March 2026

Hello Club Members,

Happy Spring everyone.  The grass is getting greener and the days are trying to get warmer.  Soon it will be time to get those Thunderbirds out of Winter storage and back on the road.

We had our annual 'After the Holidays' dinner on February 7th  at Morgan's Tavern in Waynedale.  The restaurant is under new ownership with an all-new menu.  We had a great crowd and although it was a bit noisy, I think most members were happy with their meal. It was good to see everyone after our kind of miserable Winter.

Next was our annual Planning Meeting on March 22nd  held at The Bob Evans Restaurant on DuPont Road.  We had a lively bunch of club members with lots and lots of ideas for our Thunderbird season.

Here are some of the many ideas for us.

March 28th- A visit to The Rod and Custom Car Show held at The Allen County Coliseum.  If you want to meet for breakfast at Mr. Coney on Coliseum Blvd, meet at 8:30 AM.

April 12th  A play in Hicksville, Ohio called 'Out of Sight Murder.'  The cost is $20.00 and you will be responsible for getting your own tickets online.  More on this as the date gets nearer.
