Hello GHMC Members!
At long last…it’s PARADE time coming up this week!
 The City of Fairfield is putting on their July 4th parade on Friday, July 4 (duh!) at 10am. The theme is “Celebrating America's Pastimes
 As in past years, we will meet at Solano Mall at 8:15 am at the Jamba Juice/Starbucks area. Exiting the freeway at Travis Blvd, this is at the second stoplight where you will turn left into the Mall parking lot.
 We will leave at 845am to head to our staging area near the parade entry location. Hint: Don’t get in line at Starbucks at 8:40 am or you’ll return to an empty parking lot!  I’m assuming our staging location will be in the vicinity of Webster and Kentucky Street, where it’s been the last couple years, but I won’t have confirmation of that until Thursday morning.
 Bring your patriotic red, white and blue car decorations!
 We will have a BBQ/swim afternoon at the Lamphiear’s house at 1900 Vintage Lane in Fairfield off of Green Valley Road after the parade, approximately 12 noon to 4pm. The gate will be open, but easiest thing to do is to caravan together after the parade to their home. The club will provide some type of meat (not sure what it is this year, but it is always yummy), however we will need to have everyone bring their own drinks and other snacks, side dishes, and desserts. Also, bring your own car show/camping portable chair. You do NOT have to participate in the parade to attend, but parade participation MAY earn you a ticket to the front of the food line! Please coordinate with Cyndy Lamphiear by email: lamphiear@yahoo.com, as to what potluck items are still needed so we don’t end up with too much of the same thing.
 Also, bring a swimsuit if you want to work on your sun-burn!

Please email info@goldenhillsmustangclub.comand let us know if you are coming to the parade, just the BBQ, or to both, so we can get an idea of how many to expect. 
Thanks! Looking forward to a great parade and enjoyable afternoon!

Hello GHMC Members,

The Golden Hills Mustang Club has been participating in the Benicia Torchlight Parade for many years.
At the least, since we provide convertibles for dignitaries, they allowed us to
participate free of charge. And, in the recent years, they have compensated
the convertibles.
However, this year they have new management at the Main Street
Organization. They requested convertibles, free of charge, and they expected
us to pay the $50 fee for 6 cars to be in the parade ($50 more for over 6
cars).
It was decided that we will not be participating this year. We will look at it
again next year.
We are still participating in Fairfield’s 4th of July parade – so see you there!

Hello GHMC Members,
 We want to Thank All who helped put on our 40th Anniversary Biggest Little Car Show. It was a Success!

This is a one time offer so please respond to this email ASAP if you want to place an  order.  info@goldenhillsmustangclub.com Cost will depend on the number ordered but will be in the 10 to 12 dollar range for members.

Thank You!

Hello GHMC Members,
 The Golden Hills Mustang Club is  planing a road trip to Gold Beach Oregon to ride Jerry's Jet Boat on the Majestic Rogue River!
We will be taking the 104 mile, White Water trip and hope to charter the whole boat. It takes 30 people to do that. 
We have done this trip many time and always look forward to doing it again! As you can see in the attached pictures this trip is more than a boat ride.
I took that picture of a Eagle catching a trout that was next to the boat many years ago and it still amazes me.  
We will leave on Wednesday, July 16th come home on the 20th. We plan on spending Wednesday night in Eureka and having dinner (Hopefully) at the Samoa Cookhouse. 
The boat ride is 159.00 each, lunch is included. Working on hotel rooms. 
We need a firm commitment to secure the boat and rooms so if you can go please reply to this email or call us as soon as you can because hotels fill up fast in July. 
Hope to hear from you soon! 
Dan & Norma McCabe

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

Robert,
I just received another installment of care packages from your folks.
Thanks a ton. This one was just in time as there is a shortage of razors in
the compound!

I am hoping to be out of here in the next couple of weeks- Our replacements
are about ten days late right now. I am sure the new guys here will still be
appreciative if you and your folks want to send more care packages this way.
I think this address will ensure the packages get to the right folks-
