She is still fighting an infection and Hilbert himself is having trouble with his back but plans to come to our show and help. Please let Emily Griffith, Cara Morrell, or Bonnie Sawyer know if you or anyone in your family is ill, hospitalized or has another emergency. We also would love to know of exciting happy things to share so please let us know of new grandchildren, engagements, weddings, or promotions at work. We wished Judi Mitchell a Happy Birthday. She was the only one of our members present at the meeting who is having a September Birthday. John & Marlene Butler took their Mustang to the MCA Mickyard show and brought home what has to be the most delightful trophy of all times with Mickey Mouse on the top! Congrats to you John and Marlene. For those of you who do not have email, Emily will mail a post card reminder of cruise information and the meeting date at least a week prior to the meetings or other gatherings.

THE PONY EXPRESS PAGE 2 15TH ALL FORD SHOW Kurt, Terry Thompson, JC Edwards, and Greg Griffith recently met with Doug Barbour to discuss our upcoming car show on October 12. Doug explained that the dealership on Market Street would not be available for our show after this year s show. The main showroom is being renovated in preparation for the Nissan Dealership taking possession but we will be able to use the detail shop on the site for our staff preparations and show administration for this year s show. We will have our hospitality area set up in there and the show staff will have access to a rest room in this building. We will rent facilities for the show participants. Kurt also explained that for the 2014 show we will be selling raffle tickets to give away a 2015 Mustang! He has challenged us to sell 1,000 tickets at $50 per ticket. We will begin selling at this year s show and sell throughout the year. This will be a special raffle and it should not be difficult to sell 1,000 tickets in a year s time. We will also make the tickets available on line using PayPal with a limited number reserved for sale at the 2014 show. We are still in need of some large vendors for this year s show but we do have several already committed to attending. Please call Kari ASAP if you talk to someone who would like to be a vendor. The Ford Merchandising Truck will be onsite again for our show. The folks that bring the truck assured Kurt that he will have plenty of the next great item available for us to purchase since we purchased all of his Pink Jackets last year. At our next meeting on Sunday, October 6, we will hold our in house show where we judge our own cars. This gives our judging teams an opportunity to rehearse for the next week and since we do not enter our cars in the show it gives us a chance to have a little show fun too. The location of the October meeting is still in flux due to the renovations that will be in progress at Market Street. Keep an eye on the website, emails, (and postcards) for further information to come. To reiterate, we will not be able to use this location for the 2014 show and there are several possible locations being investigated. We have a possible lead on an area at UNCW for our show. We will keep everyone updated as things progress. Kurt has the volunteer sheets and those lists are included in this newsletter. If you are not on a list, find the spot that you feel that you can best help the day of the show and let Kurt know ASAP. We will meet the evening before our show to fix the goodie bags and other items that can be prepared in advance. If you are available please plan to come and help, as the old saying goes many hands make light work. Last year we had a large number of members attend and we were able to finish quickly. We will meet at the detail shop of the Market Street dealership at 6:00PM on Friday night October 11. Remember that we need the folks helping for the show to bring food and beverages for the staff to share during the day. We will need both breakfast and lunch items and easy to eat snacks. Bonnie will be having her Bake Sale as well so if you are a baker please consider bringing something for her to add to her wondrous baked goods. Terry, JC and Kurt before their meeting about our show. Marlene, John, and Mickey enjoy our meeting in South-
