Twisted Fillies Ruisoso NM Trip
01/7-9/202

Early Friday morning (7:00 a.m.), 3 vehicles descended on Lowe’s at The Rim, then on to Walmart in Boerne, starting on a long trip to Ruidoso, NM.

After several stops along the way (Junction, San Angelo, Big Spring, Brownfield, Roswell – no, none of us were abducted), we arrived in Ruidoso about 5:00 p.m. local time. We had dinner at The Ranchers Steak and Seafood, then checked into the house and pretty much crashed for the night, although I heard about a game called Fast Track (similar to Parcheesi) that some of the ladies played into the night.

Saturday morning started out with breakfast (eggs, pancakes, biscuits, bacon, sausage), then out to head up the mountain to the ski area. Somewhat of a letdown as there wasn’t a ton of snow, but lots of clowning around and some great pictures. Then on to more important stuff – downtown, sightseeing, shopping and wine tasting.

Now we’re off to Inn of the Mountain Gods casino for a little gambling and more shopping. While some ladies stayed at the casino, most of us went to Rio Grande Grill & Bar for drinks & dinner.

After an early night, we hit the road at 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning for the return trip to San Antonio, arriving back at Walmart & Lowe’s at approximately 4:30 p.m.

This planned trip was comprised of Twisted Fillies and the Corvette Club’s Lady Navigators, plus our two (2) honorary members for the weekend, Jon Randolph & Joe Carrillo (they drove 2 of the vehicles).

Ladies making the trip were: yours truly, Traci Tate, Renee Read, June Bright, Levon Lang, Karen Agres, Kathy Gunnoe, Cheryl DiIanni, Nancy Tribby, Becky White, Denise DeLoach, Nina Symkowski, Beckie Canon, Bobby Patton, Rosely Carillo, Terri Cardenas and Gilda Silva.

We’d like to give a huge shout out to Traci, Karen, Kathy, Cheryl & Levon for planning and executing the details of this trip, and hope this isn’t the only overnight trip for the Twisted Fillies.

SAMC Holiday Party
12/11/2021
The SAMC Christmas Party was held this year at the Marriott Westover Hills (near Sea World) on Saturday, December 11th, 2021. There was 53 attendees. All seemed to enjoy the festivities. Traci Tate & Greg Polizzi emceed the festivities. SAMC's donation to our new charity, Triple H Equitherapy, was announced to be $3,000, a good start to a new charity.

The White Elephant gift exchange was held with about 42 gifts. With that many gifts we thought we'd be there until morning, but everything ran very smoothly and we finished up the evening around 9:00 p.m.

Those attending the party were: President Traci Tate & Paul Woeppel, Vice President Greg Polizzi & Denise Polizzi, Jerry & Bea Kalinowski, Sam & Cheryl DiIanni, Paul & Renee Read, Jim & Jean Cooper, Gail & Cathy Nelson, Ken Agres, David Fernandez & Becky McDaniel, David & Kathy Gunnoe and David's sister Sheila, Wayne & Delia Ramon-Jones, Miguel & Janis Rosario, Karl & Levon Lang, Paul & Mary Govono, Darr & Alicia Klein, Rick & Isabelle Birnbach, Stan & Olga Andrews, Denny Kalk & Jeannette Rhodes, Hank & Pamela Hattoy, Hank & Beverly Anderson, Jay Perez, Eddie & Lisa Perez, Charlie Herber & Shirley Furstenburg, Jack & Barb Klug, Earl & Lou Critchlow, Curtis & Kelly Romey, and Albert Estrada & Sue Baldwin. We were missing a couple of people due to illness, so we hope they recovered while recuperating at home.

I hope everyone had a good holiday & we're looking forward to having a good New Year as a club.

Thanks again to Traci & Greg for playing hosts, and for presiding as President & Vice President for 2021, and again in 2022.

