CORVETTE CLUB OF RHODE ISLAND
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EVENT! – Congratulations to our Members
that represented our Club at the Paul Masse Vettetacular event this past Saturday.
Our sponsor indicated to us that this year was his biggest year ever with over 435
American made beauties rolling into the Paul Masse Group parking lot. The event
went “flawless” as far as I am concerned. I would like to thank Liliana Dolan in
assisting to coordinate this event with our Sponsor, another great job. Liliana’s hard
work in the assistance in coordinating these two major events, such as Museum in
Motion and the Paul Masse event put our Club on the forefront. I am hoping that we
will come together and exceed our Food Drive Campaign this year. At the RI Food
Bank kick off, Tasca Motor Group was there, and the Director of the RI Food Bank
indicated it was FORD VS. CHEVY…..Let’s get together as a team and prove its
CORVETTES VS MUSTANGS as the all Amer ican MUSCLE CAR.
July promises to be just as busy. The NCRS OCEAN STATE SHOW AT
THE CROWN PLAZA is this month for anyone wanting to attend to show Club
support. Our All Corvette Show at Moroso Performance in Guilford, CT is this
month. I am hoping for good attendance as they have always supported our show.
The Activities Committee has a great social planned. I know the summer months are
busy with family, vacations and such, but any participation is appreciated, as
everyone behind the scenes in this Club all work very hard for our members in
making it the Club that it is today.
OUR MEETING IN JULY HAS CHANGED TO TUESDAY, JULY 12,
2016 AT 7:00 P.M. We have r escheduled our cookout to September , as we
know everyone will be very busy with the holiday. I wish you and your families a
very Happy Independence Day. God Bless our Country and all those who served
and continue to serve in order for us to keep our freedom to always “SAVE THE
WAVE”.

September Club Event
Get Away Weekend Sept 16th, 17th, 18th
This years get away weekend will
begin with a cruise to the Fireside inn,

The hotel contains an indoor & outdoor
pool, whirlpool spa, and fitness center. A
local favorite restaurant and Pub: Patrick’s is right across the street, or you are
welcome to dine at some of the great local
spots in the Lakes region.
On Saturday the 17th, we have
many options for activities, including a

Hampshire has no sales tax, so it's as if everything everywhere is always on sale. Tilton offers you the Tanger Outlet Center with more than 50 big name stores. Up in Moultonborough, you'll want to check out The Old Country Store and see what has kept it in business
for 234 years. You shouldn't miss strolling around the Mill Falls Marketplace, if you are
seeking quaint little shops.
Double Queen or King Rooms rooms for this event were discounted from $209 per
night to $149. Suites, and rooms with fireplaces are also available at a discount. All rooms
