Vette Set Gazette
CORVETTE CLUB OF RHODE ISLAND
3.0
I am writing this message the day after our “successful” 46th Annual Corvettes
by the Sea because I want to make sure I don’t forget to thank every single
person that made it another “successful” year. I would like to thank the
Board of Directors, the Team Captains, the Volunteers and the Members that
attended for their undying support, hard work, and collaboration in making
this year’s show a complete success at the new location, Scalabrini Villa.
With it being a new venue, there were many concerns. The numerous
hours, some late hours and tons of texting between the Board of Directors
made it all worth it, in making sure that every detail was identified. The day
finally arrived, the weather was beautiful and everything fell into place! We
had over 200 plus cars attend! Our generous sponsor, Paul Masse, and his
group rolled in with some incredible automobiles, contributing donations
throughout the day to our raffle table, which only made the day that much
more exciting!
The Team at the Membership Table, the Raffle Table, our NCM table,
our Quartermaster table and our Food Drive group did an outstanding job in
bringing donations, selling raffles, and keeping everything organized and
professional. I watched spectators and members walk away with some great
raffles. Our Vendors were busy informing our guests, everyone was enjoying
the food, the warm weather and the view.
Without the dedication and hard working efforts of the Board of
Directors, their teams and Captains, along with the support of our Members
and Sponsor, this would not have happened. I have said it once and will say it
again; it is my honor and privilege to serve as your President of this great
Club in New England! The Corvette Club, its members, sponsors, officials and
volunteers are a group of car enthusiasts that are “FAMILY”. Like with our
own family, there will always be differences of opinions, but when it comes
down to the final countdown, everyone worked hard and got the JOB DONE!
The Shows are over; please support the Food Drive to its end – the final
results will be astounding. I thank you for your generosity to this good cause.
I am looking forward to hearing the results from the Bowl – a – Thon and
hope to see my “family” there to support our own, Ken Redman, in his quest
to “Bowl Out Hunger” here in Rhode Island!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU
PRESIDENT CCRI
