Hi Corvetter’s, just a short note to let<br />
you guys know that I am just so happy<br />
to be your president. I think we're going<br />
to have a great, great year. I have some<br />
big shoes to fill but hopefully I can do as<br />
well as Gary. He did a great job this year<br />
and last year. Our new board is eager to<br />
make your Corvette experience<br />
something that you would remember.<br />
I’m also looking forward to having our<br />
new members get involved with the<br />
club and maybe put on a run. All you<br />
have to do, if you're not sure how to put<br />
on a run, is tap on the shoulder of one<br />
of our members that's been here for a<br />
while.<br />
I’m sure they would be too happy to<br />
help you. I know you would enjoy it and<br />
we would too.<br />
I’ve not a whole lot to say just yet<br />
because we haven't done a whole lot yet<br />
but all our Board wishes you a Great<br />
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<br />
See you all at the next meeting.<br />
Andy

General Meeting Minutes<br />
December 20, 2016<br />
The General Meeting was called to order by<br />
President Gary Pflepsen at 6:30pm. Minutes from<br />
the November meeting were read by President<br />
Pflepsen. Ruth Danielsen made a motion to accept<br />
the minutes as read. The motion was seconded by<br />
Mike Henenfent. Motion carried. Treasurer Mike<br />
Lebda gave the Treasurer’s report. The Christmas<br />
Party expenditures were approximately $3100.00,<br />
which was under budget. Tonight’s raffle raised<br />
$265. A new record! Skip Severance had last<br />
month’s run leaders give reports on their events<br />
which included; Santa Haul (which landed Mike<br />
Lebda on the news), the Christmas Party with 71<br />
attending. Diane Tjerrild thanked everyone for<br />
their coat donations. The Hayride had 78 attending.<br />
Several attended the Rogue One movie this<br />
afternoon. Upcoming runs are 12/27 The SLO Run<br />
– Meet at Denny’s at Jensen Ave and 99 at 9:30am<br />
to leave at 10am. There are 25 cars and 50 people.<br />
2/5 Super Bowl Party at the Anderson’s, 3/4 Run to<br />
Famoso Track just north of Bakersfield, 4/20<br />
Laughlin, 4/29 Rodeo Parade, 5/17 Lake Tahoe and<br />
July 2018 Colorado Tour IV. Skip ended his report<br />
with the fact, during his reign, there were 35 runs in<br />
2015 and 35 runs in 2016, so the new VP of<br />
activities can have no more than 35 runs each year<br />
(ha ha). Charlotte Renna VP of PR and Membership<br />
gave the monthly Birthday and Anniversary report.<br />
Guest attending tonight were Ronnie Dawson and<br />
June Corender and Jeff & Stephanie Engelman.<br />
Charlotte gave a pat on the back for perfect<br />
attendance in 2016 to the following; Andy & Connie<br />
Anderson, Patrick Garrahan, Keith & Debbie<br />
Garrison, Skip Severance, Charlotte Renna, Del &<br />
Sue Walker, Craig & Pam Hansen, Jeff Levine, Gary<br />
& Jan Pflepsen, Dick Johnson, David & Lori Dukes,<br />
and Diane Tjerrild. 4 members did not renew their<br />
membership so we stand at 91 members.<br />
Sgt at<br />
Arms Chuck Laningham collected .50 cents in badge<br />
fines, his own! So he gave the rest of the club a free<br />
pass this month. Jan Pflepsen gave her Sunshine<br />
and Clouds report.<br />
Old Business:<br />
The table arrangements for the meeting will be<br />
correct next month. Management was filling in for<br />
each other and lack of communication. We have<br />
received a verbal yes from Ed Dena for sponsorship<br />
– waiting for the check.<br />
New Business:<br />
Andy Anderson took his position as Incoming<br />
President. He announced there will be a Mystery<br />
Tour. Andy has asked Mike Henenfent to run the<br />
Raffle and Lynne Henenfent will be selling the raffle<br />
tickets. Debbie Garrison will be doing the Sunshine<br />
and Cloud report. Ruth Danielson announced her<br />
youngest brother passed last week from liver<br />
disease and made a plea that if anyone has a friend<br />
or family member with a drinking problem to not<br />
give up and keep trying to get the person help. The<br />
next General Meeting will be Tuesday, <strong>January</strong> 17,<br />
<strong>2017</strong>. The next Board meeting will be Tuesday,<br />
<strong>January</strong> 3, <strong>2017</strong>, 7pm at Andy Anderson’s. A motion<br />

