June 2018 – Newsletter The rainy weather apparently kept a lot of 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!
Congratulations to Fred Phillips, Bucky Beerman and
Wayne Harris! They took 2nd, 1st, and 3rd,
respectively, at the Mexico Car Show on June 9th. Thanks to the sponsorship of Cheney Tire, our members
were invited to Corvette night at the Can Am Speedway on June 15th.
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.
