March 2019 - Newsletter
We had a pretty decent night for our March dinner
meeting. I think if there hadn’t been so much salt still on the roads,
some of us would have driven our Vettes!
As always, everyone enjoyed Art’s pizza and salad.
Some lucky members got to take home some leftovers!
Our newest member, Tom Shaughnessy, has purchased
John Bach’s 1974 Silver Coupe. He is thrilled to finally be a proud
Corvette owner!
Tom and Darren are planning a spring cruise to
VanBortel Chevrolet Corvette near Rochester.We anticipate this will take place
on a Saturday in late April or early May. The details have not yet been
worked out, but we will let you know as soon as we can. We hope to include
a scenic side trip, perhaps to a winery.
Save the date! The second Kingston Corvette
Invasion, organized by our sister club, Eastern Ontario Corvette, is scheduled
for June 19-20, 2020. John Price says it’s going to be “bigger and
better”! The first act is going to be hard to beat though. As with
the first Invasion, registration will be limited. Those who attended in
2018, will be given first “dibs”.
As you may be aware, the 6th National
Corvette Caravan is scheduled for this summer, August 28-31. Part of
the celebration in Bowling Green includes a Jefferson Starship concert.
Member Pat O’Brien has contacted the Corvette Museum
inquiring about the possibility of purchasing concert tickets only, and forgoing
the actual caravan. He was told that is an option, and he is considering it as a
way of participating at least in part in the celebration. He is sharing
this information, in case others might also be interested
Our April dinner meeting is scheduled to be held at
Spook Hill Bar & Grill in Adams, NY.
Tom Cheney is the contact person.
