April 16, 2005 Car Show at Family Chevrolet – (Phil Slack)

Phil spoke with Family Chevrolet and they were very, very pleased with the event. We had a total of 38 cars show up, with at least one car from every generation. They would like to do another event, maybe in July, where they would clear out the front lot for better traffic appeal. Phil mentioned that we should invite other clubs to participate as well. Everyone had a really good time.

Perhaps we can do a 50/50 raffle at the next event, or maybe even a pot-luck of some sort. Also, we should make sure that there is shade at the event. Many people offered to bring umbrellas.

Family Chevrolet will do a better job of advertising the next event.

April 30^th – May 1^st Saddle Creek Resort in Copperopolis – (Braithwaite)

Only a few couples attended this event; Brusby’s, Braithwaite’s and Niemi’s. Some played golf, others went to the Spa. A great time was had by all.

Mark found a really exciting road for the return trip (Ron felt it was too rugged for tanks!). It was a little rocky and narrow, but everyone made it home in one piece.

New Events / Ideas:

If you have an idea for a run on the spur of the moment, just call a few people on the roster and ask them to call a few people. These runs are usually the most fun! Or, you can e-mail everyone with a few days notice.

1. Bethel’s had to postpone the event they had scheduled to the Jackson Casino on May 22^nd. More details will be discussed at the next meeting.

2. Stan Anderson would like to put together a run to Ice House during the last two weeks of June (June 25^th?). He will arrange for a group lunch at Los Hermanos in Pollock Pines on the return. There was a lot of interest, more information to be discussed at the next meeting.

3. John McCoy brought in a flyer for a car rally around Lake Tahoe for June 4^th. If anyone is interested, meet at the Pollock Pines Safeway at 9:30 a.m. $25.00 per car. Call (530) 644-8958 to sign up. Supports the American Cancer Society.

4. Annette Kono told the club about an event taking place on May 14^th, supporting the Auburn area animal rescue. There is a $25.00 entry fee, BBQ and many raffle prizes. All proceeds will go to charity. This event is open to all cars and will be held from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. If there is a lot of interest, and go in as a club, we can park together on the lawn. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much interest – not enough notice.

Closing: A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting; meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

The next REGULAR Cameron Park Corvette Club Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at the Denny’s Restaurant in Cameron Park, beginning at 7:00 p.m. (Come early if you want to eat dinner).
