August 2019 - Newsletter
We got lucky with the weather once again on meeting night. It started out a little overcast, but we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over Lake Ontario from the windows of the Waterside in Henderson Harbor.
Our numbers were a little less than normal due to several members being in the National Corvette Caravan to Bowling Green. I’m sure they had a great time. We also had a great time, thanks to the generosity of Billy Caprara. Not only was the food and service terrific, but once again we were entertained by some talented comedians. We were also surprised by the free dessert included with our meals.
Thank you Mr. Caprara!
Our August 8th joint event with Eastern Ontario Corvette, a Coyote Moon Wine Cruise, was a lot of fun. I have had several requests to do it again next year!
Corvette Night at the Evans Mills Speedway, originally scheduled for Sept. 7th, has been postponed indefinitely. Sorry.
Dave W. is busy planning our fall cruise. We will let you know the details by email, when they have been finalized.
Charitable donation suggestions are due by the September meeting. We have fewer funds available this year, so donations will probably be limited to three.
All current officers were nominated to remain in office. Elections will take place in September.
The September dinner meeting will be held at Ray’s Pub & Grub on Wednesday, the 25th.
You must pre-select from a limited menu. The cost is $25.00 per person, including tax & tip.

Details will be sent out by separate email.
The October and November dinners have not yet been scheduled, but we are looking at perhaps Stefano’s in Carthage, and Steak & Brew in Turin.
Our Christmas party this year is scheduled for Friday, December 13th, at O’Brien’s in Clayton.
O’Brien’s is directly across the street from the Harbor Hotel, which makes it convenient for anyone who wishes to stay overnight.
Last, but not least, the weather and people’s schedules just aren’t cooperating in the planning of another ice cream cruise. We will try to squeeze another one in before colder temps set in.
SAVE THE WAVE!!!!
