….... a word from our President
Members of CVC are brought together because of their love of Corvette automobiles. CVC is really
more than that. Even our By-Laws state 'To bring together owners of Corvette automobiles in a
mutually beneficial social environment'. We are social creatures and are wried to connect with each
other. That's what makes CVC so great. We have a large group for interaction and support. That makes
it hard to interact with everyone during events. Please do your best to keep in touch and get to know
our new members.
A big change for CB radios sold in the U.S. has been recently approved by the FCC. Manufacturers can
now offer FM mode on their radios along with the current standard AM mode. Yes, it is a big change
that can provide improved audio quality and less background noise, for those within range and using
FM mode. There are pros and cons for this change. If you are operating in AM mode, as our club
currently does, and nearby operators are using FM mode on the same channel, that could cause more
noise on our radios. Radios with both modes are just becoming available. Output power will remain
the same at 4 watts, and you should be able to use the same antenna. No you do not need to buy a new
radio now. Maybe in the near future a few of us will have a radio with FM mode and see how it works.
See you on our next run.
Your President,
Jeff

MEMBERSHIP REPORT by JULIE SONS
I heard our local Meteorologists say that August is the hottest month
of the year but I don’t think it takes a weather expect to tell us that,
right? I hope everyone is staying as cool as possible in this HOT
weather. Since there are no official holiday’s in August I thought I
would take a look at the fun Holiday calendar where there is a silly
celebration for everyday of the month and found out it is considered
‘lazy day’ on my birthday. So celebrate it with me August 10 because it
is Lazy Day. Celebrate your inner couch potato by giving up all your daily chores and doing
nothing the whole daylong!

thoughts. Sue Comer made a motion to continue as it is and to allow Members to decline or accept as

they wish. Discussion was held and Jodie Webb suggested of instead of a cash incentive that it should be

Central Valley Corvettes

Formed in 1991, Central Valley Corvettes (CVC) is 30 years strong and, in our
opinion, one of the best Corvette Clubs around. We are a not-for- profit
organization, comprised of numerous Corvette Enthusiasts from all around the
Central Valley. CVC is a family, always striving to improve the organization
through new and innovative ideas frequently brought on by new members.

president, a vice-president/activities coordinator, a vice-president/public
relations and membership, a secretary, and a treasurer. All shall be valid regular
members of CENTRAL VALLEY CORVETTES. The president must have at least
one-year prior service as an officer of CENTRAL VALLEY CORVETTES or at least
one year prior service on a qualifying non-profit board, corporate board, or a
member of Central Valley Corvettes for two years in good standing as
determined by Central Valley Corvettes

PRESIDENT. The president shall be the chief executive officer and chairman of
the board. The president shall preside at all general, annual and special
meetings of the members and at the meetings of the Board of Directors. In
general, the president shall perform all duties incident to the office of president
and other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors from time to
time.

other duties as from time to time may be assigned by the president and/or the
Board of directors.

VICE PRESIDENT OF PUBLIC RELATION/MEMBERSHIP: The vice

the incumbent will award name badges and other club related materials to the

president, the vice-president/activities coordinator; and in general, perform all
the duties incident to the office of treasurer and such other duties as from time

Our expectation is that you would consider and accept a nomination if you are
elected by a member in good standing to run for a position. Most of the current
board members would love to see new members take over their positions on
the board so our club could experience fresh new ideas. If you are interested
but hesitant or would like to know more about a position please ask us.

JULY SUNSHINE & CLOUDS
Surgery Update(s)
Marci Jarvis had hip surgery on 7/11 and was in the hospital a day.
She is now recovering nicely at home and should be up and about
soon.
Charlotte Renna was re-scheduled for hip surgery due to her pre
operative labs showing her sodium level was out-of-whack. She is
rescheduled for July 28 th . Hang in there Charlotte
Motor Vehicle Accident
Araceli & Jasmine were in a vehicle accident last week and are
currently in rehab three times per week due to injuries sustained. They
are dealing with medical and car insurance now because the person
that hit them was uninsured. Ugh!
Feeling Much Better
Janet King said her sciatica pain is about 75% better after experiencing
a “partial healing” a few weeks ago. She wants to thank everyone for
their continued prayers.
Need of Prayers
Vickie Garrison developed a blood clot in her arm and had a procedure
to break it up. She now, thankfully, has use of her arm. Unfortunately,
she is still having problems associated with the cancer she was
diagnosed with last summer. Please keep her in your thoughts and
prayers.
Blessed Times
Larry & Janet King are having a great time visiting with their great
grandkids in Texas.
Great News
Keith & Debbie finally got their air conditioning repaired and back after it
was broke several months ago. Patrick installed it in their Vette last
week! Yeah, they’re cool again.
Mike & Jeanie King’s oldest daughter who lives in Dallas just graduated
from Law School and is taking the bar at the end of this month. Their
youngest daughter is getting married in Memphis, TN Saturday July
23 rd . Their son just purchased a house in North Carolina.

