From Our President...

CCCC Members,

While traveling over the holidays Michelle made the comment to me that she really misses being able to drive our Corvette. This led to a discussion of all of the fun we have had over the years and the wonderful friendships we have made because of having a Corvette.

My wife’s first real introduction to the Corvette family occurred when I bought a 1990 Coupe by chance at an auction, but I have had a love / passion for Corvette’s ever since grade school and spent many hours studying and learning about the car growing up. As I am sure most of you can remember the first Corvette you rode in or got to drive, it seems like only yesterday when I got to ride in my neighbors early C3. Which was a new car in those days. Within a year of graduating from college, I was able to buy my first Corvette, a 1982 that is still one of my favorite cars.

After my wife was encouraged by a former patient to attend a CCCC meeting in early 2018, we did just that and we have enjoyed being members ever since. As we are getting ready to start 2026, I am excited for another year of fun and fellowship, with old and new friends. There are many annual events that the club organizes or participates in, from Drive N’ Dines and Parades to Car Shows and Autocross, and I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy as many of these activities as you can. In addition, we are always looking for new ideas and need your input and help to plan events during the year.

After talking with Michelle, I came to the realization that her love for the car and the enjoyment it can bring was just as strong as my own. Hopefully you all feel the same way and as your travels bring you in contact with others with interest in Corvette’s that you can share some of your passion and reach out to them to join in on the fun.

I am excited for the year ahead and hope you are too.

Happy New Year,

Tom Faupel
