It was extremely well organized and everything from moving the cars to setup, appearance, attendance and the weather was excellent! We couldn't have had a better day and all your hard work paid off. We really appreciate what the club and the car show does for the dealership and Ford. Congratulations on another successful year and one of the best shows yet! Thanks, Chris

I have to say…….. Simply amazing! Yes, the spring show was an
outstanding success. It ranked among one of the best shows ever. Why
was that? I’d have to say it’s because many members that have never
volunteered to work stepped up. Not to mention all of those that step
up year after year. THANK YOU! I also have to say I very much appreciated the help and support we
received from AVF. I personally have never witnessed such a smooth new car move in the years that
I’ve been a member.
I did observe a few things I believe we can improve on. To name a few, we probably could have
manned the show car entrance a little earlier and made sure they had supplies such as sticky notes
for class I.D. on the windshields. A few more people to assist with show car parking earlier in the day.
But all in all an exceptional show!
I believe we have made significant progress and built on past success in running the show. The
Registration went to the computer this year. I was told this was a significant time saver. I believe
another nice touch this year was members at the exit gates thanking people as they left. Thanks to
those members that assisted in that effort. My vision when I volunteered to chair was to have
someone take responsibility for each aspect. A person to oversee each specific segments, co-chair for
parking, registration, pre-class and so on. That person could also do any of those jobs but assist in
signing volunteers for each of the positions.
We plan to meet soon to discuss possible changes and improvements. I heard many times the food
line was too long. Some classes are too large. Not enough people parking show cars early on. Why is
there Chevy powered vehicles in an all Ford powered show? The show is too long. Again, all of you
should feel major accomplishment as the show this year was one of our best. But I truly believe we
can improve on it.
I plan to continue as show chairmen next year. Can we top it? I think we can!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks again for all your hard work on the car show. It was extremely well
organized and everything from moving the cars to setup, appearance,
attendance and the weather was excellent! We couldn't have had a better day
and all your hard work paid off. We really appreciate what the club and the
car show does for the dealership and Ford.
Congratulations on another successful year and one of the best shows yet!
Thanks,

Wounded Warrior Family Support
I met with Ron Julianelle, the High Five Tour Coordinator and Colonel John
Folsom from the Wounded Warrior Family Support on Monday, June 6, in their
office in Omaha, NE. We had a very good conversation about the WWFS and
High Five Tour. We went to lunch and they invited me to an event on Tuesday
night that the car would be at. It was a very good turnout. I met a few of the
members from the Omaha Mustang Club. Two of the members of that club are
going to be bringing the Mustang GT 350 to Apple Ford Lincoln in Apple Valley
on Monday, July 11. That same night we will hold our monthly club meeting at
the dealership. They feel bad that they would not be able to have the car for
our August show. They will still try to make that happen next year. I am going
to get information for the 2017 season, if anyone is interested, to take the car to
some of their events. This may or may not be a Mustang. Chris Gulbrandson
and Brian McCulley, from the dealership, are very excited about having the car
at Apple Ford Lincoln
and for us to have our club
meeting at their dealership.
Mike Ackerman
PS: I was on my way to a
job I was working at so I
thought I would stop by.
My job took me to prison
but they did let me back
out. J
The 7th Annual High Five Tour will be at Apple Valley Ford on
Monday, July 11, 2016 from 5 to 7 PM. They will be driving the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350. Mark your calendars, come and sign the