Twisted Fillies Mingle & Jingle Dinner Social
12/03/2021
First of all, a huge thank you to Beverly Anderson for hosting this event at her house. This is the second time she has had us crazy women to her house to celebrate. Besides me, other attendees were Beverly's mother, Traci Tate, Karen Agres, June Bright, Nancy Tribby, Kathy Gunnoe, Cheryl DiIanni, Wendy Doyle, Renee Read, Jean Cooper, Cathy Nelson, Levon Lang, Delia Ramon-Jones, and brand new SAMC & Fillies member Stephanie Dusza. The dinner was Italian themed, so the main dish was lasagna made from Beverly's grandmother's recipe. Boy did that go quick. Everyone brought a dish to share - from breads to salads, antipasto skewers, meatballs, fudge, cookies, pie, and cheesecake. After we all finished stuffing our faces, we got down to the serious business of our wine & scarf gift exchange. Since the gift exchange was handled White Elephant style, there was a lot of fun as ladies kept stealing gifts from each other - yours truly included. I'm not sure whether most of us were stealing because of the wine or the scarf, especially as there were some beautiful scarves. WOW, I'm already looking forward to next year!!!

Also, a big thank you to MJ & Gail at The Wine Garage for hosting the club at our last stop of the day, and for their donation.

Jerry Daniell brought out a beautiful Mustang, Denny Kalk & Greg Polizzi donated some door prizes. Once leaving Matamoro's (thanks for allowing us to use your parking lot for registration and staging), everyone headed out to the Alamo (no, not the real one), then Duck Donuts (made fresh after you place your order - yum), nice drive up to the Waring General Store, stop for lunch at Backwoods BBQ, then a stop at Wildseed Farms before heading over to The Wine Garage for door prizes, 50/50 (Jon Randolph), and finding out who won at poker. Charles Herber won the top hand ($150), with Levon Lang coming in with the second best hand ($50). Full list of participants: Traci Tate, Paul Woeppel, Greg Polizzi, Jerry & Bea Kalinowski, Tim Allums, Karl & Levon Lang, Jerry Daniell, Jim & Jean Cooper, Eddie Perez, Jae Perez, Dwight & Nancy Tribby, Jon Randolph, Charles Herber, Shirley Furstenburg, and Ed Light.

Jordan Ford invited The San Antonio Mustang Club to bring out a variety of classic Mustangs to the Oktoberfest at Tower of the Americas. We had 60s, 70s, 90s, and early 2000s represented. We were parked directly beneath the Tower. We were surprised at how many people came by to admire & appreciate our cars. Lots of different beers and wines from all over the world were tried and enjoyed by Richard & Isabella Birnbach, Miguel & Janis Rosario, Regina Sanders, Delia & Wayne Ramon-Jones, Gail & Cathy Nelson, and Jerry & Bea Kalinowski. We thank Jordan Ford for inviting our Mustangs to this event. The only other club represented was the Bronco Club. Jerry was thrilled for the opportunity to bring Robert (Red Ford) out of seclusion for this event. Thank you to everyone who brought out their beautiful cars, even with the threat of rain. It turned out to be a beautiful day. The day also turned out to be an excellent opportunity to let people know about SAMC and some of the different events we have during the year.

SAMC Summer Picnic
07/31/2021
Over 50 San Antonio Mustang Club members gathered at Rim Rock Ranch Community Park in Bulverde (front porch of the hill country) for our annual club picnic. Plenty of food, plenty of games. Seems like people were just waiting to get out and have a good time. Lots of catching up with members we've not seen in a while, as well as socializing with everyone. It was nice to see all the Mustangs at the picnic. Thanks to club president Traci Tate for getting people moving and participating in the games. Thanks to the club for providing the burgers & dogs (and to Karl & Levon Lang for picking them up), and to Charles Herber for providing some deer sausage (and I don't believe there was any left). Thanks to Cheryl DiIanni and Kathy Gunnoe for heading up the picnic committee. They did a great job getting everyone to sign up and participate in the picnic. Also a big thank you to all the members who provided all the sides and fantastic desserts.

This is what a club is all about, to get people involved and having a good time.

Thank you to the Rim Rock Ranch Board for granting us the use of park.

Can't wait for the next SAMC event!!!

SAMC Hill Country Poker Run
07/24/2021
First of all, a huge thank you to Chicago Title, our event sponsor!

