Well I hope everyone enjoyed the month of August, it has been one of the best I can remember. We had our Corvette out quite often this month to take advantage of the great weather. Our drive-and-eat this month went to Suppesville golf club where we had a great meal. The drive out was wonderful; it was top down cruising weather for those of us that can put our tops down. Many thanks to Greg & Marie for hosting this great time even though Marie didn t make the trip, it seems she was baking a cake, Oh Right! Sure! It s membership dues time again, please fill out a form and complete all areas so we can update our information. We are already planning the annual awards banquet and we have been gathering up door prizes for months. The club has purchased some of the door prizes, and club members have generously donated some. We still need more if anyone would like to donate something. The Funkahauna drive-and-eat (not to be confused with the normal drive-and-eat) is coming up on September 12 th (look for the flyer) at Newton airport. This is going to be a great event, and a good chance for club members to get together and visit and have fun. This is also a fundraiser for the club, there will be a small entry fee and food (the eat part) will be sold on site. This is a great chance to have fun, meet other club members and support your club all in one afternoon. And we get to eat too!!!!!! See you at the meeting, Kevin. Page 1
