Low Flying Vettes

The scene was the North Omaha Airport, newly renamed to the

Veterans Airport. Corvettes and other custom cars gathered to

honor veterans and contribute canned food to help those in need.

World Champion Stunt pilot Debby Rihn-Harvey, who has ties to

several members of CCC, made several spectacular passes over the

field. We can only wonder if she wished she could make a pass in a

Corvette instead.

After the show, some members made their way to the La Vista Convention Center with a special

purpose in mind. We had been invited to bring two of our partiotic cars to be placed at the entrance of

the convention hall to welcome veterans that evening.

Bill and Evonne Williams of Omaha, and their staff at Patriotic Productions, spend the entire year raising

money to send veterans to Washington D.C. as part of the Honor Flight program. The veterans are

honored at a dinner the evneing before the flight.

This year’s flight was the

first for VietNam vets and

they really seemed to

appreciate having the cars

there to greet them.

Nearly 1800 people were on hand to honor the veterans at the dinner. Speakers and dignitaries

included former Governor Dave Heinman and Congressman Jeff Fortenberry, as well as a Bob Hope

impersonator.

Convention Roars into Omaha

“Best convention ever!” That was the sentiment from many long-time convention visitors as over 400

people attended the week-long event. After 2 years of planning and working, the dream of the national

convention in Omaha became a

reality.

The La Vista Convention Center

was an excellent venue, serving

outstanding food, wonderful

service and a fabulous building

complete with reserved parking

for Corvettes.

The convention goers were treated an Elvis concert,

music by Pink Kadillac and Wheelin’ N Dealin’ and a

host of presentation and ceremonies.

The salute to the Armed Forces and First Responders brought everyone to their feet.

Mother Nature did her part by holding

off the rain for all but a part of one day.

In return, she gave us the hottest week

of the summer. That just seemed to

make those cold beverages taste so

much better in the hospitality room.

The tours were very popular and many

people said they could not wait to

return to Omaha. That may be some

time if they are waiting for the

convention to return here.

After all of the hard work, convention workers

were looking forward to well deserved rest. The

bar has been set very high for future conventions.

Appreciation for the 2016 Convention

I'd like to share my thoughts with you about the convention. As I stood at the podium Friday morning

basking in the glory of our accomplishments, I couldn't help but think that all of you that contributed in

any way with our success, should have been up there too. There's only been one or two other times

when I've been prouder. The highlights of the week have to be the Monday night salute to Veterans,

first and foremost. Thanks to Ray Kennedy for his efforts. Secondly, the organization of every one of our

events was outstanding. Believe it or not, people commented to me that was the first and foremost

thing they appreciated. The second thing was the activities they could participate in, and the last was

the great food at Embassy. Each and everyone of you that played a part in our success need to be

congratulated, is was a wonderful team effort. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the one person who

played the biggest part in our convention, Jerry Koraleski. All the things that you saw come off without a

hitch, that was because of his efforts. He and I spent thousands of hours preparing, but without his

guidance, it would have never been as flawless as it was. Thank you Jerry!!!!!! Take the next week off

and enjoy the summer.

Thanks again for everything.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Two years ago I stood in front of you and asked you as a club to host the 2016 NCCC convention. I was

so proud of you and our community and I wanted to show off what we had here.

You all exceeded my expectations. The tours to the Zoo, Borsheims, Lauritzen Gardens, Boystown and

the Air and Space Museum were conducted because of the contacts you all have. Thank you for a job

well done.

I knew we had the experience to put on low and high speed events. Thanks to Randy, Don, Ron and

Paul. Mother Nature was rough on us with the rain and heat but you did a great job. The competitors

enjoyed the track.

Bill and Sandy did a great job of memorializing this event in pictures. Thank you.

Special thanks to Gene and Jerry who bore the brunt of the work with many trips to St Louis in addition

to all the work they did to organize the event. I had a rough skeleton of an idea for a schedule. Gene

and Jerry flushed it out, dressed it up. THANK YOU!

You all put the bling on my initial idea. Thanks again for a job well done. I am so proud to be a part of

this organization.

Kathy Brisbois

We had the best time at the NCCC convention. The club did an awesome job planning for and hosting

this event. Thank you to all who worked so hard to put this convention together. Very well done!!!!!

Jacqueline Whitehead

What a busy, wonderful week we've had. Even though Pat & I voted "NO" on having the convention

here, (we're kind of lazy) we were happy to help and proud of all the Cornhusker Corvette Club gang

that worked so hard to make sure all our guests had a great time. And.....if anyone ever needs a

convention venue, we cannot say enough about what a great place the LAVISTA CONVENTION CENTER

was. Their staff bent over backwards to fulfill our many assorted needs. It is a beautiful place and we're

so happy to have it in our city! Best convention food EVER! I just can't say enough about how great they

were in every aspect possible!

And a special thanks to Gene Gau and Jerry Koraleski for their wonderful, tireless leadership. We

appreciate you guys more than we could ever say.

I want to say thanks to Sandy Swift and Bill Cashell for all the photos you took of everyone. Ray Kennedy

for all the transportation you set up. Everyone loved the fact that they didn't have to drive and get lost

going around Omaha. A huge thanks to all the workers that put on all the events and outings. I have

never seen so many happy people leaving convention before. YOU DID AND OUTSTANDING JOB. Now

that you see what convention is all about, maybe we can get you to go Bowling Green in 2017 where

you don't have to do anything but have a good time.

