Late Breaking News

New FCOA Director is a member of Capital City Corvette Club!

Members,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I get to announce that one of our members, my wife, Melissa Felts has accepted the appointment to be the new National Director of the FCOA. FCOA (FUTURE CORVETTE OWNERS ASSN.) is the youth organization of NCCC. It's a unique "Corvette Club for kids" formed to interest the younger generation in the Corvette hobby. This is the generation that is the Corvette enthusiast of the 21st century! FCOA members are the foundation of NCCC's future and hopefully FCOA members will go on to be active NCCC members when they turn 16. Capital city has carried numerous youths in the FCOA program and my wife and I have sponsored both of our kids in this program.

Melissa has shared some of her ideas with me and the new VP of Competition (Rene Cardenas - from MI RCD) is also interested in supporting some changes to the program to get the kids more involved. I am personally excited for the FCOA program to get some fresh energy and ideas.

Kyle Felts, President
Capital City Corvette Club
