Hi Corvetter’s:<br />

Should have a fun time. We are going to<br />

do some fun things. It makes me feel so<br />

good that are club is growing.<br />

Make sure to make our new members<br />

feel welcome. I think we have a great<br />

club with great members. What else can<br />

you hope for? Remember team work<br />

makes the dream work.<br />

May Your Troubles Be Less<br />

And Your Blessings Be More<br />

General Meeting Minutes 2-20-18<br />

Boy, these baby pictures are getting harder!<br />

The General Meeting was called to order by<br />

President Andy Anderson at 6:33pm. Minutes<br />

from the January meeting were read. The only<br />

correction – the Hayes have been married 56<br />

years not 53years. With the correction – Chuck<br />

Laningham made a motion to accept the minutes.<br />

Joyce Kroeker seconded. Darlene Derringer gave<br />

the Treasurer’s report. Tonight’s raffle brought<br />

in $280. Winners <strong>of</strong> the $50 bills were Jill Rosen<br />

and Valerie Merritt. Way to go Girls!!<br />

VP <strong>of</strong> Public Relations, Dick Johnson welcomed<br />

our newest members, the Merritt’s, sponsored<br />

by Aimee Parkin. Dick contacted our insurance<br />

company and found out our coverage is not<br />

dependent on our members having coverage.<br />

While they applauded our effort, it is not<br />

necessary to keep updated cards in our file, once<br />

a year with your renewal is adequate. We have<br />

new updated business cards. These are great for<br />

giving out to prospective members. Birthdays<br />

totaled 473 years and Anniversaries totaled 150<br />

years. The Merritt’s were<br />

presented with a $25 gift card to<br />

Panera for the longest marriage<br />

this month at 55 years! VP <strong>of</strong><br />

Activities, Dick Danielsen went<br />

over the 3 runs we have had<br />

since our last meeting, Movie night, Super Bowl<br />

Party and the well attended (47 members)<br />

Valentine Dinner at Cattlemen’s. There are 5+<br />

future runs, including our annual<br />

President/Mystery Run, June 28 th – July 1st. 12<br />

ladies are headed to Napa to cheer on Judy<br />

Capurro. Check out the newsletter for more<br />

information on all our future runs. Chuck<br />

Laningham collected a mere $1.00 in badge<br />

fines. Debbie Garrison gave her Sunshine and<br />

Clouds report even though her computer was<br />

giving her challenges. Connie Olson is home<br />

following rehab.<br />

Lynne Henenfent’s Mom<br />

passed at age 88. The Hayes welcomed great<br />

grandchild #3.<br />

Old Business – After discussion with Craig<br />

Hansen, Andy is refunding $9.94 (but he is<br />

throwing in a few cents to make it an even $10)<br />

to each couple that attended his last President’s<br />

Run. In the future, Run Leaders will have the<br />

choice <strong>of</strong> refunding unspent run fees back to the<br />

participates or add it to the Club account.<br />

New Business – The Comer’s and the Hansen’s<br />

have invited club members to join them on a<br />

Cruise that starts in Australia and goes to<br />

Hawaii, in April 2019. For more info, contact<br />

Dale Comer.<br />

Tonight’s baby picture belongs to Tom Piercy.<br />

The bow in the hair threw us all <strong>of</strong>f. No one<br />

guessed correctly, so Tom won a pair <strong>of</strong> gloves.<br />

Next Board meeting will be at the Derringer’s,<br />

Tuesday, February 27 th at 7pm. Craig Derringer<br />

made a motion to adjourn the meeting at<br />

7:26pm. Ruthie Danielsen seconded.<br />

2019 National Corvette Caravan<br />

All roads lead to Bowling Green, Kentucky for the 25th Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the National Corvette Museum<br />

Frequently Asked Questions, Lodging, Parking, Select a State, Outside USA, News, Caravan Merchandise<br />

Often referred to as the world’s largest moving automotive event, the National Corvette Caravan is a<br />

celebration <strong>of</strong> America’s Sports Car, culminating in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the anniversary<br />

celebration <strong>of</strong> the National Corvette Museum. Hosted only once every five years, the next event is<br />

slated for Labor Day Weekend 2019 and will mark the Museum’s 25th Anniversary. Leading the charge<br />

will be Jeffrey Duda <strong>of</strong> Hainesport, NJ, a Lifetime Member <strong>of</strong> the Museum and previous co-captain <strong>of</strong><br />

the New Jersey 2014 and 2009 Caravans.<br />

The 6th National Corvette Caravan is slated for August 28-31, 2019. Regional caravans will form<br />

and join other caravans as they travel across the United States to meet in Bowling Green, Kentucky<br />

for four days <strong>of</strong> festivities at the National Corvette Museum. An event such as this requires years <strong>of</strong><br />

planning and coordinating. All help is appreciated! The Museum is located at I-65, exit 28 in South<br />

