Miscellaneous ramblings from the President
Hi all,
We have had a great summer! We have gained a few great members, had lots of fun and have more to look forward to. It seems that Les and Kelly have set a standard for mystery meals that others are using to judge all others. Mike and Jackie are hosting the next meal and it sounds like a good one also.
You must attend the Sept. meeting I have something to show everyone that, thanks to a few members will really make our club #1 at upcoming events. I am excited about this (these) items and I am sure you all will be very proud of it (them).
We will start nominations at our Sept. meeting. Those positions open for nomination are:
President Vice President
Secretary Treasurer
And two board member positions now held by Dave Chadwick and Bruce Kinney.
We will need volunteers for many other positions.
Hope to see you all at the meeting.
National Corvette Museum Report:
A DAY (or Three) AT THE MUSEUM I had a great time August 29-31 at NCM's 19th Annual Celebration, attending the Hall Of Fame ceremonies, seminars, and renewing old friendships with lots of Corvette enthusiasts. Meeting Johnny O'Connell and Werner Meier for the first time, I felt fortunate to be photographed with them, and they graciously autographed the photos. Also glad I took along photos I'd previously had taken with Wil Cooksey, Andy Pilgrim, Kirk Binnion, Harlan Charles, Gordon Killebrew, Doug Fehan, Roc Linkov, and Bob Bondurant, as they were all signed during the autograph session. Of course the hot topic of conversation was the C7, the focus of a seminar by Harlan Charles and Kirk Binnion, who offered personal insights and highlights and fielded many questions from the audience.
Hope you'll be going to next year's special 20th Anniversary Celebration with me! A lot of planning is already underway to coordinate attendees from all across the country. On the NCM website http://www.corvettemuseum.org click on the Colorado map for the latest info, event schedule and registration procedure. The Colorado caravan captain, Richard Loch, just released the names of two of the motels where caravanners will stay along the route.
Finally, a tip 'o the hat --- or, make that Corvette cap --- to each and every one of you for supporting the National Corvette Museum via raffle tickets, brick purchases, and memberships. Your support helped me achieve Master Ambassador status for a second year. Thanks so much for selecting me as your NCM Ambassador... it's a position I truly enjoy!
At our next meeting, I'll have $10 raffle tickets for a 2014 Torch Red C7 coupe.

Treasure’s Report- Treasure report was read and approved.
Old Business- Thank You Kelly and Les for a wonderful Mystery Meal , we traveled some beautiful roads the back way to Colorado Springs and had a tour of Peterson Air force base, afterwards we went to a German restaurant for a great lunch and had a little birthday party for Bruce Kinney and Kelly Rhodes. Then to finish it off we had a little tournament of Miniature Golf in the Springs. Goodie bags (my favorite) were handed out for our long road trip along with panic envelopes, Prizes to the winners of the Miniature Golf, it was way too much fun.
New Business- Our next Mystery meal will be September 21, 2013 talked about possible date of having a club picnic, just trying to pick a date in September, which is a busy month for everyone. Club voted on $300.00 for a new club flag, talked about getting a feather flag, between Cathy , Bill, Les and Kelly, Jani and Mike we can put our heads together to get this done, as I am writing up the minutes, I know this has been done and can’t wait for all the club to see the results… Gathered up all sizes for the new club members to get their jackets ordered as cool weather will be arriving soon. L We discussed possibly getting with Emich to see if he would like us to have a little car show at the dealership during the showing of the C-7 when they get it in. Those who are going to Grand Lake Car Show will meet Saturday Morning at 6:00 am exit of Morrison and I-70, club wants to bring our banner.
Mike Malouf told the club that he would like to get a group together to go to Dallas Texas to the Mecum car auction dates September 5, 6, and 7th.
Governor’s Report - We had no Governors report.
Museum Ambassador- Barrett reported that the head of the Corvette Caravan to Bowling Green next year would like to come and talk to our club, this will be the anniversary of the 20th Caravan, there will be a package and plant tour, this would be a good time or order your new C-7 when you visit the plant next year. Barrett mailed in all the raffle tickets for the 2014 Red Coup, next meeting he will have tickets for the next drawing which will be in January. He said that there will be (3) sets of raffle drawings next year for the C-7.
Dealer Report- We had no dealer report.
Membership Committee- Gave Matt Barron information about joining our club.
Merchandise Report- No report.
Social Committee- The social committee is still working on a Christmas Party, the Date will Be December 12th, so try to save the date on your calendar to have a nice dinner and gift exchange with friends in the club during the holiday season. Dinner before the next meeting on September 26th will be at Old Chicago 3550 South Wadsworth Boulevard Lakewood, CO , we usually like to meet for dinner about 5:30 which should give us time to eat before the meeting.
Thank You So much LynAnn and Leo for bringing treats to the meeting during our break. Next couple to bring snacks are Mike and Jacie Malouf for the September meeting.
April’s Fool Rally: we just talked briefly about the rally and possibly Bruce Kinney would like to be head chairman of the event, this rally is held the first Sunday in April and is a lot of fun, it’s usually the first rally and social event of the spring in the Rocky Mountain Region of Corvette Clubs.