The Store Continues;<br />
<strong>Central</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Corvettes</strong> is a social organization and relies on meeting<br />
and especially activities to provide a place or venue for that<br />
socialization and personal interaction to take place.<br />
Activities:<br />
The first year we had 40 Activities not counting meetings. In 1996 the<br />
Club had 56 activities. A list of those activities is included to give you<br />
some ideas. Activities require a little time, a little effort and a little work<br />
and are more fun if you have several people helping you. Whether you<br />
are having an activity in your home or are chairing a run of several days.<br />
It’s a great way to get others involved and is usually a lot of fun for the<br />
people helping with the preparation and for you the Leader.<br />
We’ve had many great Runs. Some are grand affairs like the Opening of<br />
The Corvette Museum or <strong>Central</strong> Coast Classic, the Hawaii Run and the<br />
Cruise to the Mexico Riviera. We’ve been to the Coast, Sedona, Jerome,<br />
the Grand Canyon, the Oregon Coast, and the Columbia River, to<br />
Laughlin & Las Vegas, Sacramento, the South West Tour and the most<br />
recent North West Tour. Some runs are just dinner runs, a trip to a<br />
Museum, a drive in the Mountains or just Queen Haul, the point being a<br />
run can be anything you enjoy and want to share with 20 or 30 or 40 of<br />
your best friends. I’ve never been on a bad run!<br />
Membership:<br />
Membership for the last 25 years has averaged in the 80’s to the 90’s,<br />
with losses of 3 to 5 couples at renewal time and about the same number<br />
of new members joining us during the year. Some Members stay for a<br />
few years or until their priorities change, some stay forever. Others<br />
leave and return and we are happy to have them back. Life changes and<br />
CVC has changed with it.<br />
Members and participation are the lifeblood of any organization<br />
especially a social organization like ours. Recruit new members, lead an<br />
activity or help with an activity, think about becoming a Board Member.<br />
And the roar of the engine goes on…………………….<br />

COLD VETTE<br />
How a White 1982 Corvette Ended Up in Iceland<br />
You never know where a Corvette is going to turn up.<br />
Take, for example, this white 1982 Corvette that left the United States and today is<br />
roaring along on the roads of Iceland!<br />
The owner, Sigfus B. Sverrisson, has been around cars his whole life, thanks to his<br />
grandfather – the man who founded the company that imported Volkswagens, Land<br />
Rovers, and Audis to Iceland years ago.<br />
Sverrisson says he could identify vehicles by their headlights by the time he was four<br />
years old, but it was on a trip to America that he fell in love with <strong>Corvettes</strong>.<br />
He and his mom were enjoying a float at a Howard Johnson’s when a Corvette pulled<br />
into the parking lot. It was love at first sight for Sverrisson, who says the sports car<br />
looked like it was going 200 miles per hour.<br />
Once he returned home to Iceland, it took him 10 years, but he finally became one of<br />
only two Corvette owners in the entire country at that time!<br />
Now, he drives this white 1982 that he imported from America, prompting lots of curious<br />
glances from fellow motorists in Iceland.<br />
“When people see it they smile, they look at it and they wonder if they know <strong>Corvettes</strong><br />
at all,” Sverrisson says. That smile seems to be a universal reaction to<br />
<strong>Corvettes</strong>. Enjoy this scenic video of driving his Corvette in Iceland.

Happy New Year! I<br />
hope everyone had an<br />
enjoyable holiday and that the New Year will be happy and healthy for you and<br />
yours. As Skip reported in the December newsletter, there was a total of 34 runs in<br />
both 2015 and 2016. Let’s plan to beat that in <strong>2017</strong>! Looking below, you can see<br />
that we need to get to work if we are going to accomplish that. All kinds of runs are<br />
welcome---movie runs, dinner runs, day runs, and overnight or longer runs. I would<br />
especially like to encourage newer members to consider planning a run. If you need<br />
help with the planning process, all you need to do is ask—there are plenty of “old”<br />
members willing to help. We even have a handout on how to put on a run and if<br />
you would like a copy just ask me. Remember runs are really what this club is about<br />
and the more we do, the more fun we will have! DICK DANIELSEN<br />
