From Our President: 
Happy 50th anniversary to all of you. By the time you read this we will have had our party and we’ll be on our way to the 100th, but as I write it we’re three days out from the event and I’m just a little anxious. As I have said before, this is a very special occasion in the life of this club and I sincerely hope everyone can join in the celebration.
August is a busy month with many events planned through out the region. There are at least four low speed events including our own on the 16th, a car show, our dinner theater drive and dine, an outing to Cones and Bones and finishing up with Corvette Crossroads and Corvettes at Carlisle. That ought to be enough to keep any enthusiast active for the whole month.
There will be a sign up sheet at the next general meeting for volunteers for the Low Speed event on the 16th. We are going to require that the drivers participate in working the corners this year and we have some people who have expressed an interest in helping with registration and food but we can always use more and it’s a great way to see the event from the inside.
We are in the process of establishing a nominating committee for the upcoming elections. Colleen Bratschi has graciously offered to chair the committee so everyone interested in serving on the committee should contact her. There will be several open seats on the board for next year so now is your chance to step up and take the plunge. I don’t think the vacancies are because of me but hey, you never know. As you may recall I suggested in January that there are many others out there who would be a better prez than me. Well, I’m challenging you to bring it on. I would love nothing better than a fully contested slate of candidates and someone to kick me to the curb in the process. This club deserves the best leadership we can find and that means we’re looking for you.
Have a great month; we hope to see you on the 6th.
JB
