were just SOME of the recent Club events.

CORVETTE TRIVIA
In 1987 you could buy a
Corvette without an engine installed by the factory.
The 1997 Corvette C5 is
the first Corvette designed from the ground up to be a Corvette.. Not
borrowing parts from other cars. One of the few "Off the Shelf"
parts - the exterior door handles, same ones used on the Oldsmobile Aurora.

Minutes of the MSGCCC Meeting
Thursday, 26 April 2007
We had 63 members in attendance at our April meeting
at Preston-Hood Chevrolet. Good show, Guys!
James McLeod, Parts Manager, welcomed the Club to
Preston-Hood.
Robert recounted the tale of the broken fan belt
on Jada’s Vette during our trip to the NCM. He gave a vote of thanks to
Advance Auto Parts for getting the belt to Elizabethtown, KY, overnight.
We had several new members in attendance at our
meeting.
Robert showed off the model Vettes that will be
mounted on the trophies to be awarded during Vettes by the Shore. Needless to say, they look great. Rain did a
great job of rounding them up for the Club. Speaking of VBTS, we really need all our members to register their cars for
the show. It isn’t going to look good if, with as many members as we have now,
if some other club outshines us. So get crackin’, guys. You can register on
line or use the hard copy registration form, but register, please. We plan to
get together on Saturday, June 2, to put the trophies together. More info will
be forthcoming.
Joe Fleming reported that there was no news to
report on Cruisin’ the Coast (CTC). A meeting will be held prior to our May
meeting and he will have info for us then.
The Club’s supported Cruise-in in the Edgewater
Mall parking lot will be held Saturday, May 5th, from 6-9 PM. We would appreciate as
many folks showing up as possible.
Darlene Crews gave a report on the Camp Shelby
Show. Top of the list was the Crews’ Soldier’s Choice Trophy.
Congratulations, Tommy and Darlene!
Carolyn Meyer reported on the Club’s trip to the
NCM and our cruise to the Maker’s Mark distillery. A great time was had by all
who made the trip.
John Blair gave a report on the trip that
several Club members took to the show in San Antonio, Texas. It sounded as if
it was a great time. James and Wanda Alverson received the “Best in Class” trophy
for their Vette. Congratulations Jim and Wander Faye.
September 15th – There will be a “Vettes and Jets on
the Lex” show on the USS Lexington, berthed at Corpus Christi, Texas. It is
planned to put 300 Vettes on the flight deck. On Sunday, their will also be an
open car show.
Bruce Dunagan gave a report on the Route 66 trip
taken by several Club members. It sounded like that was a very interesting
trip and a lot of fun.
Richard Blanton gave a report on the Club’s
participation in the presentation of Corvette memorabilia to the McBride
youngster. Most of us probably saw the report in the Sun Herald and on
WLOX-TV.
The Club will return to the “Tail of the Lizard”
on May 12th.
It is hoped we have a good turnout for the cruise. We will eat at a yet to be
determined restaurant following the run.
The Club’s Cruise to Mexico on Carnival Lines is
scheduled for May 21st.
