President's Message--March 2010
January and February were eventful for the Club. We had Dinner Night Out at the Backstreet Bistro, a Corvette Night at Mervyn's parking lot followed by dinner at Schmidy's Tavern. On February 13th we had about 12 of our cars at the Dr. George Show and all enjoyed the camaraderie and fabulous cars. Seven of our cars also participated in the Date Festival Parade in Indio on February 15th. As we begin March, we have many important events coming up. The first Saturday, March 6, we will be participating in Cruise Night at the Spa Casino in Palm Springs. The fun begins at 4:00 and continues until 7:00 P.M. If you like cars and know you do, you won't want to miss it. Our big event this month is our Spring Fling Autocross on Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14. It is held at the Riverside County Fairgrounds located on Hwy 111 and Arabia in Indio from 10:00 A.M. until 5:00P.M. The proceeds benefit ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease. The entry fee is $20 and includes one free run. This year we have added several vendors and it promises to be a day of fun and thrills. The success of this event always relies on the volunteer time that our Club members give to the weekend, so, we are counting on you to get out there and work for our charity. It is a great opportnity for you to spend time to get to know one another better and run your car at the same time. Those who wish to receive more information about the day, please see our flyer on the website for more details.
Our Dinner Night Out has been changed to the 3rd Thursday of the month. On March 18, we will be having a special dinner and entertainment ($18.95) at the Indian Wells Resort Hotel.
The last weekend of the month we are planning to "Just Drive Them" on a trip to a car show in Santa Ana, then, lunch in Old Town Orange. Details will be posted on this trip as we get plans finalized.
Looking ahead for April and May, some member s have expressed an interest in going to the Long Beach Grand Prix on April 16th and 17th. On May 1st we are having a Club Progressive Dinner. A trip to Corvete Dreaming is in the planning stages for May 15 and16. These are just a few of the events we have scheduled, so, be sure you come to our next General Meeting on March 9th at 7:00P.M. at Jessup Chevrolet and sign up to be included in the fun.
At our first meeting of the year, a list was created by our members of places to go and things to see and it is our plan to go over the list and check them off one by one. We hope all of our present members will join us and we hope that you pass out our business cards and invite some new members to come along with us. It is beautiful to see a long line of Corvettes cruising down the highway.
Thank you for your cooperation in all of our activities and I look forward to seeing you at our Autocross in two weeks. This event is a must!
