Cruise Night

Wow! What happened to the month of August? The month was particularly busy and rewarding for me! The first 10 days of the month I was on my annual road trip. I made it back in time to attend the first half of the Chiefs and left early to enjoy another great Cruise Night, which included a nice display by the Falcon Club. While out of town, RJ, Jim and George presented our donation to Children’s Mercy from the Annual Show. Thanks to Jeff and his Show Committee as well as every-one that helped, entered or attended the car show and generate the proceeds to donate! I was home just long enough to pack and fly to Detroit with Doye to drive the Wounded Warrior Family Support Shelby GT350. Our tour of duty began at the Woodward Cruise, which boasts more than 1,000,000+ fans in attendance and included Mustang Alley, which included 3 miles of Mustangs parked along both sides of a street. The next day we attended the Mustang Owners Club of Southern Michigan Mustang Memories Car Show, which had more than 400 cars, in-cluding 83 Mustang II’s as part of a national reunion. Other stops included Ford World Headquarters, where the car was signed by Mark Fields, Ford President & CEO, several fundraising events hosted by UAW Locals at Ford plants, and finished the week at a WWFS Golf Benefit hosted by Local 3000 from the Flatrock Plant. Such an honor to drive this car and experience how it moves people to donate and touch their heart for what it represents; freedom is not free, gratitude for those who sacrifice for our freedom, and for those that have or currently serve in the military. I’m spending the last few days of August at the MCA 40th Anniversary in Indianapolis and promoting our 2017 Grand National with the help of several other club members. Be-ing here is a reminder that the spotlight will be on our club in less than a year when we will host the MCA 2017 Grand National in Overland Park. There is a lot of interest from folks and it is encouraging so many are planning to attend. Please take an opportunity to sign up for a subcommittee and help plan an event that will raise a much larger donation next year for Children’s Mercy. Please remember that the Wounded Warrior High Five Tour comes back to Kansas City for the 9/11 weekend. Mark and his High Five Tour Committee have several fundrais-er events planned including a cruise night at Dick Smith Ford, a pancake breakfast at Olathe Ford, the Gail’s Harley Davidson 9/11 Rally and Tribute Ride, and display as part of the Ford Fan Experience before the Chiefs home opener at Arrowhead Stadium. Finally, it’s time to renew club membership this month! Our club membership is at an all time high and my hope is that we will continue to grow through the Fall and Winter when membership typically declines. Where else can you belong to a club for only $20 and have so much fun participating in social events, show & shines, track events, and feel good about raising money for the charities our club supports?

Bill Bloom will also accept donation checks made out to “Wreaths Across America,” with a cutoff in early November.

It is easy to purchase a wreath online – be sure to scroll through the organizations to find MCGKC, so we will be credited, and the wreath will go to the Leavenworth Nat’l Ceme-tery.

2016 Pink Cruise Our 5th annual Pink Cruise Night will

be held October 8th from 4-7 PM at our

regular cruise night location, 103rd and

Mastin. This cruise night is a regular

cruise night with all makes and models

welcome, but with a breast cancer

theme. About 2,600 men will be diag-

nosed with breast cancer in 2016 so

armed with that staggering information,

our charity for 2016 will be the Bret Mil-

ler 1T Foundation in support of The Male

Breast Cancer Coalition. 100% of our

proceeds will go directly to the Founda-

tion. In past years, we have raised well

over $1,000 each year but in order to

accomplish and surpass that goal, we

are dependent on our members for our

silent auction.

Please plan to do a basket or donate

an item for auction. If you want ideas,

let me know! More information will be

coming on our Pink Cruise but start

thinking about your baskets! I can be

reached via call or text at 913-217-8668

or by phone at work my work number –

913 384-8152. You can email me at

nbloom@mjbtrc.com. Thank you!
