Message from the President
My Corvette family,
Can you say 5 STAR !!! In the last month I have spoken to dozens of people who are anxiously waiting
for CGCC’s 5 Star event at Clock Tower Park in DuPont on August 15th. I mean not only fellow Corvette
owners but customs, rat rods, VW’s, Camaros…you name it. Thanks to all of CGCC for the effort put towards passing out flyers at all the events you have and are continuing to attend…I have seen them out
at quite a few shows I have attended [; ) PLEASE contact the 5 Star committee with any donations, baskets, raffle items, ect.
Charvette and many of CGCC’s members have been attending shows, parades and just plain auto enthusiast events. A great time and fantastic memories are being made with phenomenal people! Many car
shows, cruise-ins, rod runs, you name it are occurring every weekend for the next couple of months
which means there are plenty of opportunities to share a common interest with like minded people
which in turn just means FUN!!! Take the time to enjoy your favorite venues and even try a different
show to see many other cars, trucks, motorcycles and maybe even a Ford or two [; )
The weather is fantastic and ideal for playing with the top down on “Charvette”. Mind the sunscreen
and plenty of hydration when appropriate!
The August membership meeting is on the 8th at the Lakewood Elks Club. Bring your nominations for
the 2016 Executive Board as well as NCCC representatives. Keep in mind who YOU want to have for
Man and Woman of the year. This will be the last meeting for nominations…September and October
will be voting with absentee ballots being mailed after Octobers meeting. Ballot counting at the November Board of Directors meeting and results announced at the November membership meeting.
See you out there and “Save the wave”,
Dennis Petersen

CGCC Community Service
CGCC COMMUNITY SERVICE
Just want to thank everyone for their generous donations at the July 11, 2015 meeting. As you know
(if you were at the meeting), I went back to passing the Zebra Box around for the Family Renewal
Shelter. It just seemed like I may have complicated things by having it in a couple of different locations
during the meeting vs passing it around. Therefore, we are going back to the old way for all future meetings. That being said I just wanted to let you know that we collected $87.00 on 07/11/15.
In the June News Letter, I failed to thank Vic and Sherry Varkonyi for donating a cell phone and ear buds
and Mark and Chris Majszak for donating 8 rolls of paper towels.
As most of you know, we had our cruise in at Jet Chevrolet on Sunday, July 19, 2015. At the cruise in,
we did a 50/50 raffle with 50% of the money collected going to the Family Renewal Shelter and 50% going to the raffle winner. I am proud to report that we sold $320.00 worth of raffle tickets were sold; therefore, FRS to receive $160.00. The raffle winner was Alisa Dillon likewise receiving $160.00; however,
Alisa so generously donated half of her winnings ($80.00) to the shelter which resulted in a grand total of
$240.00 being donated to this wonderful charity. A big thank you to all who purchased raffle tickets and
a special thank you to Alisa for her additional donation.
Here are some things on the Wish List for FRS that can be brought to the August 8th meeting if you are so
inclined. This month let's concentrate on Non-Perishable Food Items:
Flour
Bisquick
Tomato Paste
Sugar
Cereal
Cooking Oil
Salt
Cake Mixes
Garlic Salt
Spaghetti Sauce
Refried Beans Spaghetti Noodles
Chili
Assorted Pasta
Rice-a-Roni
The above are just a few suggestion. You can bring any other of Non-Perishable Food item that you can
think of and I know it will be appreciated.
Again thank you for all you do for the Family Renewal Shelter as well our other programs that we support
throughout the year.
If you have any questions, you can E-mail me at [email protected] or call me on my cell
253-625-1252.
