Kyle and Madison running Lakeshore's spring rallye

Members,

It is mid-year and we are keeping busy. Blessings of the Vettes went very well for us this year and netted us over $2000 to donate to the VFW home for Children. I appreciate everyone's efforts in putting this show, rallye, and funkhana on. Our next big event is in August at Birch Run for the annual autocross we host. This event also brings in usually over $2000 profit that we use to support community organizations. Even for the non-racers in our club, your support in putting the event on helps grow the event by providing a better experience to the competitors. They come back and tell others. This helps the club achieve its stated goals, so don’t look past this event even if you are not a racer. We can use all the help we can get. I would say the same for the car show we do with Shaheen's, but I think the importance of that show is more direct and many turn out to support it.

With these events in mind, we need to support other organizations, events, and clubs in our community if we want them to support our causes. Don’t forget you get club competition points for attending other shows or competitions where you register and compete with your car displaying a Capital City logo somewhere (Shirt, window sticker, license plate frame, etc.). Talk to people, let them know who you are, and tell them about CCCC, and what our next event supports. This is how we continue to grow. One thing an organization the age of our club must be wary of is becoming comfortable and set in our ways. Our causes, our club, and the Corvette are relying on us to be ambassadors in our community!

Don’t forget to Wave!