San Antonio Mustang Club members (and a few Corvette Club members) gathered at Helotes Lions Club for the start of the Poker Run. Participants checked in (or registered) and received a goodie bag and their wrist bans, as well as being invited to partake of donuts & water. At 9:00 a.m., everyone was told if they were on Team 1, Team 2, or Team 3. Each team left at a pre-designated time and made their way to The Apple Store in Medina. Lots of apple pie, apple butter, and apple cinamon ice cream made its way out of the store before we set off on a leisurely and curvy drive through Kerrville, finally arriving at Street Dreams in Fredericksburg. WOW, so many neat cars and trucks, plus signs and gas pumps (I particularly liked the Phillips 66 gas pump since I used to work for Phillips Petroleum in Huntingtion Beach, CA). Next stop was for lunch at Backwoods BBQ. Excellent food and more getting to know the people in your group a little better. After a super lunch we set off for the last stop of the day - The Wine Garage. Here we met up with Team 1 and Team 2, drew for our poker hands, settled down with some cake and some drinks, as well as getting to see more cars. Finally, what everyone really wanted to know - WHO WON?? David Wessels took 1st place with a straight, Ace high, with Cheryl DiIanni coming in 2nd with a straight, King high. Then, drawings for all the door prizes, of which there were many. Last event was the 50/50, for half of $366. Patrick Doyle won the $183, and promptly handed it back to club president Traci Tate to go to our charity. I believe everyone had a good time and I, for one, look forward to the next one.

Among those attending were Traci Tate, Paul Woeppel, Paul & Rene Read, Patrick & Wendy Doyle, David Fernandez, Sam & Cheryl DiIanni, Karl & Levon Lang, Barry & Corey Malone, Nate Thompson, and Jerry & Bea Kalinowski. We're looking forward to them having more events in the future.

TCA Car Show in Boerne
04/17/2021
Several San Antonio Mustang Club members entered their cars in the TCA Car Show in Boerne, and some of them won awards. Among those who entered their Mustangs: Cheryl DiIanni, Pam Hattoy, Hank Hattoy, Cathy Nelson, Charles Herber, Traci Tate. Then there was club members who entered their Corvettes: Paul Woeppel, Sam DiIanni, Paul Read, Jim Cooper. Mustang Club members who won awards were Cathy Nelson (Best in Class - Mustang), Charles Herber (Class Award for his Shelby), and Sam DiIanni (class award - Corvette).

There were cars as far as the eye could down Main Street in Boerne, plus more on side streets, and even more in the park. The last count I heard was 414, and 300 of them had to be Corvettes.

What held my attention was the fact that there were cars from every era, from the 1930s to 2021. They were all beautiful, and it is too bad that each and every one of them couldn't win an award. But there's always next year!!! The 2022 show will be held on April 2nd.

Twisted Fillies go to Diva Night in Boerne

Several of the Twisted Fillies of the San Antonio Mustang Club decided to visit Boerne for their 2021 Spring Diva Night. Among those attending were Nancy Tribby, Rene Read, Levon Lang, Traci Tate, Cheryl DiIanni, and yours truly, Bea Kalinowski. We started the night off by checking in at The Dienger Trading Company and collecting our goodie bags, which contained a few cool things, like a boa scarf and a tiara - definitely items needed by divas. We then started hitting the shops, starting at LuLu Belles, which is owned by club member Lisa Hillje, where we collected water bottles (with our names on them) filled with sangria - yummy. More shops, buying things, collecting more goodies, then dinner at the Hungry Horse Restaurant, then back to shopping. Everyone had a great time checking out the shops and can't wait for the Fall edition of Diva Night.

After filling our tummies, many of us made the trek to Iron Wolf Distillery (also in Spicewood) for some tastings & discussion of where to go next. Next stop was down the 281 at Arc De Texas Winery up on the hill just outside Johnson City,. Some excellent wines & beautiful views. Already looking forward to next year.