Proud to be a Cornhusker and part of the 10 time national club Champions.

Teresa Eller

Thanks to all who helped make this convention such a success

Dancing in the Street in Plattsmouth

As the evening started, it looked like a small group

of a little more than a dozen CCC members would be

at Mom’s Restaurant in downtown Plattsmouth for

dinner.

The group quickly grew to 36 as the people seemed

to come out of the woodwork.

After a delicious meal, the group moved outside to

enjoy a free concert by the band Daybreak.

Dancing broke out on Main Street as the CCC

members showed off their moves.

It wasn’t pretty, but it sure was fun.

Hot Summer Nights in Sioux Falls

Imagine downtown Sioux Falls lined with Corvettes and people. Every year before the Black Hills Rally, thousands

of people invade this town for a car show that is limited to Corvettes only. Kevin and Jayne Reit hosted the drive

up to this charming South Dakota city. The evening started with dinner at the popular restaurant Minerva’s and

ended with a stop for ice cream. No surprise there. Eating is what we do best.

Page 11: HHUUSSKKEERR NNEEWWSS ’’NN VVIIEEWWSS€¦ · -28 Galena/Vettes on the River September Sep 2-5 Summer Festival Sep 11 Mary Our Queen Car Show Sep 15 General Meeting Sep 17 Sid

Dog Day Afternoon at Petrow’s

What can be better on a hot afternoon than a cool beverage on a cool patio at Petrow’s Restaurant? The

only thing that would make it better is if all this fun could support a good cause. On this night, Petrows’s

was donating 15% of all of their sales to the Nebraska Humane Society. Some people even brought their

dogs as a show of support. My wife brought me to show her support. A good time was had by all.

German American Stein Night

On St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish. On Stein Night at the German American Society, everyone is

German. That means you can bring your favorite stein and get it filled with one of the fabulous German

beers and enjoy a meal of German food. The CCC was well represented. Here are the highlights:

George & Carolyn greeted everyone

The Polka Police entertained us

Now, that is a Stein!

Dance Party!

The World Famous Chicken Dance

Joan joined the Polka Police

Table Dance anyone?

Polka Stars!

I’ll show you mine if

you show me yours

(Totally sober?)

Super Saturday

It had been a whole week since hosting the national convention, and the Cornhusker Corvette Club was

ready for action. The day started at Rick and Joan Harshbarger’s for the Gretna Parade.

Thousands of people lined the street on a picture perfect day. The line of beautiful Corvettes had to be

the highlight of the parade.

Page 14: HHUUSSKKEERR NNEEWWSS ’’NN VVIIEEWWSS€¦ · -28 Galena/Vettes on the River September Sep 2-5 Summer Festival Sep 11 Mary Our Queen Car Show Sep 15 General Meeting Sep 17 Sid

After the parade, it was off to Mama’s Pizza to do what we do best…eat!

Later that afternoon, it was a road trip to Lincoln’s James Arthur Vineyard where the popular ban, Tuna

Fish Jones was playing. This is Ken and Pattie Bena’s favorite band. Notice Pattie “photo-bombing” us.

NON SANCTIONED EVENT REMINDERS

Right now you may be looking at this

page and wondering, “Where is the

detailed information?” Good

question!

One problem we have had in the past

is having the detailed information on

the web site, in the newsletter and

emails from the Membership

Director. So, what happens if there is

a change in an activity, such as time,

date or location change?

Since the newsletter is only published

once per month, it is hard to

republish with every change. If

someone does not get the email or

check the web site, they could have

incorrect information. The solution

was to have the information is one

place – the easiest place to update to

make sure people have the most

current information.

From now on, the calendar on our

club website will be the place to go

for all of the most current details and

changes. Upcoming newsletters and

emails from the Membership Director

will only list events with no details.

They will direct you to the calendar

on the website for more information.

Always check there for the most

current information and updates.

Here is the link for the calendar

http://cornhuskercorvette.club/calen

dar.html

Have you ever seen this

before on reminders? It’s

very important!

NEED HEADCOUNT - contact Kathy

([email protected] )

We have had a few issues at

restaurants where they have not had

enough food, tables or wait staff to

handle our large groups. Any time

it’s noted that a headcount is needed,

PLEASE notify the contact shown for

the social or event that you plan to

be there. That gives the venue

adequate time to make arrangements

for additional staff or food needed so

they can provide the best service and

experience for us. It’s a win-win for

everyone!

***Please remember to bring non perishable goods for the Food Bank to the monthly meeting. Also bring small unused toiletries you have from hotels for Mohm’s Place, a shelter in Council Bluffs.

2017 NCCC CONVENTION BACK ON

TRACK AGAIN

April 23rd at the NCCC second quarter Governor’s

meeting in St. Louis it was announced that the 2017

NCCC Convention was cancelled. NCCC had some

bumps in the road and a road block, but I want

everyone to know that the road has been repaired and

the NCCC 2017 Convention is back on the road ready

for everyone to head to Bowling Green, KY for the

58th annual party of Corvette events and fun. The

location is the home of the Corvette, the Corvette Assembly Plant, the National Corvette

Museum, and the new Motor Sports Park, and all there for NCCC to see, play, and have

fun. Check the NCCC Website for the latest updates.

The Chair people Richard Yanko and Deb Murphy are working on the event for next year.

The official announcement from Richard and Deb is below.

Thank you everyone for being patient while the details were worked out. All is good!
