A Special Birthday Celebration from CI Members
Once again, Corvette Indy made Wayne and Jan Graham teary eyed! 
Backstory; Wayne is our honorary Corvette brother who has been Paralyzed since April 24, 2014, when a surgery went bad.  In the past year-and-a-half, we have been blessed to know Jan & Wayne. He is now moving his arms and legs and we are going to keep praying him back into his Torch Red 96 Coupe! 
A very special thanks goes to Mark Hilligoss for driving from Brownsburg to McCordsville to join us in making Wayne's 74th Birthday one he will never forget. Wayne; know that you are loved and prayed-up for a complete healing from all of your brother’s and sister’s in Corvette Indy! 
​Happy Birthday and  many many more! 
William, Sharon, and Mark

Paul Drives a Bentley 02/07
My friend here at Siesta Keys let me use his V12 Twin turbo Bentley.
Fast, kinda like a 4 seater C7. 
A lot of older ladies even give me the look when I drive by in this. 
Life is good, Paul Habecker

Indianapolis Home Show 01/22
Members Erika & Bill Lapham along with FCOA grandson Mitchel and his parents headed to the Home Show the afternoon before Mitch's Court of Honor to receive his Star rank. While there Mitch was able to gather a lot of loot and enjoyed checking out tiny houses along with the Corvette at the showcase house. Note to all, taking a youngster along allows you to pick up a lot of items without having to sign up!

Jerry and Elaine Croy headed to the Warren / Troy area of Detroit to attend this years annual event. While there they got to see the new Corvette ZR1 and Chevy Silverado, both of interest to club members.