Covid Related Issues:
Charlie Fosnaugh had an ordeal after testing positive right after last
month’s meeting and was in quarantine for a 10-day period of time. He
is ok and back in the saddle again.
Dale & Sue Comer were dismissed from a Viking cruise due to Covid.
He was asymptomatic but on 2 nd day they were sent to quarantine for
10-days in a hotel in Germany. Super bummer!
Lori returned from a fabulous trip to France. If you are her Facebook
friend you got a treat to see her beautiful pictures. It looked like a lot of
fun and it felt like you were there with her.
R&R
The Lebda’s are heading to Montana for a week for some R&R. Also,
Mike updated us that he had an unscheduled procedure during a
routine test. He is doing much better and is up and about.
The Henefent’s and the Lebda’s are going on the American Queen
Paddle Steamboat Cruise on the Mississippi River in Tennessee at the
end of July. Sounds like a fun time. Enjoy.
Jill Rosen went on a Disneyland trip with her Son, daughter-in-law and
the grandkids last weekend. With her two hip replacements she wasn’t
sure how she would do but apparently that wasn’t an issue at all. It was
all the other mishaps…. She was stung by a bee and is allergic and
didn’t bring an epipen; she was struck in the neck by a shard of metal
after someone dropped a cup in front of her; a bird pooped on her
head and she dropped her cell phone in the toilet. Sound like a good
time!!
The Webbs & Josh/Marina took a trip (sounds like a pre-run) down
Route 66 in Laughlin (picturesque) and then ended up in Palm Springs.
It was hot but they had a good time.
If you have any news (good or not so good) and you would like to share
with us, please send an e-mail to me at juliebomb@yahoo.com or call

China Peak
Scenic Chair Ride
Saturday August 27th
We will leave from the NE corner of Fowler and Herndon Ave. near Starbucks (1845
Herndon Ave, Clovis) at 8:00 am and take Hwy 168 to China Peak at beautiful
Huntington Lake. This will be a BYOB (bring your own bag lunch) event. Food options
are limited at the resort and this is a perfect place for a picnic. Be prepared for a nice
drive, cool weather and great views !
Take a 15 – 20 minute one way scenic chair ride from 7000 feet up to 8700 feet. Enjoy
panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains with beautiful Huntington Lake as
your backdrop. All chair lift riders must get off at the top, take pictures (it's a total must
do), and ride the chair back to the bottom. All chair lift riders must sign a activities
participant's release. No trip fee, those riding the chair lift will pay the $27 per adult at
China Peak.
Those that do not wish to ride the chair lift can enjoy the cool mountain air at the resort
base. The lodge will be open for inside seating if desired and limited food service.
Contact Jeff if you have any questions.

JOIN US ON THE 2022 “STRIKE IT RICH”
PRESIDENT’S MYSTERY RUN
OK, SO IT’S NOT SUCH A MYSTERY BUT
THAT WON’T STOP US FROM HAVING A
‘MOTHER LOAD’ OF FUN
Tuesday, October 11 th thru Friday, 14 th
Our first overnight stop will be Jackson/
SuTer Creek for two nights and then on to
Nevada City/Grass Valley for our final
night. For those who are signed up I will be
emailing you the informaZon to book your
room. Be sure to tell them you are with
Central Valley CorveTes. The first two
nights are $122.09 per night, including
taxes. The final night is $125.62, including
taxes.
Contact Jeff Engelman for more info
Currently there is a 20 car limit but I can
look into booking addiZonal rooms if there
is more interest.
The Spanish term La Veta Madre (The Mother Load) refers to
a rich vein of gold that included the region from Mariposa to
Downieville. In 1848 James Marshall discovered gold along
the American River, and the race for riches was on. We will
be spending three nights along State Route 49, the main
route linking gold country towns and visit landmarks,
museums, and other desKnaKons.
Many of the original mining towns
described by historians have vanished
and landmarks become fewer each
year as Kme, fires, and progress take
their toll. Plan to see it before it's gone

Thanks to those who went out Wed, June 29th to ELVIS!
Thanks to Debbie G.
for these pictures!