Twisted Fillies Annual Holiday Dinner
12/3/2020
The Twisted Fillies annual holiday dinner and wine exchange was held at StoneWerks at The Rim. Joining the Fillies were members of the Lady Navigators from the Corvette Club. Fillies attending the event were Traci Tate, Kathy Gunnoe, Levon Lang, Jean Cooper, Nancy Tribby, Rene Read, Tammy Thompson, Cheryl Di Ianni, Cathy Nelson, Karen Agres and Bea Kalinowski. After enjoying our meals, we did our best (and I think we pretty much succeeded) to keep up with a poem about the Wright family, passing wine bags & boxes right, left and across. Once the poem was over we all opened our wine bag or box to see what kind of wine we got, and to see the glass that was included as part of the gift. Many ooh's and aah's later we all wished each other Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and went our separate ways home, wondering what the next Fillies event would be.

Alzafar Shriners Car Show & Toy Drive
11/14/2020
SAMC was well represented at this event. Attendees included Jerry & Bea Kalinowski, Brandi Meyer, Cathy & Gail Nelson, Karl & Levon Lang, Tom Kubler, Hank Anderson, Patrick Doyle, and Wes Craven. The show had no categories, awarding the top 50 vehicles. Besides most of our cars being in the Top 50, SAMC won a trophy for being the car club that donated the most toys. The turnout for the show was just shy of 200 vehicles. This was a very good turnout, and many thanks go out to the Shriners for making it a show to be proud of.

Pale Horse Drinkery & Sky Top Bar Cruise-In
06/07/2020
SAMC was asked to host the first Cruise-In at the Pale Horse Drinkery & Sky Top Bar. Among the 30 or so cars that showed, several SAMC members came out and brought their cars - Paul Woeppel, Paul Read, Samuel DiIanni, David & Kathy Gunnoe, and Jerry Kalinowski & me. It was a pretty hot afternoon, but the Pale Horse was nice and cool inside, and you could order pizza from Marcos' Pizza. So was Double Schott's Bar & Grill, where Paul Read, Samuel DiIanni, Jerry & Bea went to get a bite to eat.

Alzafar Shriner Car Show
06/06/2020
The first car show of the year, and it was very well attended. A total of 189 entries showed up, and lots of people came out to just look at the vehicles. SAMC was well represented by yours truly, Paul Woeppel, Jerry Daniell, Patrick Doyle, Lisa Daniell (w/her Barbie Corvette), Paul Read (w/his 1963 Corvette), and a couple whose names I don't remember. It was a long day, but we did very well in the trophy category with wins by almost everyone I mentioned. Coffee & breakfast tacos went over very well, as did Bill Miller brisket sandwiches for lunch.

Whataburger Cruise-In
06/05/2020
I didn't count the number of cars, but there was not one open space in the parking lot. Besides that, Liza Renata's husband had his club come out in their Dodge pick-ups, and there was more than 50 trucks in the dirt lot next to the parking lot. Everyone had a great time looking at cars/trucks and socializing. Whataburger's dining room was still not open, but drive-thru and online ordering for curbside pickup was popular. As you can probably tell, we're not into "social distancing" so much any more. We'd like to thank Whataburger for making sure that we are taken care of on Friday nights.

The first Whataburger Cruise-In since the COVID-19 virus social distancing began. Quite a few cars showed up. Since Whataburger's dining room wasn't open to the public, we either went thru the drive-thru or ordered food online for curbside delivery. Anyway, we practiced "social distancing", but all enjoyed ourselves.

Whataburger Cruise-in
01/03/2020
The first Whataburger Cruise-In of the year was a night for Mustangs. Although it was a little cool out, about 20 Mustangs showed up compared to one (1) Corvette. Not a lot of SAMC members there, but did meet one who had just moved here from DC and joined that night. All in all, it was a good start to the new year and I hope to see more SAMC members out there on upcoming Fridays.

SAMC Holiday Party
12/06/19

SAMC Holiday Party at The Lion and Rose at the Rim. We had 55 people in the room, and 44 of them brought gifts for the White Elephant gift exchange. During the party there was a slide show of SAMC events during the year – cruises, cruise-ins, car shows, and especially the SAMC sponsored Bulverde Open Car Show. After the buffet dinner, Bea Kalinowski had an impromptu guessing game – who is this baby/toddler/teen? Then the White Elephant gift exchange. As usual, this was a lot of fun with people stealing gifts – especially the ones that were liquor. And take a look at how many gifts are under the upside down Christmas tree for Dare to Love. I think we’re all ready for next year, but maybe in a little larger space so we can accommodate more people.

