…. Steve Hack
Congratulations to the Queen City Chapter
members as we successfully voted on
contributing a very generous donation to the
Shriners Children Burns Hospital. The long
hours put in by our swap meet committee and
the long hours put in by every member
allowed us to have a fruitful swap meet. It is
always very satisfying to see how our club
comes together, pulls off a great event and
generates funds for a great cause.
Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2015
The bitter temperatures are gone and it
seems as though we have even outran the
drastic daily temperature changes. That can
only mean one thing "CORVETTE SUMMER"
(I should make a movie about that). The
events are starting to build up, with the Heart
of America Regional in Joplin, Missouri and
the May 30th Miami Valley Chapter Meet.
Our sister chapter in Dayton is always helpful
in our events and we have several members
attending Voss Chevrolet for their event. If
you aren't one of those members fill out a
region form from the Driveline and head up for
a fun filled Corvette day.
Time: 7:00PM
Location: Eastern Corvettes, 1299 West Ohio
Pike, Amelia, OH 45102
Phone: 513-553-2080

1/2 mile ahead on the right - Look for a Gray
and Red strip plaza right after the Amelia
Church of the Nazareen. Make sure you
bring a chair.

The Side Draft 1
The NCRS National Convention lands in
nearby Denver, Colorado on the 19-24th of
July. As always the Queen City will be well
represented at this event. I can't think of a
better way to use up some family vacation
time. There are several members in the
chapter that have not attended a National yet,
it is certainly on the "Must do" list, and it is not
too late to register. On a more local front; the
Milford Cruise in on Friday evenings is back
in full swing, add that to the Quaker Steak
and Lube Sunday afternoon cruise in and it's
a weekend full of events.
The warmer months always increase the
amount of Corvettes driven to our meetings.
Let's try to break our 22 Corvette record and
hit 25 over the next few meetings. See you at
Eastern Corvettes in Amelia on Tuesday May
19th.
Minutes April 2015
… Chris Rockenfield
The April 2015 meeting of the QCNCRS was
held at Tom James’s Garage. If you have
never been there, Tom has an outstanding
collection of cars and wonderful facility to
have a meeting.
Steve Hack began our meeting by thanking
Tom for having our chapter meeting. Steve
also mentioned there were no new members
to introduce.
Otto Takacs and Chris
Rockenfield (VP, Secretary) had nothing to
report at this time. Wayne McKee (Treasurer)
then gave the Treasurer’s Report, a motion
was made to accept it and the club voted to
do so. Joe Sieve, (Membership Chair) had
nothing to report at this time. We were all
glad to see Joe back at a meeting.
John Ballard (Judging Chairman) brought up
the Charlotte regional meet was coming up,
along with the Pinehurst concours event.
Don’t forget that Bloomington gold is right
around the corner in Indianapolis. Dale Maris
(Web Master) had nothing to report at this
time.
Joe Eyl took the floor stating that Paul
Oslansky’s tech session on Chassis Judging
will be held at Columbia Chevy on May 16th
2015 at 9:00 am.
Paul Oslansky (Regional Director) took the
floor and discussed that Roy Roger’s will
reopening on the Milford parkway and that it
is another potential great place to hold a
meeting. The group was running behind on
time, Paul had MUCH more to say… but we
had to move on. Details will be sent though email.
Steve Hack took the floor once again and
brought up OLD NEWS with mention of the
Knoxville event in late March and the Indiana
and Heart of Ohio chapter meets had
commenced and were a success. Steve also
mentioned he had the Vietnam Veterans
stickers were available at this meeting. And
thanks to the John Morrell substantial
monetary donation that was given at our
swap meet, the club had a plaque made in
thanks, it was passed around for everyone’s
viewing.
Steve made mention how well the Ray
Skillman trip was and there seem to be about
45 people on the trip. We also had a few
more who met us at Ray’s.
Otto Takacs then took the floor and brought
up the discussion of how much to donate to
the Shriners’. With much discussion, and
GREAT feedback from a lot of members, a
monetary number was given and a Motion
was brought to the floor…seconded, and the
club voted to do so.
In NEW news, Steve, had mentioned one of
our members… Cliff Wingerter was in the
hospital; please keep your thoughts and
prayers to their family.
Steve then thanked Tom James again for
hosting. Steve also stated don’t forget to sign
the attendance roster and to bring chairs to
the next meeting. The meeting will be held at
Eastern Corvettes facility on May 19th.
