I know the weather is about to get colder outside as we head into the winter months, but we still have plenty of activities ahead for MOCSEM. I don’t believe in sitting still, and there is no reason we can’t have some fun in the winter months also! We may not be able to drive our Mustangs in the winter (although some do drive them year round), but there is no reason we can’t drive our “other” vehicles to our events in the winter or whenever the weather is not cooperating. I’m not saying we’ll be getting together for Alpine Skiing or the Luge, (although I could see us competing against the Camaro or Shelby Club with ambulances waiting at the bottom of the hill), but there are some pretty cool events coming up in December and January!

I can’t mention the December event yet until we get it finalized, but I can tell you it has something to do with Ford Motor Company. You better mark your calendar for December 5th and expect an epic event that will be exclusive to MOCSEM. For January, we will be going to Genitti’s in Northville to see Jason Magic at their Dinner Theater. If you missed Jason last February at our exclusive MOCSEM event at Gateway Classic Cars, you missed a great show with his blended magic and comedy with audience participation!  This time, it will include a 7-course family style Italian Dinner and MOCSEM will have front row seating!  

If you hadn’t already heard, we are officially a Charter Club of MCA (Mustang Club of America) again!  Being a part of the MCA allows us to share our love for Mustangs along with our passion for the Mustang community! We look forward to building new friendships, attending exciting events and showcasing MOCSEM members and their rides! Get ready for an exciting time ahead as we continue to make Mustang Memories with the MCA. Who knows, you may even see a National Show in Dearborn in the near future!

 

I would like to thank Teresa Wigel, Art Scaff, George Magro, and Rick Jarsenbowski for their commitment in helping the club with upcoming social events for 2027! As you know, we strive to have events and guest speakers every month, and with the help of this new committee, we can expand our footprint throughout the year to include activities on the east side as well as the north and south (i.e. Shelby Township, Saline, Toledo, etc). We have many members that are 45-90 minutes outside of Dearborn where we hold our General Meetings.

For our November meeting, we are going to do something a little different. One of the questions we had as a Board was - "what is the value of being a member of MOCSEM?"  What do you actually get for the $45 Membership fee? As we thought about this earlier in the year, we knew there is both a monetary and non-monetary value, but we couldn’t answer that question. So we worked this year to try and determine that value and would like to share our thoughts with you at the November meeting. In addition, we would also like to get your feedback on what type of events you as members would like to see in 2027, so we’ll talk about that also.

Here are some upcoming Activities on the calendar for MOCSEM:

• Stahl’s Auto Museum – November 7th

• One Epic Event – Hold the date – December 5th

• MOCSEM Christmas Party – December 12th

• Genetti’s Dinner Show w/Jasen Magic – January 16th

Lastly, Each one of us on the Board would like to say “thank you” for supporting us throughout 2026 and
electing us again to represent MOCSEM in 2027. We are truly honored to represent such a great club!
