Message from the Prez . . .April has been a busy month with car shows and aclub trip. The drive and eat took us locally to Andaleso people could be home in time to see the Jayhawks.We had a great turn out plus two prospectivemembers. Thanks to Dale and Barbara for beingsympathetic to all the basketball fans needs andtaking us to a place with a television and good food.That weekend weather was great for a drive to Enid tothe corvette show and the drive and eat. The followingweekend was not as nice for the drive to Columbia, asfive corvettes braved the potential for rain and snow,which arr ived Saturday morning. However, theweather did not dampen the fun or spirit of thischaritable event. The weather for our trip to Tulsa was

excellent. 15 vettes and 1 cruiser made the trip to seesome very impressive “Old Iron”. After lunch at Ted’swe departed for Ugly John’s where we were treated toa guided tour of his outstanding collection. I can’tbelieve there were not a few trips down memory lanewhile looking at all the cars. I would like to thank Jimfor setting this up, it was a very enjoyable day. Don’tforget the Lone Star Corvette Classic coming May16-18, registration is due by May 1. Also, at the Maymeeting we will be discussing new club shirt colors socome and voice your opinion.

See you at the meeting,Monte
