Our next General Meeting will be held at the CVCC Picnic, on Sunday August 12th Please RSVP for the Picnic to Linda Ottavio at lindao.geneo@gmail.com 1 August 2018
President s Corner I'd like to open with a special "thank you" to Linda and Gene Ottavio for the "Mystery Cruise" they planned and conducted to the Millerton Inn on Main Street in Millerton, N.Y. We took an interesting, scenic route to the restaurant and finished with a fine meal served in our club's own dining area. Sadly, summer is slipping away. August 8 is the last day this year in which the sun sets after eight PM. We still have several club events on tap before the Corvette driving season comes to an end. The first is our annual club picnic, scheduled for 12 noon on Sunday, August 12, at Bennett Memorial Park, 14 Shelter Rock Road, Bethel, CT. (See attached flyer) We will collect $10 per person, as in the past, to cover the cost of food and the use of the park. The club will provide hamburgers and hot dogs, soda, water and a cake. Each participant is asked to bring a food dish to share, and to let Linda O. know what dish you will bring when you RSVP to Linda. If you wish to bring any beverages other than those provided by the club, feel free to do so. Please RSVP ASAP to Linda at lindao.geneo@gmail.com as to whether or not you will attend and which food dish you will bring. VERY IMPORTANT! There will not be a regular monthly club meeting on Thursday, August 16. Instead, we will have a brief meeting at the club picnic on August 12. A "No Car Show, After Car Show Party" held at my house, 792 Candlewood Lake Road South, New Milford, CT, 06776. Tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 25, 2018. Details to be announced.