<strong>Central</strong> Kentucky and is open daily, 8-5 <strong>Central</strong> Time.<br />

Ok, we have several CVC members that<br />

are interested in going to Bowling Green,<br />

Kentucky in August 2019.<br />

I will keep you informed and we may have<br />

a club speaker soon to tell us more about it<br />

and answer questions.<br />

Stay Tuned!!<br />

I am looking for a Run Co-Captain<br />

for our club to work with me on this!<br />

Pacific <strong>Central</strong><br />

Northern California, Northern Nevada, Utah<br />

This is a revised post to the home page for the Northern California – Northern Nevada – Utah<br />

section <strong>of</strong> the 2014 National Corvette Caravan. I am Don Herzer, Publications Director for the Western<br />

States Corvette Council (WSCC). I served as Captain <strong>of</strong> the NorCal section <strong>of</strong> the 2014 Caravan. Since<br />

we had a great time for the most part, they asked me to return as Captain for 2019.<br />

I have elected to give our section a nickname – Pacific <strong>Central</strong> Corvette Caravan – which is easily<br />

further shortened to Pacific <strong>Central</strong> and PCCC.<br />

This is much less cumbersome than listing the whole three states. Also, if I shorten it to NorCal (as I<br />

did in 2014), then N. Nevada and Utah feel left out. Please note that even if you are not going all the<br />

way to Bowling Green, you are welcome to join in the Caravan out <strong>of</strong> CA as far as you like, or just join<br />

us at the launch site (TBD), as many have done in the past.<br />

Our Route: Contrary to my initial posting, I have decided against replicating the 2014 itinerary.<br />

Instead we will take a new route favoring scenic less travelled roads, with fun activities and visits to<br />

unique places along the way. I am still ironing out the details, but here is a rough outline:<br />

• Day 1: We will launch in the morning on Thurs. 8/22 somewhere in the Fairfield area and take<br />

highway 50 through the Sierra, arriving in Carson City in time for lunch and maybe other<br />

activities, and then head to Fallon, NV for other activities and spend the night.


• Day 2 (Friday 8/23): We will travel to Salina, UT along the Loneliest Hiway in the US, with fun<br />

activities TBD.<br />

• Day 3 (Saturday 8/24): Tentatively set to end in Estes Park, CO, Travelling through Rocky Mt.<br />

Ntl. Park.<br />

• Day 4 (Sunday 8/25): Activities around Golden, CO. Overnight in Fort Morgan, CO.<br />

• Day 5 (Monday 8/26): End up in St. Joseph, MO.<br />

• Day 6 (Tuesday 8/27): Get to Effingham, IL and visit Mid-America.<br />

• Day 7 (Wednesday 8/28): On to Bowling Green. We will link up with the So. CA section before<br />

entering Bowling Green so there will be a combined CA/NV group entering the NCM.<br />

Registration for both the Caravan and the festivities is not open at this time. Note that the 2019<br />

Corvette Caravan and the NCM 25th Anniversary are two separate events, each with their own<br />

registration, which is expected to be available on the NCM web site starting in mid-Sept. In the<br />

meantime, I will be working on blocking sets <strong>of</strong> rooms at hotels along the route, but I don’t expect<br />

registration to be available until approximately fall <strong>of</strong> <strong>2018</strong>. I will be compiling all this and much<br />

more into a Route Book that will be available to registered participants Spring 2019.<br />

If you are serious about going on this section <strong>of</strong> the Caravan, please send me an email<br />

so I can keep you informed about lodging and optional activities that we may set up.<br />

If you have no idea what going on the Caravan would be like, here is a link to a write-up that I did<br />

about the experiences we had on the 2014 Caravan: 2014 Caravan Experience<br />

You can help promote the Caravan by decorating your car with a window sticker, flag(s), and/or a<br />

rear window "Follow Me To Bowling Green" decal – all available from me. Contact me for pricing<br />

and availability. If you would like to volunteer to help me in this venture, I would welcome that. I<br />

will also be looking for sponsors to help defray some <strong>of</strong> the costs. Keep in mind that any donations<br />

are tax deductible. You may reach me via:<br />

Debbie Garrison<br />

We were sad to hear that Lynne Henenfent lost her 88-year old Mom on February 2 nd .<br />

