2 Corvette Expressions 3rd Edition Volume 132 August, 2017 Greetings fellow Corvette Express members; Welcome to August This year's Corvette Express Corvette cruising and show events have been a great success thus far. It's wonderful to see so many members involved in not only the activities, but the planning and coordinating as well. Once again, it's proof positive that what makes our club so great is its members. We still have a full calendar of things to do, so please check our website and attend as many meetings as possible for all the latest info. On the business end, club membership is holding its own, and we are financially sound. We can probably expect new membership to increase in the fall, as this has been a usual trend. None the less, we are doing very well and should continue our growth into the end of the year. Also, as a reminder, please contact our Sergeant-at -Arms/ Sunshine officer (Carol Heh) with any important info. regarding fellow members. Thank you all, and I'll see you at the August meeting. Yours in Corvettes, Rob Lombardi Greetings, and welcome to the August issue of Corvette Expressions. This month s big event was a cruise to Ticonderoga, New York and Lake George. Once again, the trip was very well attended and included a fun dinner cruise on Lake George and a sight-seeing cruise on Lake Champlain. A huge thanks to Bill and Donna Nagle for putting this all together; great job! Also, thanks once again to our grill-master, Greg Heh, as well as Carol Heh, and Howard and Joanna Fink for planning some delicious BBQs. For a dayto-day synopsis of the trip, as well as some great pictures, courtesy of Lynne Schneiderman and Bill Zide, please see page 5. (See how many times you spot Barbie, LOL!) Finally, a small group of club members took a chance on the weather and met at Jersey Freeze for some great ice cream on July 28. Luck was with them as there wasn t a drop of rain all evening! The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 2. See you then. Lisa Force Newsletter Editor -2-
