Good Morning Midwesterners,
I'll make this brief for now, I'd started a thread a little while back looking for Mustang clubs in the eastern Iowa area, and didn't get much of a response. After some googling and searching around locally at shops and things like that, I found a few clubs, and tried them out. While the QC Mustang Club is about 85 miles away from home, they were the club that I eventually signed on to.
The atmoshpere of the club is very laid back, very much a gathering of enthusiasts who are more interested about sharing the Mustang experience than they are about the 'Order of Business' and 'Making motions and votes'. This, and the lack of membership dues interested me greatly. The level of organization and member turnout were also bright spots that led to my eventual decision to join the QCMC.
For anyone who frequents StangNet from the QC area, Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois who is looking for a club or at the very least some fellow Mustang Enthusiasts to hang out with, post in here or take what I've said and think about it. I'm including the website to the club and a brief listing of the next handful of upcoming events and inviting anyone out there to stop by and check out the club!
