And Now From Our President…
Been hot enough for ya? I wonder what August is going to be like if you could fry eggs on your hood most of July. Makes you just pray for winter, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not.
We have had a lot of activity since last month. We met for a good breakfast that Angela arranged. Terry and Chris put on a fine Drive & Dine. There was the Sparrow Hospice benefit show with the Capital Area Muscle Car Club, which was a great success thanks to all the volunteers. We had a fantastic weekend of autocross at Spartan Speedway thanks to the great organizing skills of Rich and Colleen, even camping out there and making it a mini-vacation. Quite a few of us went to Jackson for their monthly Cruise-In, where we were the featured club. That got a bit damp, to say the least, but we ate good, and like always had fun with our friends in CCCC and the Jackson club. Check out the event list for upcoming things to do.
Speaking of things to do, the Board wants to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep interest up in the club. – but, we need your help. Please let us know about other things you would like to see on the menu (besides all the good food that is upsetting my diet). I realize it is hard to please everyone all the time, but we come together as a club mostly to have a good time with others who have similar interests (our Corvettes). We are just a car club. We exist because of you, the members. One club event a year is a fundraiser for our operating expenses (the annual autocross event). The car shows (and this year a garage sale) are benefits so we can support those less fortunate within our community, with all proceeds going to charity or scholarships. I imagine there are a lot of other things we can do that are just for fun and friendship, and not necessarily real organized or for raising money.
I would like to hear some ideas from all of you. I’ll compile them and present them back to everyone. Maybe we can add some more or different events to the calendar so those who haven’t had time for, or interest in, some of the things we now do will become more active. Wouldn’t it be great to have every member show up at once? Just once?
Here is a newsletter cover for the CCCC from 1970. Former member Mike Spinsky stopped by the house the other day and dropped off a few copies. I’ll bring them to the next meeting. Mike now has two C4’s – a coupe and a convertible, and is hoping to drop by and visit at the next meeting. Maybe he can pass along a few tales from the past.
