Why Form a Chapter of Mustang Club?

Does it cost anything to start a Chapter of Mustang Club?
We are assisting local Mustang Club chapters to form who can be a part of our online community while at the same time organizing activities like club meetings or meet & greets on a local level. We invite you to help our members have fun and enjoy the Mustang Club. There are no chapter formation fees, all we ask is that you first join our club and that all the members of your chapter join also.

How do I start a Chapter of Mustang Club?
It only takes one or two Mustang Club members to form a chapter. Fill out our chapter application, then we will send you a Chapter Charter document. Once you review and sign the Chapter Charter document, return a copy to us by mail or fax.

How is a Mustang Club Chapter structured?
A Chapter will be organized by a Chapter Coordinator and Assistant Chapter Coordinator, Chapters can hold monthly meetings open to all Chapter members. Most of the Mustang Club meet & greets and cruises will be organized by Chapters on a local level. More details will be provided in the chapter charter document.

Does the national club (Mustang Club) send any money Chapters?
No, our member dues are set at a low level to fund only the operating costs of our national club and web site. The member dues are not intended to pay for events or local activities. Mustang Club chapters primary function is to organize local activities and social functions. The Chapter is authorized to set reasonable event fees to cover operating expenses for the Chapter's social activities. The Chapter is authorized to seek out sponsors to help offset operating expenses. The Chapter Coordinator assumes all responsibility for managing funding of social meetings, events, activities etc. by collecting needed funds from the participants or sponsors on a "pay as you go" basis.

Do Mustang Club Chapter members have to be Mustang Club members?
Yes, all Chapter members must be Mustang Club members with current annual dues. Most people do not understand how much time and expense actually goes into an organization. Your member dues fund the operating costs of the national club and web site (Mustang Club). There may be some who don't want to pay our dues for various reasons, they can come to our events, but they are not club members, have no member benefits on our web site, are not invited to monthly chapter meetings, and can't vote on your chapter issues.

Can Mustang Club Chapters charge member dues in addition to Mustang Club member dues?
No, a properly run chapter can fund all of its activities by setting reasonable event fees for event attendees to cover operating expenses for the Chapter's social activities events and meetings. The Chapter is authorized to seek out sponsors to help offset operating expenses. The Chapter Coordinator assumes all responsibility for managing funding of social meetings, events, activities etc. by collecting needed funds from the participants or sponsors on a "pay as you go" basis.

If I start a Chapter how will I know when a member joins my chapter?
The chapter coordinator will receive an email when a new Mustang Club member joins. This will allow you to contact the member and welcome them to your local group. The member will also receive an email indicating they joined the national club as a member of your chapter. Annual dues renewal emails will be sent directly to the member from the national club.

Should we form our own Club or form a Chapter of Mustang Club?
Mustang Club is a national club with a large online community. Our web site provides a wealth of information about the Mustang, constant amusement and warm friendships. Why re-invent the wheel?
Most social gatherings of Mustang Club members will be organized by Mustang Club Chapters, Mustang Club activities will be sanctioned and insured Club activities include any social function, meeting, picnic, cruise, tour, meet & greet, cruise night, party, parade, rally, poker run, convention, etc. When Mustang Club Chapters put their activities our national calendar we approve and sanction them with one simple online form.
