20 Ford Mustang Prototypes Considered For Production But Never Made It

Hello GHMC Members,

Please read both items below: 
 
1. ) Rob Lo is going to place an order for Club T-shirts. We need at least 36 shirts to place this order, so if you would like a new shirt, please contact Rob. They come in all sizes, and you can choose between black or heather gray. Contact Rob: rlox88@yahoo.com to place an order.

​​​​​​​ 2. ) We are in the process of developing a Car Flag that will identify GHMC Members. These flags are made to attach to the auto glass by a suction cup so as not to mar the finish on the car. The flags will be 10" X 27" and 35.75" tall. We are working on the design to make them very attractive and communicate that we are The Golden Hills Mustang Club. They will be for use at any GHMC event or anytime that we are attending other events to make us stand out in the crowd. 
 
 So far, I have collected 19 members who are interested in purchasing a Car Flag or flags for their car(s). This email is being sent to every club member to give you the opportunity to get on the list to have your own flag(s) for your car(s). The price of the Car Flags will be in the neighborhood of $25-$35 dollars and could be lower if the order is larger. Please respond to this email and let us know if you would like to be on the list to purchase a flag or flags.

If you would like to see an example of the flag type, go to https://www.vispronet.com/car-feather-flag

Thank You,

From Matthew Brown:

Mr. Banovitz,

I wanted to personally thank you for the care package the Golden Hills Mustang Club sent me.  I personally took the girl scout cookies for myself but handed out the remainder of the package to one of my
squads.  They were very thankful of the socks and magazines as entertainment runs short out here.

Please give our thanks to CrossFit Solano as well.

Again, thank you for  your support.  It is received well by me and my Platoon.

How's it going Sir,
 
Just wanted to let you know from me an my platoon that we were very grateful for the package you sent SFG Gorbet he was quick to pass out a few things to us an share the love lol. I had to acknowledge the fact you went out of your way for us. Being on the other side of the world away from family gets rough sometimes. But just small kind gestures like that make it slightly better. I really appreciated it.


Thank you,
       PV2 Johnson

We just received your care package here at the Pedro compound. We appreciate your recognition, thanks, and the especially the Girl Scout Cookies!

From all of us here at the 26 ERQS Pedros a big thank you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