Bulverde Open Car Show

What a beautiful day for a car show. Some of us started the night before with setting up – Paul Read set up the computers for registration and calculating the winners. Bea, Renee Read, Jeanette Rhodes and a few others set up the Silent Auction, the goodie bags and the door prizes. Then we were back at 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning to finish setting up and be ready for all the cars to start trickling in. We wound up with 159 beautiful cars and raised a good amount of money for Dare to Love. After passing out all the trophies and cleaning up, all who worked the car show then headed out to Front Porch Bar and Grill for a much deserved sit-down and dinner, and just to talk and reminisce with each other. Now we’re ready for next year!!!!

Bulverde Jubilee Parade
09/21/19
On a Saturday morning in downtown Bulverde, the "longest short parade in Texas" was held. Bea Kalinowski drove the Grand Marshall, retired KSAT Meterologist Steve Browne, in her car BumbleBea, followed closely by Nate Thompson driving Tammy's car with the honorary Grand Marshalls. Not only were these 2 cars front and center, we had 7 other SAMC cars that were entered as a group in the parade, and the club took "Best Car/Truck Entry." Thanks to Cathy & Gail Nelson, Paul & Renee Read, Miguel & Jan Rosario, Rick Birnbach, Gary Tanner, Dwight & Nancy Tribby, and of couse, Jerry Kalinowski. Paul Read's cobra on the hood of his car got a lot of attention during the parade. We then parked our cars at Front Porch Bar & Grill for an informal car show, where Tammy Thompson's car won the Ladies' Choice award. Thanks to Austin Thompson & his friend Mike for carrying the car show banner that was donated by Digital Expressions, and thanks also to the members that showed up. It was a great boost for our upcoming car show.

Whataburger Cruise-In
06/14/19
On what started out as a hot night and turned into a beautiful one that cooled down just enough to enjoy, the new Whataburger at 1604 & Military welcomed somewhere around 50 cars (mostly Mustangs & Corvettes) to their new facility. It seemed that a great time was had by all as we walked around and enjoyed the various cars & trucks that attended this event. It was nice to see people that we don't see very often & to make new friends too. From SAMC, besides me & Jerry, there was Paul Woeppel, Traci Tate, Paul & Renee Read, Jim & Jean Cooper, Ben & Yolanda Rodriguez, Karl & Levon Lang. If I missed anyone, my apologies!!!

06/01/19
On a hot and humid day in South Central Texas, a few SAMC members braved the heat to show off their ponies in New Braunfels at Bluebonnet Ford's 2nd Annual Red White and Bluebonnet Car Show. While none of us won an award (their award categories were not by car classes), we did win some raffle prizes and silent auction items, plus we had a good time checking out the other cars and enjoying each other's company. Representing SAMC were President Cathy Nelson & her husband Gail, Vice President Bea Kalinowski & her husband Jerry, Bill Burdick, Nancy Tribby (drove their Mustang for the first time ever), Tom Bader, and Steve Garcia (even though he brought out his Corvette).

Mustangs Take Flight (Houston MCA Show)
03/29/19-03/31/19
Two groups, totaling 10 cars, headed to Houston on Friday, 3/29/19, plus a few more that drove separately, but SAMC was well represented at this MCA Show in Houston. Not everyone was showing their cars, but came along for support of those of us who were. First stop after checking into the show was to have our pictures taken with a P-51 Mustang. Becky Dowda & I were in the same class, so we parked next to each other at the Lone Star Flight Museum. No sooner were we parked than we had judges in front of our cars wanting to know if we wanted to be judged that afternoon. WHAT????? We just drove in from San Antonio and our cars were dusty and the front ends covered with bugs. NOPE!!!

We looked at a few cars, went into the museum and looked around, then headed to the hotel to freshen up and find something to eat.

Saturday morning found everyone back at the museum cleaning cars and getting ready for judging. Took a while, but by the time the judges showed up, we were ready. Once we were judged, took time to go look at all the awesome cars inside & outside the museum, and some awesome planes.

