July 2025 Meeting Minutes.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00PM by President Duane Helzer. There were 21 members in attendance. Welcome to New Member Steve Murray and a Welcome Back to Doug and Jennifer Sperry. It was good to see Robbin Knight back on two feet, with just a bit of a wobble. And Berkeley, you are looking so much stronger. Keep up the good fight!
Michelle was out sick but she called in the Treasurer’s Report. We appreciate her not passing any germs along. Hope you feel better soon Michelle!
It’s been way too hot for much in the way of car shows, but the Cars & Coffee gatherings are still moving forward. However, they seem to be at much earlier hours. To beat the heat most people are showing up at or BEFORE the crack of dawn. What those die hards won’t do to gather and share their cars and stories.
We received a lovely Thank You note from Mental Health Heroes. It feels good when our help and contributions are acknowledged by those they affect.
The Bibles traveled to Cincinnati Ohio for the Regional MCA Show and received another Gold! We knew Rich & Melva would have a beautiful car to show. Melva also learned of a project the Cincinnati club is doing to promote getting young people involved not only in Mustangs, but in the entire car world. It’s definitely a large endeavor, but if it keeps the appreciation for cars alive, it is worth their effort.
Larry Hawkins investigated the costs of having the Lowcountry Mustang Club sponsor a Little League Team. Sounds like a great way to invest in the youth of our community and for $250.00 it’s well worth it. A motion was made and seconded and the vote was for us to become an Official Sponsor. BATTER UP!!! More news on “our” team as we receive it.
Duane is already working on his “new” 1965 Mustang purchase. And in this heat, he is offering a way for anyone to join him in a quick weight loss program. Give him a call. He would enjoy the soggy company. Can’t wait to see this new addition in person.
Most of the meeting was discussion on our Fall Regional Show of October 25, 2025. The lot is secured, food is lined up, we are hoping for some fancier port-a-lets, and trophies are in process. Horseshoes are ordered and Ken Brinkman has ideas running through his head for another awesome design.
Pat Sylvestri has tweaked the Registration form, and the Show Committee has set a date to meet and go over assignments.
Mike Roach reported that his motorcycle group has offered their assistance if needed at our show. A wonderful offer, and we will definitely keep that in mind.
We will sorely miss Johnny & Rachel Garner at our show. They have been long standing participants and supporters at our show, but there is a conflict this year and they won’t be able to make it. And we were advised that their collection of cars is now up to 10!! Glad they have a big barn where they can all be stored.
Duane adjourned the meeting at 7:40PM.
Respectfully submitted: Linda Batdorff, Secretary
