T he start of a great summer with our Wally’s Spot

car show. Thank you to all those who made the show a huge success, both with help setting up

and taking down, and thanks to all the participants with their Corvettes… GREAT JOB to all!!! Next year will be

bigger and better. Mark your calendars for June 23, 2013, again ROCKER will be playing outside. There are a limited

amount of shirts left from the show at $20 each. This is the last year of the show shirt, we are planning something new

for next year’s show.

My goal at the start of the year was 200 members and one run a week during the Corvette season. We are now at 197

members and about a run every other week. Thanks to all the members and their planning of dinner and ice cream runs. It’s never enough when it comes to

driving your Corvette, that's why we have them...to drive!!! Any member that would like to create a simple or complex run please do so! If you need help

planning please contact any one of the club officers or board members. It can be a dinner, lunch or even breakfast run, ice cream run, wine tasting run, an over-

night or weekend run, even a week or 2 long run. You plan the date and we will help you organize the run. New ideas help make the club more fun and enjoyable

for everyone. No one can make all runs so the more we have the more chances people have to join in one or more per month.

Reminders: The “Leicht at Nite” show in downtown Green Bay is set for July 26th at 5:30 pm. I ask that all members help out by just showing up and participating

in this event. Let’s show Green Bay what a huge pack of Corvettes look like! We will have a huge audience and what a great way to possibly pick up a few new

members. Our POKER RUN/SUMMER PARTY is set for Saturday, July 28th. See info in newsletter for all the details. This is your club, it is what YOU make it.

We still need a committee for the Oct. 27th club Halloween

costume party to be held at Wally’s Spot. We have the room in back reserved and just need some members to

step forward and help make it a night to remember.

Thank you again for making the Corvettes of the Bay the

best Corvette club in Wisconsin!!!

50/50 Raffle: If members want to have additional runs bring it up during the “New Business” part of the meeting. The Club will assist in publishing information and getting members to attend. Also, feel free to use Facebook or the Club’s website if you want to set up something. The Club stance is the more runs and activities the better. Goal to have at least 1 run a week during the Corvette season.

Sundaes on Sunday: Thank you to Randy and Jan Kempen for planning the Sundaes run to Scoops in Chilton. We had a great run and the ice cream was fantastic! Also, thank you to Dennis and Lisa Fenrick for the impromptu stop on the way home at Ledgestone Winery.
