Golden Hills Mustang Club Wins Golden Rule Award
The 180 members of the Golden Hills Mustang Club celebrated after winning the grand prize in the 19th annual Eagle One Golden Rule Awards contest. This prize is awarded annually to the car club with the most compassionate achievement. The Fairfield, California club was honored for sending 75-pound packages of food, toiletries, magazines and other necessities to U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq every month of 2011. Car clubs in four regions of the U.S. were recognized and rewarded for conducting the most outstanding community service program in their region during 2011. SAN-member clubs winning the regional awards were Golden Hills Mustang Club (West), Vintage Wheels Car Club (Midwest) and Lost In The '50s Car Club (East). A donation of $500 was made to favorite charities of the other three winners. In addition to these donations, the clubs received a custom-designed award, Eagle One appearance car products and Valvoline oil for fundraising purposes.
"Eagle One has been proud to honor car clubs for the outstanding work they perform in their communities while actively engaged in the preservation of one of our country's greatest heritages, the automobile," said Robert McCarter, Eagle One brand manager.
