September 24th was the Hulett Meet and Greet in Camdenton. This event was put on by
Hulett and our Members Gary and Nancy Hollander through their Linn Creek Corvette Association. The weather was fabulous and there were 90+ cars on hand, including one of the
largest assemblies of C-1’s, C-2’s and C-3’s I have seen at any show recently. Nancy and I
noticed that this was one of the best run shows with more friendly, happy people than we
have been to for some time. Congratulations to Gary and Nancy for their extremely hard
work on this project. The Club held up very well against some extremely good competition so
congratulations to the winners! They were: C-1 Conv =Mack Propst, runner -up; C-2 Conv =
Jamie Jameson, runner-up; C-3 Conv = Debbie Faulconer, winner; C-3 Coupe, Jon Finley,
runner-up; C-5 Conv, Darin Shackelford, runner-up; C-5 coupe, Barbara Hammond, winner;
C-6 Conv, Chuck Waller, runner-up; C-6 Z06, Gary Cooper, winner; C-6 Z06, Eric Rosenthal,
runner-up; Black Corvette Class, Don Sturn, winner; Pam Dotson, runner-up. Best of Show,
winner of the Steve Graves Memorial award: Mike Craig. The Club won the Local Club participation award with 30 registered members and the KCCA won the non-local club participation award with 18 registered members. The top vote getter in all classes was Car 59, Debbie Faulconer.
Fellow club member, John Suellentrop’s retirement party to celebrate his 30 years on the
Sunrise Beach fire department was on Sunday, the 25th. Also on the 25th was a Celebration of Life for club member Judy Long from 2 to 4 p.m.
The Warm Springs Ranch Cruise, was September 27. A full report on this event will be
given at the meeting on Oct 2nd.
The club is participating in the Camdenton Homecoming Parade on September 29th.
We have also been invited to participate in the School of the Osage Homecoming
Parade on September 30th. A full report on these will be given at the meeting on
Oct 2nd.

LOCC Secretary Report:
Sycamore Creek Golf Club ~ 9/18/11
The Lake of the Ozarks Corvette Club met September
18th at the Sycamore Creek Golf Club. President Craig
Beach called the meeting to order at 1:35 p.m. New
members Pete and Dianne Coret and Ivano and Donna
Comelli were introduced. Nancy Hollander won the 50/50
drawing and will sell tickets at the next meeting.
Craig reviewed decisions of the Officer’s meeting held on
September 6th. The terms of office for the President and
Vice-President were discussed. Since the Vice-President
moves to the Presidency, it was agreed that because of
the time commitment it would make more sense to have
one year rather than two year terms of office. A volunteer
is needed to fill the office of Vice-President for next year.
Anyone interested may contact Bill Dotson or Craig
Beach.
Jeannie Sheets has done an outstanding job as CoTreasurer, however time constraints are requiring her to
seek a replacement. Marlin Hammond has graciously
agreed to fill this position.
Mike Craig announced that the owners of Iguana Boat
Rentals may allow us to display our cars in their lot without charge rather than on the street during Hot Summer
Nights. The majority thought this was a good idea, so
Mike will further explore this possibility.
Officer Reports:
Vice President, Bill Dotston: Our club now has 164 members. Thirty-four have been added in 2011. Bill passed
out LOCC static clings to be displayed on car windshields
during events. If you need more or did not get one see
Bill. He also has T-shirts available with the LOCC logo for
$12.00.

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
Secretary, Sue Rosenthal: It was a rainy, nasty day so
we only had 15 Corvettes in the parking lot, however 50
members were in attendance.
Web Master, Gary Hollander: If anyone has pictures from
the Wounded Warriors Parade, please send them to Gary
and he will post them on our web site.

There was an outstanding turn out for the Wounded Warrior’s Parade. Fifty-six LOCC Corvettes, 25 T buckets,
and 26 motorcycles were available to escort and carry
the soldiers, support staff, family members and additional
enlisted personnel. It was a wonderful day for them, and
they were stunned by the number of vehicles and by the

Don’t forget to wear your “name tag” to LOCC
functions. Because the size of our club has
grown, and with the many new faces,
the “name tags” come in handy. Thanks!