Our sympathies to Lynne and Mike and family.<br />

Chuck and Sharon Hall sent us some sad news about Jim Phillips. Jim and Rachelle Phillips<br />

were members from the early days <strong>of</strong> our Club and have lived in Morro Bay for some<br />

time. Jim lost his battle with cancer and its effects on Sunday February 18, <strong>2018</strong>. Jim was<br />

diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 1993, and has survived through several<br />

bouts <strong>of</strong> cancer. Last year he developed a serious lung infection, was hospitalized 3 weeks<br />

ago with pneumonia. He was at home receiving hospice care when he passed.<br />

Good news for Connie Olson she is home after breaking several bones in her hand, having<br />

surgery and then spending time in the hospital and then a few weeks at a rehab. She is<br />

now receiving rehab at home. Send her a card to let her know you’re thinking about her.<br />

Ed Kroeker is doing great! He can now ride his stationery bike for 30 minutes and getting<br />

stronger every day. Keeping praying for Ed’s continued progress.<br />

Great News for Joanne Crafton; Charlotte Renna’s sister. Joanne and her husband Mike<br />

Crafton were long time members in the Club some years back. Joanne recently had a<br />

colonoscopy and has now been cancer free for 10 years!!<br />

Terri Parks is attending a Knitting Convention this coming weekend. We’ll have to get a<br />

report at the next meeting.<br />

Charlotte spent some time this month relaxing and enjoying the beautiful sunsets in the<br />

desert. While she was in the desert she honed her skills at sharp shooting with daughter<br />

Michelle and son-in-law JT and posted it on Facebook which earned the nick name <strong>of</strong><br />

Dirty Harriette by Don Olsen.


Charlotte was leaving the day after our meeting to go to Vegas with Michelle and JT.<br />

We’ll have to wait until next month to see how lucky she was but with a great Family like<br />

hers; she’s pretty lucky even if she doesn’t win at the slots.<br />

Tom & Marcie were happy to share that they helped celebrate their Great-grandson<br />

Thomas’ first birthday. Congrats!<br />

More Great-grandparent news Diane and Mike Hayes will soon welcome their 3 rd Great-<br />

Grandchild. Congrats to them also.<br />

David and Lori Dukes spent the past weekend at the Coast with their grandson James.<br />

They are going to have James who is 8 years, autistic and very busy living with them for<br />

the next 2 months. David asks that you keep him in your prayers! Lori also babysits their<br />

three-year-old granddaughter Maisie every week. They are going to be very tired<br />

grandparents.<br />

That’s it for me this month. Sorry if I missed something, please email me your Sunshine or<br />

Clouds anytime.<br />

Your Sunshine Girl, Debbie G.

Mid-Engine Chevrolet Corvette Looks<br />

Ready For <strong>2018</strong> Debut!<br />

By Staff Reporter | February 10, <strong>2018</strong><br />

It is no secret that GM’s Chevrolet Corvette is moving into a different style and it is one that<br />

involves a mid-engine setup. This is a first for a Corvette and the mid-engine configuration would<br />

mean seeing the car trying to compete with the mainstream supercars. But when exactly can we<br />

expect to see the mid-engine Corvette in action?<br />

This is a question that has no answers at the moment but we do have clues that can <strong>of</strong>fer a rough<br />

idea on the debut date for the highly anticipated car. The clues are in the form <strong>of</strong> spy shots and<br />

the latest shots have surfaced earlier today to show-<strong>of</strong>f a car that looks ready to make its first<br />

public appearance. The shots are shared on Autoblog and you can see that the exterior design is<br />

now established. Furthermore, the car has been doing performance tests for countless times<br />

already and we don’t think that there is much more to be done with the car.<br />

In other words, there is a strong potential for the mid-engine Corvette to debut this year via a<br />

major auto show and we will get back here once we receive more information on the matter.<br />

CVC<br />

Activities<br />

Schedule<br />

I know I am beginning to sound like a broken record; however, the new year is<br />

underway and, as you can see from the scheduled activities, we are <strong>of</strong>f to a<br />

rather slow beginning. Since January 1 st , including the below listed runs, we<br />

only have a total <strong>of</strong> 10 events. Please “put on your thinking caps” and begin to<br />

formulate some good ideas for runs this year-----if you have some thoughts for a<br />

run but maybe are a bit unsure as to how to go about putting everything<br />

together, ask me or most any other “old” member for assistance as we would be<br />

glad to help you. Remember, the more runs we do, the more fun we will have!<br />

Girls Run to Judy Capurro’s<br />

Twelve <strong>of</strong> our Corvette/Domino group went to Napa to honor Judy Capurro for her loss <strong>of</strong><br />

Gordon. Due to their hospitality it seemed they honored us. Judy lives in a lovely cottage beside<br />

her daughters beautiful home that is surrounded by vineyards. We spent the day visiting &<br />

playing dominos. We gathered in Frieda’s room for before dinner drinks then on to an Italian<br />

restaurant. Of course we returned back to the motel for more dominos. It was a wonderful trip.<br />
