And finally The Rocket City Mustang Club is a wonderful way for all of us to make friends, share experiences, and have a good time while sharing in our love for these timeless classics Mustangs. I am so impressed with how club members pull together in small-large groups to help out fellow members by offering a helping hand or advice whether it s carrelated or a personal issue. These great cars brought us together, but it s our great membership that keeps RCMC a step above the rest. Together, we have made a difference in many people s lives. Annually, our charitable donations have supported very deserving causes and the recipients know where the contributions came from..you! So let s keep driving forward, do some great things along the way, and just have fun! Peace and Happy Motoring.. Michael W. Liston President, Rocket City Mustang Club MCA #59637
