Officer s Note Summer-like weather lingered through late September and into October which offered some great opportunities for club members to get out and participate in two car shows, a couple of exciting road/track events, and our drive-in movie event. Looking ahead, November and December will give even more chances to have some Mustang Fun. By the way, I just saw where Mustang was named #1 Sports Car for the seventh straight quarter.woohoo! The point is whether you are participating in an event or just mingling around; your enthusiasm for these great cars is being noticed and, in turn, is a positive reflection on RCMC.the addition of several new members can be attributed to that! So keep watching your e-mail, the website, and the forum so that you can stay on top of YOUR club! Feel free to keep writing/calling with your comments and questions and I ll get you an answer.

And finally These first few months in office have been a challenge to say the least, yet exciting! So many issues and decisions, so little time seems to be the trend. And just about the time I feel like pulling out (what s left of) my hair, everything seemingly comes together and all is well. I truly appreciate the great advice and support club members have given me and in return I hope to keep setting a productive and fun environment that everyone can enjoy. I see great things ahead for RCMC as we head toward the close of 2007, and even better things in 2008. But I can only do my part.again, this is YOUR club so let s do some wonderful things together! Speaking of.our annual All-Ford Powered/Mustang Show in May 08 is closer than you think and we have to start preparing now. Several things have already been done or are in the planning stage and we ll need veterans and newcomers alike to make this show even better.so get ready.i feel some heavy e-mails (and lots of begging) coming on! Peace and Happy Motoring.. Michael W. Liston President, Rocket City Mustang Club MCA #59637
