Founded in 1959, we are one of the oldest Corvette clubs in the nation. Our club has brought enthusiasts together for 50 years. Over the years, members have enjoyed a nice balance between competitive and social
events.
Members can choose to participate in competitive events such as rallies, autocross, and car shows. Wisconsin
Corvette Club is a sanctioned member of Midwest Region of the National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC). In
1981 WCC hosted the NCCC Convention. This was the first national convention to have all major NCCC competition categories: high speed, low speed, rally, concourse, drags, and funkhana. WCC more recently hosted the
Midwest Regional Championships in 1998 and 1999.
If social is more your thing, we're always up for that! Members participate in a number of social events such
as: weekend trips, picnics, dining out, movies, dances and any other reason for a get- together.
Wisconsin Corvette Club is a not for profit, incorporated club which takes pride in donating to various national and local charities with proceeds from our annual Corvettes For Charity Car Show, Silent Auction and
Hare N Hounds Rally.

Presidents Comments
February 2015
February is one of our slowest months related to club activities. However, February is also a month
to plan/prepare for future events. First of all I would like to thank Brian Hall for all he did to plan and
execute a great Afterbash event. It was a great time to eat and socialize. I would also like to thank
Randy and Donna Hoffman for the wonderful awards that were created and passed out during the
awards ceremony. In case you were not there, Karen and J.R. Hottenrott received the Cliff Heuser
Memorial Service Award for their outstand support of our club competition events and the chili
cook off.
We had 52 members attend the January monthly meeting. At the Board meeting the following action took place: 1.) Inge Heidmann reported that the financial audit was complete and all things
were in order, and 2.) The Board recognized that we should have someone replace Fred Severt as
our NCM Ambassador. We asked Jack Abuya if he would take over the position and he agreed.
Thanks Jack.
During the general meeting Brian Hall gave an update on the Afterbash dinner banquet plans. I
also asked for a volunteer to fill the Promotions Chairperson position vacated by Fred Severt. As a
calendar reminder please take note of the following important dates that are planned between now
and the end of August;
February 1st – NCCC convention registration opens
February 15th – Chili Cookoff
January 15th through February 15th – Assigned regional speed event number applications
are due.
March 22nd – Annual Midwest Region Banquet
May 20th – WCC election of Board members at our monthly meeting
June 13th and 14th – WCC speed event
June 17th – WCC election of officers at our monthly meeting
June 20th – WCC rally event
August 22nd – August 27th – NCCC convention
Other activities will be noted in the Checkpoint as they are defined and planned. Please take time
to read the Checkpoint for details. That’s all for now and thanks’ again for your support.
Douglas Grelk – President.