The weekend of October 6th– 9th, 2011 is the Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend. This is a very popular event and we always have a
great number of members who attend. Rooms can be difficult to obtain for that weekend. Many of our members have booked rooms
at the Best Western or the Apple Blossom and The Lodge. The annual Friday evening BBQ will be held at The Lodge. This starts at
5 or 5:30 pm on Friday and the cooks will try to have food ready by 6 or 6:30. Be sure to bring your own drinks and a chair to this as
the asphalt does get very hard if you sit on it for an extended period of time.
Immediately following the Eureka Springs event is a new event that we have put a group together to attend. This event is the Greater
New Orleans Corvette Club’s 20th annual ExtraVETTEganza held in Slidell, LA. We have the following members signed up at this
time: Beach, Finley, Jameson (Earl), Jones, Klaus, Long, Nickless, Pease, Rice, and Salsman. There is a link on our web site to get
information about the hotel and to register for the show.
Next we will have member introductions. Everyone stand, introduce yourself and your spouse and tell us about your car.
After that we introduce members who have Birthday celebrations this month, and those who have anniversaries this month.
Upcoming events:
As we get more details on other events coming up in 2011, we will keep the website ( www.locc2010.com )updated and cover them in
emails and future newsletters. There are a number of car shows listed on our web site. As always, if you have an idea for a cruise
you would lead us on, just let us know and we will be off and cruising!
The November 13th monthly meeting is at 1:00 pm at the Osage River Bar and Grill in Laurie, MO.
The meeting in December is on the 11th and is at Old Kinderhook. This will be an evening event with a very good meal and a band
after the meal. Reservations will be required, so start planning now so that we can have your reservations by Friday December 2nd.
If there is no further business, we are adjourned. Thank you very much.

The cruise and tour of Warm Springs Ranch was Tuesday, September 27th. It was a beautiful sunny day for the twenty
Corvettes (40 people) who traveled to Boonville for the 10:00 a.m. tour of the facility. Warm Springs Ranch is a breeding and training farm for the world famous Budweiser Clydesdales! The following pictures reflect the fun time we had.
After the tour, the group traveled to the Isle of Capri Casino for a buffet lunch. (Ask Jack Rice if he enjoyed the pie!)

The 4th Annual Corvette Meet and Greet at Hulett Chevrolet/Buick/GMC was a huge success, and attend by over 100 Corvettes.
There were 90 registered for the event and more showed up just to “meet and greet”! There were Corvettes from many surrounding
states (Illinois, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas in addition to Missouri) and numerous Corvette Clubs; many of the people arrived as
early as Thursday. The Linn Creek Corvette Association (Gary, Nancy and Russell Hollander; Kevin Haulotte volunteer) and Ryan
Hulett (and Hulett staff members) put on the show.
The pre-meeting at Mexicali Blues on Friday evening, 9/23/2011, had 50 Corvettes show up to pick up car show packets and to register for the event.
The weather was beautiful on Saturday, and the Corvettes were out in full force. All Corvette generations were represented, and the
quality of the cars was outstanding. In total, each participant received an event t-shirt,
a goodie bag, lunch for two catered by Wobbly Boots, and a nice attendance prize. Additionally, we held a silent auction and 50/50 drawing. The proceeds will again be used
to support our service men and women.
Last year, we were able to send 450 “Christmas Stockings for Soldiers” to the 101st
Airborne Spartans! Special Troops Battalion serving in Afghanistan. The commanding
officer, LTC James Sisemore and his family, attended the event and thanked the Corvette owners for their support with a rousing, heartfelt speech. He also “coined” (a
high Military Honor) the Hollanders for their Service and support. (see photo 045,
l-r Nancy Hollander, Becky Sisemore, Jay Sisemore, LTC James Sisemore,
Ryan Hulett and Gary Hollander).
There were over 40 awards presented, including “Best of Show”, honoring our
late Corvette Friend, Steve Graves. His wife, Pat was there to present the
award along with Ryan Hulett to Mike Craig, and his 1955 Roadster.
The local businesses really stepped up and supported our event, as well as nationally know
Corvette and automotive retailers.
A big “THANK YOU” to Gary and Nancy
for a job well done!
