people away from the Admiral’s Inn dinner meeting. We were poised to set a new attendance record, but we had several no-shows. Still, we had 50 in attendance.

As usual the Admiral’s Inn treated us well. They seem to bend over backward to accommodate us. Everyone loves going there.

What a fun night – boisterous -- and for a select few, financially rewarding. The winner of the 50/50 raffle was Sylvia Dion – yes – she won again!

We had a great turnout for the first ice cream cruise of the season on May 30^th, to The Trolley in Henderson. There were about 15 cars, and even our sponsor, Dwight Davidson, showed up!

Congratulations to Fred Phillips, Bucky Beerman and Wayne Harris! They took 2^nd, 1^st, and 3^rd, respectively, at the Mexico Car Show on June 9^th.

Thanks to the sponsorship of Cheney Tire, our members were invited to Corvette night at the Can Am Speedway on June 15^th. We were treated like VIP’s all night: free admission, free food, special seating and a fun night of racing!

This is a picture of “Lucy”. A prototype model Corvette, she was the star of the show at the Kingston Corvette Invasion, June 22-23.

I wish you could have seen all the Corvettes parked around City Hall and Market Square Friday night. It was handled so smoothly by the volunteers and the Kingston Police. We drew quite a crowd to say the least. The road tours on Saturday were terrific – at least ours was. I expect the other three were equally nice. That took some planning to execute four different tours, almost simultaneously. The lunch at Olympic Harbor was so efficiently handled. I had my doubts how they were going to feed 300 plus people in such a short length of time – but they pulled it off. Such attention to detail too! The luncheon plates were very good and nutritious, and they even had special Invasion decorated cakes for dessert. Ron and I took the Trolley Tour in the afternoon and that was quite enjoyable too. I have to say though, the dinner/dance on Saturday night was the cherry on top of a great weekend “sundae”. The food was excellent, and presented beautifully. The buffet lines were so efficient that nobody had to wait very long to get their food. The band was terrific too! I think the hit of the weekend though was Lucy. How John managed to pull that off is just short of miraculous!

Many kudos to John & Heather Price and their hard-working team for a fantastic weekend.
