2010 International Mustang Meet Update

Hello everyone from the Ford Central Car Club, here is the latest update we are sending out to give all 2010 International Mustang Meet registrants and potential registrants a heads up as to what we have been doing while preparing to host the 2010 International Mustang Meet in Red Deer Alberta this coming September 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2010. We will also be posting updates on our club web page as well, please feel free to access it at www.fordcentral.ca.

First of all for anyone who does not already know the Host Hotel is the Capri Convention Centre located on the south hill of Red Deer, their web page link is www.capricentre.com and their toll free phone # is 1-800-662-7197. At this time they have approx 180 rooms already reserved for the International Mustang Meet which is pretty much our sold out block for the hotel, I have talked with the management and they do have a limited number of rooms (maybe 20 or 30) which is outside of our 180 room block that you can still phone in and reserve, these rooms are rooms that the hotel did hold back for there regular customers but they will still rent them out to the public but just remember these rooms are outside of our International Room Block , if you do not wish to stay at the host hotel or you cannot obtain a room at the Capri there is 2 alternative hotels listed on our registration form which is also attached to this email , but please book your hotel as soon as possible and advise all other potential attendees to do the same.

The actual show will also be held in the Host Hotels parking lot. As far as registration numbers go as of today we have approximately 176 cars already preregistered, there is a registration form attached to this email, please feel free to print it and forward it to as many people as you can, also as everyone knows we cannot express enough how important it is for everyone to submit their preregistration forms as soon as possible so that as a host club we can get as much lead time as we can as to planning and laying out our parking lot and numbers of cars per class , PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PREREGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !

The draw for the Free Hotel Room was won by Brian Scarrow of Calgary, thank you Brian for preregistering and congratulations on winning the room. We are working with the hotel and trying to obtain another free room and if we succeed we will make another draw out of all of the preregistered cars as soon as we know for sure.

So far all the plans with the hotel seem to be proceeding in good order and as of this time they have been more than accommodating and willing to work with us to meet our every need, we are also in the final stages of setting our events schedule, as soon as we have it finalized we will be posting it on our web page. We also have our committees working on and putting the final touches on the trophies, and dash plaques, sponsorship and door prizes is also proceeding as planned and is on going. Hopefully by the time we send out our June update we will have the finalized events agenda for everyone to review. Please feel free to email or phone us with any questions, concerns or suggestions at anytime. We are all looking so forward to seeing everyone at this meet and encourage everyone preregister, prebook your hotel rooms and contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions. Thanks again from FORD CENTRAL and we are so looking forward to seeing everyone in September!

Let me start by saying that I have been sick for a few days, so I apologize in advance if this month’s message seems a little dull; my mind is feeling less than sharp at the moment! As I started this month’s message I realized that there isn’t a lot of news to pass along this month!

First off, I would like to thank Barb Royer for jumping in at the last minute at last month’s meeting to perform as Super Secretary once again… I guess there are things you never forget how to do, hey Barb? Thanks again for pitching in!

In relation to the minutes, you will see in this month’s edition that there were a number of nominations and volunteers who stepped forward at that October meeting to run the club in 2010, which is fantastic! If you are getting this via email, you still have a bit of time to get involved in running the club, but now is the time! The 2010 Executive Committee will be chosen at the November meeting, so if you’re interested please come to the November meeting…and even if you aren’t planning on taking a position come out and support those that are!

Also, the Red Deer Club now has the 31st IMM registration form on their website, along with a lot of other news. Their planning is well underway and although it seems the IMM is so far away, it will be here before we know it, so if you are going, please make all your reservations as soon as possible. You will not only be helping the host club, but you will also ensure you aren’t disappointed!

Finally, in relation to the 2009 AMOA Christmas Party, if you have already contacted Barb to reserve your spot, don’t forget the big day is December 5th! The Laugh Spot is a great place and our group is bound to have a great time there! If you have any questions about this event, please contact Barb Royer!

Well that’s about it for this month!

Until next time…

Deb Taylor
The Pink Prez!
