I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM...
...we all scream for ice cream! I’m fully convinced the way to our car club’s heart is through its stomach! The
turn-out for our Sweetheart Ice Cream Run to Fenton’s in Vacaville was, well, SWEET! We were so happy to
see some faces that we’ve not seen in quite awhile. Since it was lunch time our group was faced with a diffi-
cult decision—-eat a regular lunch and not have the stomach capacity for one of those decadent sundaes, or
just go for having a sundae for lunch? Some of us solved the problem by sharing one lunch order and then
sharing one sundae. Some went straight for the sugar-high by having a whole sundae as their meal! Now
that’s ice cream dedication! The sundae “special” of the day was one made with Girl Scouts‘ famous Thin
Mint cookies. Several members made the “personal sacrifice” of ordering these so that the Girl Scouts would
get the $$ donation from Fenton’s. Many of the sundaes were so huge that the brain-frozen consumers had to
ask for ice cream “doggie bags”——for ice cream? Who knew? We all had a great time together. Some folks
stayed to shop the Vacaville Outlets while others followed John home via a backroads route. The weather was
fine and the traffic light . Bobby Hubbell., Lisi , and their 2010 Cobra GT 500 eventually felt “the need for
speed” and found a couple of spots on the route to safely let ‘er rip! It was a really fun day; hope you’ll join

————————————————————————————————————————————
DVMA Dispatch President Message
March may be the beginning of good weather, but it appears that winter is just
arriving. The last couple months have been wonderful for a few successful
events for our members.
There are some other events coming up – a visit to Winchester Mystery House
on March 25, a dinner to celebrate National Mustang Day on April 17, and a vis-
it to Yosemite on May 5-6. This will be the third attempt to drive to Yosemite in
good weather. Some members will stay over- night and some may return the
evening of May 5. May 19 is Golden Hills Car Show in Suisun City. Planning
is underway for a drive to Castle Air Museum on June 23. Members will have a
private docent much like the wonderful day at Sacramento Air Museum.
June 9 is the date for the Mustangs Only Car Show at Bill Brandt Ford in Brentwood. This is a show for our
own club. Members need to sign up in the Event Book so we will know how many will be attending. Note
that Rob and the dealership will be providing food and prizes. DVMA will supply trophies for a few different
classes. The number of attendees will determine the number of prizes.
The newsletter offers space for any member to let everyone know what is happening with their Mustangs. Are
you upgrading, changing something, painting? If you know of a good garage that you are happy with, let us
know about that also. Repairs and service are important to our Mustangs.
DVMA is fortunate to have interactive members, beautiful cars, and fun events. I enjoy seeing every member
at Fuddrucker’s and our monthly meetings allow all of us to get to know each other better.

It has been well over 20 years since the Club did a tour to the Winchester Mystery House. So, on Sun-day, March 25th we will be enjoying the mysteries of the mansion.
We will leave the Sears parking lot at 9:30 to arrive at the Winchester at about 10:30. The cost is $39 per adult, $32 per sen-ior (65+), $20 for ages 5 to 12. If we can get a group of 15 the cost will be $30 per person. Times may be adjusted to meet their tour schedules.
The Mansion Tour lasts 1 hour and 5 minutes. It goes through 110 of the 160 rooms in the Mansion. Included are the gardens and other museums like the Firearms and Antiques Muse-ums.
There is a café on the site where we will have lunch. Of course there is a gift shop.
Also available is the Explore More Tour. It follows the Mansion Tour after a short break and lasts another hour and five minutes. Viewed are rooms that have never been open to previous tours and extends from the ground floor to the roof. Children 10 and under are not permitted on this tour.
Mansion Tour Explore More Tour (Includes Mansion Tour)
Adults 13 and up $39 per person $49 per person
Seniors 65 and up$32 $42
And Military, Fire, EMT
Children 6 to 12 $20 $20 (ages 10 to 12)
Are you a fan of the TV show Mysteries at the
Museum? Well, this is the real thing and it
should be a lot of fun! There’s also a movie out
now based on Mrs. Winchester and her strange
obsession called “Winchester”. It’s spooky and
obviously has a lot of special effects but you’ll
get an idea of her story. Go see it now to get you
in the mood for the tour!
