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 />

7:20pm.<br />

Respectfully submitted by<br />

Terry Johnson, Secretary<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.


CVC<br />

Activities<br />

Schedule<br />

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 />
