March 25, 2025 Minutes Low Country Mustang Club
The meeting was called to order at 7:00P by President Duane Helzer. 22 members were in attendance.
Michelle gave the Treasurer’s Report and it was approved as reported. We received Thank You Notes from Holy City Missions, Abundantly More, and Dorchester Paws for our donations.
The Poker Run and Thank You Plaque Presentation to our Sponsor Dealers on March 8th was a great success. We started at East Bay Deli, proceeded to Jones Ford, then on to Summerville Ford, Ravenel Ford, and finally Palmetto Ford. All the dealers were appreciative of the acknowledgement and having all those beautiful Mustangs show up. Their customers were quite impressed. We then crossed Savannah Hwy and had lunch at Bessinger’s. The winners of the Poker Hands were Mike Roach - Best Driver’s hand, Tucker Nielson - Best Passenger’s hand, Ashley Knight - Worst Hand. A special thank you to Mike for donating some of his prize back to the Club.
The St. Patrick’s day parade in Charleston had only 4 cars from the Club make it through the morning rush hour traffic and several accidents. Two of us had to turn around and get out of the disasters happening. Not sure how anyone does it on a daily basis. But those who made it through found a couple new friends in the neighborhood and invited them to jump in the cars and do the parade route as unofficial LCMC members. So as always it was a great time and of course a fun lunch following the parade.
The Ravenel Open Car Show is set on April 26, 2025 and we are ready to go. Just make sure you are passing out flyers whenever and wherever you can. We want a big turnout! Trophies are ordered and winners might be pleasantly surprised at the unique awards Ken Brinkman came up with. Thanks Ken! We will need help to get things set up, so please arrive between 7 and 7:30AM. Our Charity will be Mental Health Heroes.

MCA Regional Director - Rich Bible
Speaking of our MCA Regional Director, Rich needs our members to please join Mustang Club of America if you haven’t already done so. If you join, please give him your membership number. The MCA is our governing Charter Organization, and they provide a lot of benefits than you might not know about. As long as we have the sufficient number of members in MCA, we retain our Charter, are provided a large umbrella Liability Insurance Policy for our Show, receive notice in their magazine of our Show, and they provide a lot supplies needed to put on our show. When we are in good standing with MCA, we are eligible to receive the President’s Award for our functions during the year. It’s nice to be recognized for all the effort we put into our Club.
Please keep in mind we are still looking to put a list of LOCAL Charities together so we can have choices when it comes to making donations. Please pass along your favorite.
OMBC is still 1st and 3d Wednesdays at East Bay Deli from 7AM til 10AM, or whenever they solve the world problems.
The Mavens will meet April 15th (rather than the usual 2nd Tuesday) at Page’s Okra Grill - Nexton 10AM.
Respectfully submitted - Linda Batdorff, Secretary
