The last meeting of the year was again well attended with over 90 members enjoying the warmth of the indoors at the Carmel Legion along with other Corvette Indy friends. The evening's weather was getting colder with a bit of dampness so no Corvettes ventured out. The business meeting went fairly quickly with a longer discussion on what events the club should do during the 2019 driving season with new Drive N Dine destinations and holding the annual Main Event autocross along with the Vettes N Vets All Corvette Show. Next big event is the club's Christmas Party being held on Saturday December 8 again at the Legion. Next meeting is on Monday January 7, 2019
All of the Corvette Indy members wish everyone a joyous Christmas Holiday Season.

With a cool Fall evening a number of the 100 members enjoyed the buffet and before meeting social time which has become a hallmark of Corvette Indy meeting nights. We also celebrated Phil's 90th Birthday the previous weekend with everyone getting a piece of cake. Great job Phil, may other members emulate your longevity. Once the meeting started the officer reports were short as possible so that the nominations for next year's officers could be done. Several offices have two members running for them, so there will definitely be elections during the October 5 meeting. Nominations will be reopened at that meeting prior to the elections taking place.

Another great early Fall evening brought out over 30 Corvettes and nearly 100 members to the first meeting in October. Much of the meeting recapped the extremely successful Main Event held the previous weekend, even with the venue change to Grissom we had a full number of workers to put on another great event that Corvette Indy is know for, as we got many complements from competitors and other club workers too. With that recap and other discussions of upcoming events including a DnD to Beef House this Thursday, another DnD to Ann's Restaurant on Saturday and the Chili supper in a few weeks, the meeting went until after 8. The club remains busy in the month of October. Be sure to keep an eye out for emails as last minute Hookey Player DnD's are being planned too.

On a beautiful late summer evening around 100 members and 40 Corvettes attended the second meeting of September. As always lots of socializing before the 7:00 start, along with a quick Main Event meeting by Butch to remind everyone that it is now only a couple of weekends away. The meeting went a bit long with officer reports and other discussions taking up the evening that it was actually dark as everyone left. Bob displayed a quart of the new US formula 0W-40 Mobil 1 oil that is now used in all 2019 Corvettes and suggested for all C7's. Be sure to look at the picture of the bottle in the meeting pictures so that you purchase the correct version for your Corvette.
Again as a reminder our 29th Annual Main Event is on the September 29 & 30 weekend.

Eighty seven members and guests and a good number of Corvettes arrived for the second meeting of July. Unfortunately the Corvette owners can no longer say that they have never been in the rain, as there was a 10 minute shower before the meeting. The meeting went very quickly as reports were short, but a bit of time was spent recounting the two big weekend parties, the Beach Boys concert hosted by the Coles, and the Christmas in July party hosted by the Shermans. Anyone that went to either or both had a great time. To celebrate July birthdays a number of cakes showed up, so definitely everyone got a piece that wanted one. We also had a couple of members that had been having health issues attend and both reported that they are doing much better. Upcoming events include the trip to SE Indiana and the Penske Car Show in mid August. The meeting wrapped up by 7:45 to many cheers!

The second meeting of the month was again well attended with over 90 members and 35 Corvettes in attendance. After most had finished eating and before the meeting Happy Birthday's were extended to June babies and two cakes cut and served for everyone's enjoyment.

As Ray continued the meeting many 'no reports' were given in an attempt to move along. The 2018 Main Event t-shirt was shown with a return to the previous design with the addition of Autocross on the banner. It will be in a Navy Blue this year, with Arminta taking prepaid orders now. The longest report was Jim's, our social director, as there is so much happening yet in June and in to July with many Car Shows, Drive N Dines, and the usual weekly events. Also there is Bloomington Gold this coming weekend with club members working on the autocross and Corvettes on the Circle on Friday night.

The club's second meeting in February was well attended with nearly 75 members on a damp but warming evening. As with past meeting nights the before meeting buffet was great and enjoyed by all. With the fact that we now can be self served for our meal and actually get finished quicker it was decided during the meeting to now start it at 7:00 beginning with the March 5 meeting.

The first meeting in February had 73 members attend on a cold and what became snowy evening. The before meeting meal was plentiful and enjoyed by all along with the couple of hours of social time. The meeting went well with several of the reports being skipped due to officers out sick or on vacation. During this meeting a motion was brought up and passed to make the Camel Legion Post the permanent location for meetings as it has been working out so well. It will be nice to have a location that has a lot of parking, great food, and room for well over 100 members to attend meetings as we head in to summer. Other upcoming events were also covered.
(Note: The Webmaster was among the missing so no pictures of the meeting but It Did Happen!)

January's meeting, in the middle of the month, was on an extremely cold and snow covered evening but still had 62 hardy members making it there. The food and soups were hot to warm everyone before the meeting time, which certainly helped. An ice cream cake also appeared to commemorate Ray's first meeting, a reminiscence of Champps birthday cakes. New president Ray brought the meeting to order at 7:30 with officer reports soon following. During Sharon's report Gregg Ernest remembered Bob Phillips, one of our original members, who had passed away over the holidays. Activity awards were made to Mark & Donna for scoring the most club points during 2017. Later in the evening past president Wylie was presented the coveted presidents jacket for his years of service. During Bill's Governors report he noted the positions needing help for the 2020 NCCC convention in Indianapolis to take place. Look for an email from Jim Shaver with the full list and descriptions. He also announced that due to a conflict with a St. Louis club the dates for this year's Main Event will be moved to September 29 & 30. Butch is still working on confirming the Airport parking lot as the location, but will not know for sure until later in the spring. Also during the meeting Charlie joined it on Facetime from his hospital bed, as he had his left hip replaced earlier in the day. Everyone wished him well and a speedy recovery.
