the outstanding turnout and the<br />
input received from our members, the<br />
<strong>Central</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Corvettes</strong> <strong>June</strong> 1 picnic at<br />
Kroekerville can be classified as an<br />
overwhelming success.<br />
This event was made possible by a variety of<br />
people including the Kroeker’s for opening up<br />
the venue, your CVC board which came up with<br />
the event and you the members who showed up<br />
in strong numbers and participated in the salsa<br />
and dessert contests as well as contesting for<br />
prizes.<br />
We had around 65 people attend which is about<br />
80% of the club, and they were treated to a<br />
delicious taco luncheon with “made from<br />
scratch” tortillas. A four piece mariachi band<br />
entertained us during our meal and the desserts<br />
and homemade salsa and chips rounded out a<br />
fantastic afternoon. Several couples that we<br />
seldom see at our monthly meetings attended<br />
and it is good to see them doing well. Hopefully<br />
they can find the time to visit us occasionally on<br />
the third Tuesday of each month at Yosemite<br />
Falls.<br />
At this point, the picnic was a one shot deal.<br />
But with the positive comments, perhaps an<br />
annual event such as this should be considered.<br />
Complimented by our annual Christmas party,<br />
which is largely subsidized by your annual dues,<br />
a midyear picnic would give as a major social<br />
event every six months. Perhaps at our <strong>June</strong><br />
17th meeting we can have a discussion and vote<br />
and create a club picnic as a perpetual event.<br />
The second annual Hansen President’s Mystery<br />
Run is coming up at the end of September. We<br />
had two couples sign up at the picnic bringing<br />
the total to 28 people, or 14 cars. If you are still<br />
considering going with us, time is becoming<br />
critical. I blocked several hotel rooms, but<br />
those extra rooms will have to be released the<br />
day following our <strong>June</strong> 17th meeting. That<br />
means if you decide later that you want to go,<br />
there is no guarantee that our host hotels will<br />
have any available rooms.<br />
In case you missed it, the Mystery Run will be<br />
from Monday September 29 to Friday, October<br />
3. The cost is $1,100 per couple and the first<br />
installment of $550 is due now, with the<br />
remaining $550 payable at the August 20th club<br />
meeting.<br />
CRAIG<br />
An important element to the picnic was the fact<br />
it was entirely supported by club dues. With our<br />
newsletter now electronic, the savings in postage<br />
this year enabled us to pull this off with a budget<br />
of $1,500.
