1 Presidents Thoughts By Club President Randy Johnson April 2019 Hi Everyone It sure is nice to see the month of April arrive with the hope that the winter months are behind us and we can look forward to sunshine and warmer temperatures.

But more importantly, I want a nice sunny day on Saturday, April 13 th, for our first morning coffee and doughnuts at Dunkin Donuts in Altoona with my corvette friends along with some interesting conversation. After our fill of coffee and doughnuts a nice drive through the countryside would make for a nice addition to our event for the day. Coming up on Saturday, May 4 th at 8:30am is our ACC Kick-Off breakfast at the Traditions Restaurant in Martinsburg. This will be an excellent way to start off our year with a good breakfast with friends and of course, lots of great conversation.
