the show would be
to seek out potential sponsors. We can always use monetary sponsors, but something a bit easier to get is asking
businesses to sponsor a trophy. A single trophy sponsorship is $25 and the trophy will have the sponsors name on it
plus be announced by the DJ at the car show throughout the day. Potential sponsors could be real estate companies,
tire dealerships, doctor/dentist offices, contractors, insurance offices, body shops, florists, etc.; anywhere you do
business and maybe know the owners or managers. Another item always needed for the car show are gift certificates
to use as door prizes. These could come from any of the many local restaurants, bakeries, groceries, department
stores such as Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Kroger, etc. Businesses such as Auto Zone, O'Reilly's, Advanced
Auto and NAPA are a good source for door prize items like car care products as well as gift certificates. Sponsor
request letters have been sent to a number of national auto related companies seeking monetary sponsorships.
Anything you can do as a member to support our annual car show will be greatly appreciated. Sponsor request forms
are now available, either at the monthly meetings or can be sent to you via e-mail.
Thank you

A CALL FOR JUNE SHOW JUDGES
Dear FCMC Members:
Our June 20th show is coming up fast & we need judges. Last year we had a
great group of both experienced & first time judges. Everyone did a terrific job. If
you would like to judge at this year’s show please send your name & contact
information to Frank Hayden at this email address:
[email protected]
Are you an experienced judge? Great. We would love to have your help. Not an
experienced judge & want to try judging? That is great too. We will be pairing
experienced judges with first time & less experienced judges to help show
anyone who wants to judge how to do it. You will have an experienced judge
teaching you & backing you up as you judge & learn how to judge.
In order to help us set up assigned judging teams we are requiring all
show judges to register in advance.
Names need to be submitted by Friday May
judges meeting at 9:00 on the day of the show.
22.
There will be a required
We have made some improvements for this year’s judging to try to make life a
little easier for the judges. We will definitely be having at least 2 judging teams
for the car exteriors this year & we are moving judging tires & wheels to the trunk
section to try to lighten the load for the exterior judges. We will also be
announcing early in the show (like 8:30-9:00) that anyone ready to be judged
should put out their cards. We will begin judging any cars with cards on the
windshield at 9:30 or 10:00 --- a 2 hour head start. Our hope is that we can get
more of the judging done before the show field gets too hot. None of these
changes are earth shattering but that is the reason we are setting up teams in
advance & the reason for the 9:00 judges meeting day of show. We want to do
everything we can to support our judges & make the show as enjoyable an
experience as possible not only for our participants but for our judging staff as
well.
So, if you can help us, sign up by May 22nd & come out June 20th to lend a hand.
Thanks. Frank.
