The
Mustang Club of Orange County joined
the New York Mustangs on June 12 at
Thomas Bull Memorial Park in
Montgomery for their car show to
benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
It did rain that day, but soon
cleared up, and it was just a matter
of time before all the Mustang were
wiped down. More than 100 vehicles
participated, and the club raised
over $7,000 for the foundation.

 OCC helps out Toys for Tots
Posted:
January 26, 2010 -
2:00 AM
Staff Sgt.
Christopher J. Dragon, coordinator of
this year's Hudson Valley Toys for Tots
campaign, was looking quite sharp in his
Marine uniform amongst a sled full of
toys as he greeted visitors coming to
Orange County Choppers Holiday Event on
Dec. 12. Dragon was hoping to get enough
toys for around 4,000 children.
This year
there was more of a need, and donations
were down a little, so OCC decided to
match every toy that was brought into
the dealership that day. OCC also
donated a portion of the proceeds from
the sale of WWE die-casts. "Businesses
that put the boxes out and the community
that donates are really what helps,"
Dragon said.
Adding
donations to the toy effort was
Moroney's Harley-Davidson, who donated
the toys that they had left over from
their toy run, and Steve Motola and
Joe Rementer of the Mustang Club of
Orange County brought over two big
boxes of toys that the club had
collected for Toys for Tots.
The holiday
event at OCC treated visitors to
autograph signings, music by the New
York School of Music and local choirs
and a chance to meet Santa and have
their photos taken on the OCC Christmas
Bike.

 Mustang
Club helps out Toys for Tots
Posted:
December 30, 2009 -
2:00 AM
The Mustang
Club of Orange County collects for the
Toys for Tots campaign at its annual
holiday party every year. This year club
members did things a little bit
differently. Steve Motola set up at the
McDonald's on Route 208 in Montgomery,
where the club holds its cruise nights
in the summer, and took in donations of
toys. In the end, he took in a huge
number of toys, and on Dec. 12 Steve and
Joe Rementer delivered huge boxes of
toys to Orange County Choppers
Headquarters where Staff Sgt.
Christopher J. Dragon, coordinator of
this year's Hudson Valley campaign, was
accepting donations. Considering that
the toy drive was in desperate need of
toys, the Mustang Club's donation was a
godsend.

Six members
of the Mustang Club of Orange County had
a unique opportunity to attend the
Mustang Club of America National Car
Show in Raleigh, N.C., on the July 4
weekend. It was hosted by the Heart of
Carolinas Mustang Club and was held at
the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
More than
400 cars participated in the show,
including Mustangs from 1964 through
2010 and everything from Shelbys, Cobras
and Bullets-GTs to straight 6's of every
color. Out of the six members of the
club who attended, five took home
trophies as well as the club itself.
Yep, they were one of the clubs with the
most participation. Well done and
congratulations!

Sunshine Ford packs 'em in at MCOC
Mustang and Ford Spring Roundup show.

About 200
Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles
packed the Sunshine Ford parking lot on
Route 17K in Newburgh at the Mustang
Club of Orange County's third annual
Mustang and Ford Spring Roundup held May
31.
The ponies
were definitely a hit at this show. The
first one that I spotted was Richie
Sanderson's 2004 Mystic Chrome Cobra.
Richie belongs to the Adirondack Shelby
Mustang Club (www.adirondackshelbymustangclub.org)
and drove down to the show from
Altamont. His Mustang is gorgeous. The
paint alone is an eye-popper, and it
gets better: The steering wheel and the
leather seats change color. Everyone was
circling the car, watching the colors
change in the sun. Under the hood is the
Terminator motor. There were only 495
convertibles of these cars made, and
Richie owns No. 156. Yep, it comes
straight from the factory the way you
see it.
Up and down
each aisle I went, admiring every
awesome ride. The perfect sunny day
brought out a large number of
spectators. The refreshment stand was
definitely packed.
The club is
still collecting for the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation and had a
table set up at the show for interested
folks. They collected about $100 and
tossed in $500 from the proceeds from
the show. They will be presenting the
check at the walk in Newburgh on Sept.
27.
Members of
the club also showcased their own rides,
which aren't too shabby either. You can
check them out at their Saturday Night
All American Cruise-In held at
McDonald's on Route 208 in Montgomery
starting at 5 p.m. Visit
www.mustangcluboforangecounty.org. Want
a Mustang of your own? Visit
www.sunshinefordlm.com. If you love
Fords, Lincolns or Mercury's, this was
definitely the show for you.
If you are
interested in joining the team from the
Mustang Club of Orange County at the
JDRF Walk, e-mail Steve at smotola@frontiernet.net.