Sunday morning found us back at Lone Star Flight Museum, but with the cold and wind, trophy presentations were moved inside (after the concourse cars were moved out).

Six GOLDs and one SILVER were awarded to SAMC members. Congrats to: Robert Carington, Tim Faktor, Becky Dowda, Mark Dumont, Mike Dumont & Bea Kalinowski for GOLD wins, and to Jeff Wallen for SILVER.

So much excitement, especially for me. This was my first MCA show, and I won GOLD!!!!

Sunday afternoon found everyone on their way back to San Antonio and home.

The Fillies started the cruise off from in front of Lowe's at The Rim. From there they traveled up to Medina and visited the Apple Store. Then lunch and shopping at Camp Verde General Store. After Cathy Nelson found a purse to match Bluebell (her car), they were off to Singing Hills Winery in Comfort. The Fillies attending were Cathy Nelson, Renee Read, Jean Cooper, Nancy Tribby, Cheryl Di Ianni, June Bright, Olga Andrews and Beverly Anderson. And I'm sure the rest of us Fillies are sad we didn't join the cruise.

Bandera Cowboy Mardi Gras
02/23/19

On Saturday, 2/23/19, 5 cars and 10 people traversed to Bandera for Mardi Gras. We started the day very early at Home Depot in Helotes. Drove straight up Highway 16 to Bandera and started the day with breakfast at Old Spanish Trail (O.S.T.) Restaurant, then spent the morning browsing the many shops, antique stores and vendors on the courthouse lawn in Bandera. At noon, the parade commenced, and what a parade it was. Floats, cowboys & horses, kids & adults in costume, a guy riding a longhorn, and everybody throwing beads. After the parade, Busbee's BBQ for lunch, then check out the rest of the vendors on 11th Street. By 3:00 p.m., we were all bushed and ready to head home. The weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all.

SAMC 2018 Christmas Party
12/15/2018

On December 15th, 60 people gathered at the Marriott Suites SeaWorld to celebrate another year of camaraderie and friendship. We feasted on Prime Rib or Roast Duck, and I think everyone enjoyed their meal (I know I enjoyed my Roast Duck). After the meal, we held our annual White Elephant gift exchange - 47 people participated and a good time was had by all. Best of all, we had 2 representatives from Dare to Love to accept a check for $3,000 from the club, and the many many gifts and gift cards that our members brought to share with the children that Dare to Love represents. Thank you, one and all, for your generosity.

17 Fillies visited the Don Strange Ranch in Boerne to view all the Christmas lights and setups that were there. We had a great time driving around looking at all the different Christmas visions around the ranch.

Opie's BBQ/Spicewood Vineyards/Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery

01/05/2019

2019 started off great with a San Antonio Mustang Club sponsored cruise to Opie’s BBQ in Spicewood on Saturday, January 5^th. The cruise started at 281 and 1604, straight up the 281 to 71 and over to Spicewood for a total of 75 miles. The neat thing is that we all managed to stay together and 34 cars wound up at Opie’s for a fantastic feast. As always, Opie’s had great food, which makes it our first cruise of the year for 4 years in a row. After Opie’s, several members went for tours and tastings at Spicewood Vineyards and Iron Wood Distillery. Thanks to all the SAMC, WSS, S550, STS and Greater Texas Bullitt Owners for making this such a successful cruise. It is such a popular cruise that we need to do it again this year.

Lone Star Mustang & Ford Round-Up
11/03/2018
It was a beautiful day for people to come out and show off their cars. We had a LOT of Mustangs (of course), but we also had Thunderbirds, Raptors (Ford trucks), plus many other models that came out to support SAMC and Dare to Love. Many thanks to Alamo City Stangs, the S550's, and all the other clubs that participated and helped out. The Kid's Choice award was one of the highlights of the day we had so many kids participating. I think my Bumble Bear in the back seat of my car helped me win the Kid's Choice Award, but I'm not complaining. All in All, a great day for showing off our cars, having some cruises, and we even had the San Antonio Police Department doing VIN etching. Thanks again to all who showed up, and especially all the volunteers helping in various areas.
