With the recent enrollment by the Ybarra’s and Wright’s in the National Corvette Museum, 100% of our officers and board members are now members in good standing. We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the NCM and build important relationships within the Corvette community but with just 40% overall participation, I still have some of you to bring into the tent. I am working to finalize a group discount that may allow us to bundle a NCM membership with our club membership and provide a savings for our members. Stay tuned for details.
Curtis and Janie Russel’s 2023 Rapid Blue Corvette rolled off the line in Bowling Green on March 7th. They still plan to take museum delivery on March 25th!
Our banner that will fly at the museum this year has been designed and submitted. It will fly for a year before returning to the club. As you may recall, John Anhalt generously bid to own the flag upon its return at last year’s fund raiser that funded our club’s lifetime membership. Because of the significance of the 70th anniversary, I was able to influence the museum to allow Space City Corvette to fly a second flag in spite of the honor being sold out each year! As soon as the flags are raised, I will provide photos.
If you have any thoughts about showing at Keels and Wheels Concours d’Elegance on May 6-7, the deadline is March 31st. I have arranged to have both Brian Baker (Director of Collections and Education) and Sharon Brawner (CEO) from the NCM to attend. A significant portion of the program will be honoring Corvette’s 70th anniversary. A meet and greet is in the works for the Thursday or Friday prior to the event. Details to follow.
A page on our club site is now available to see my reports and learn what is happening at the National Corvette Museum.
