Please join the Columbia County Corvette Clubs Sponsors Appreciation Picnic on Saturday July 12, 2008. Help us show our sponsors how much we appreciate their support. It will be held at the home of Doug & Sue Hahn’s near LaValle. It is potluck so please bring a dish to pass. We will be grilling something also. Tableware will be provided. We hope that we could start gathering at the farm around 6:00 pm. for socializing and refreshments. We will plan to eat around 7:00 p.m. We will have an assortment of refreshments on hand but feel free to bring your own if there is something special that you like to drink. There are some road signs as you leave Reedsburg on 33 toward LaValle that show that 33 is closed ahead but the roads are open to our place. I hope that the link to the map below will help you find us but if you have any questions please phone: (608) 985-7297 or e-mail dchahn@mwt.net . Ron & Kari will lead the group to the picnic from Portage for those of you who would like to meet at the K-Mart Parking lot. We ask that if you choose to ride with the group from Portage that you meet at 4:45pm and leave “promptly” at 5pm.

PS: A RSVP would be nice but please come even if you don’t RSVP.

Last year Sue and I decided that we were going to take a road trip to the west coast. After telling friends of our plan we found that it was something that others wanted to do also. As the plans progressed the group grew to 8 Corvettes that would start out together on what turned out to be a trip of over 6000 miles in two weeks. We had some great experiences, got to see some fantastic sights and best of all we were able to share it with friends and those who would become friends.
The reason I write this is that we are again in the very early stages of planning 2 trips this summer. The first is to Niagara Falls and begins June 21st. Our plan for this trip is to be gone a week. I am hoping to make part of this trip in Canada so passports will be necessary. The second is September 6th southward to Savannah Georgia and including the Tail of the Dragon, Maggie Valley and more. We hope to do this trip in one week also.
We will be meeting several times before the trips to make plans. If this sounds like fun and you want join in on one or both of the trips please let us know. If you’re not sure and you just want to sit in on some planning feel free to do so. Our first planning meeting is April 13th. Contact us for the details. The idea is to have fun and you are welcome join in.

Hats off to our clubs web designer Greg VanBlaricom. He has and is making some exciting changes to our website. The most recent changes are that of the Photo Gallery and Blog Page. This is all new to the club website and looks to be something that people can get involved in as much or as little as they would like. Please take some time to check out the CCCC website( http://www.columbiactycorvetteclub.org/ and keep in mind that this is a work in process. We ask for your patience, we realize that some things like the members list that needs to be updated and we are working on it. I hope that everyone tries to set them selves up a login and password. After that you will be able to post photos and join in on the conversation in the blog page. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems getting set up. I’ll post a link to an instructional 11 page PDF that may help you through the process of setting up your login.
