A member's shared experience.
I received an email from one of our members and with her permission I am sharing that email with You.
Just thought I would share with you a new surprising incident. Last week I received an email from the editor of Stang Magazine. Apparently it is a digital magazine that works off of Facebook. In the email he told me they wanted to include me and my Mustang in their anniversary edition of the magazine. He asked me to send him seven pictures of the car and to write two paragraphs about my Mustang and to include her name and details. I checked to see if he was for real and he is.
Well, the article is done and he sent me a copy of what will go in the magazine. I am sending you a copy of what he sent me. I don't know when it will be published. It might not even be until 2024 because I don't know when the anniversary date is. Anyway, I think it's fun!

Mustangs on the Track at Daytona Speedway
On July 14th, two of our Villages Mustang Club Members, Bob Fraser and Bob Kavalunas, along with 82 Mustangs from surrounding areas were invited to Daytona International Speedway for a special “Mustangs on The Track Day”.
Even though, the banked corners were blocked and had to go down low, both were able to drive up to 90mph! Although not as fast as they would have wanted to go, safety was a factor as there were over 20 cars on the track at the same time.
Both club members had a great time at the Speedway and also enjoyed other attractions in the Daytona area.

We had a wonderful time, blue skies and sunshine, an absolutely beautiful day.
90 people were interested in this event; however, there were 65 club members that attended and 16 of them were brand new members thus being their first Mustang luncheon cruise. 33 Mustang cars traveled to Tavares via back roads to the Lake Harris Hide-a-Way restaurant. A seaplane landed and parked at the restaurant while we were there enjoying sitting outside by the water. Halloween candy was passed out as a "treat not a trick".

Truly an amazing support from The Mustang Club. The hardest for me was that I couldn't be by David's side to enjoy the moment. I couldn't be at the window because he wants to be outside with me. We have only been able to Face Time or Skype the past 2 months. I knew that this event would be a dream come true for David. Per the staff David enjoyed it immensely and so did the other residents. Our friends who were standing outside and our family and friends who viewed it live on Facebook were amazed at the turnout and support from your club. Everyone who knows David - knows that he is passionate for Mustangs.
Your members touched several hearts and I am very thankful for your support. Thank you for the Honorary membership. Thank you to the person who gave the Mustang etching.
I enjoyed the sound and sights of all the models of Mustangs and seeing the smiles on everyone's faces.
Always a lover of Mustangs,
