FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Submitted by
Glenn Henderson
The summer solstice is getting closer, and we have more
daylight and warmer days.
An effective combination for organizing more gatherings and
Corvette drives.
It is time to prepare our cars for driving. Many friends in the
CVC can accompany each other and travel together. This is what
the club is all about.
The club annual picnic is on Sunday June 1st and as of the last
meeting, on April 22 there were 61members signed up.
Kentucky Derby day at the Eskenders house is Saturday May
3rd It will be a fun day for all.
We have so many activities to participate in and members to
enjoy it with.
Thank you to the members who volunteer their time and effort to
improve these events. We really do appreciate you!
I need a few people to help set up tables and chairs for the
club picnic, and to take them down afterward. Let me know if
you are willing and we will set a time to make it happen.
Bruce and Sheri Garlock have donated their tables, chairs, and
tablecloths again. Thank you both. It is much appreciated.
The board is still experimenting with table and chair placement
at our general meetings at Yosemite Falls Café in Fresno. We
believe we have a better arrangement for next month.
Our club musician Allen Byus has volunteered to bring a large
professional speaker and stand to the general meetings for our
use. This should make it much easier to hear what the board
members are saying. Thank you, Allen!

APRIL
SUNSHINE & CLOUDS
By Debbie Garrison
Robert Still received good news, after his third round of immunotherapy
treatments at double dose level. His tumor has shrunk from 5cm to 1 ½ cm
and it is now operable. He is scheduled for a PET scan on May 2 and
surgery on May 5 th . Please join with me to pray for Robert and the skill
of his surgeons.
Jimmy Webb had his PET Scan and labs, the doctors called and everything
came back clear. God is Good!
My Keith tripped over some roots I left exposed after doing yard work
and took a forehead first header onto the lawn. Thank goodness I had
just watered, and the lawn was soft. Got a huge knot on his forehead,
did not break his glasses, jammed his neck and hurt his ribs. After ice
packs on his head, neck and ribs and a day of rest he is back doing yard
work.
Julie Sons was not feeling very well and did not make it to the meeting.
She was missed and we hope she is feeling better soon.
Kim and Charlie Fosnaugh took their grandchildren on a Spring Break trip
to Angels Camp.
Emily Piercy is in Texas again visiting her new great-grand child. The
third time in five months Tom told us, I think he misses her.
Dee & Chris Salazar’s son Cameron is graduating this May from Fresno
State with his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
Congratulations Cameron! And Mom and Dad too.
Keeping in school mode-Don Eskender has 33 school days left before
retirement. Woohoo!
Speaking of retirement-Brenda Elrich is retiring May 31 st . Double
Woohoo!!
If you have any Sunshine or Clouds or just something to share with your
Corvette Family, you can text or email me anytime.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine – shadows will fall behind you –

SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIES WITH
THE FLYING GROUP - APRIL 2025
A group of about 14 of us met on Saturday night
April 12, 2025 at Triangle Drive-In for a burgers
and fries.
We caravaned over to the hangar at Sierra Sky
Park and met with the Flying Group for fellowship
and the trivia game.
The movie this month was Need For Speed
starring Aaron Paul as a muscle car mechanic and
his friends that drove in underground muscle car
races. He reluctantly gets involved with a
wealthy but treacherous associate. He gets framed
for a crime he did not commit and goes to jail
for two years. When released he is bent on
revenge and gets involved in a high-stakes race.
It was a good movie that kept you on the edge of
your seat.
The EAA Flying Group provided popcorn, water &
soda and there was a selection of desserts to
share with everyone.
Thank you, Diane Tjerrild and the EAA Chapter 376
Group, for hosting the movie and for the
invitation.
Come join us on the second Saturday of May, June,
September and November for a free movie and
snacks.
Wear your Club Badge and bring a dessert to
share.
Thanks to those of you that joined us at Triangle
and for the movie.
