4 GEM Bunz Bakery and Burgers-by Tom Ury The CSCC met at BUNZ Bakery and Burger Bar on Thursday, Nov. 20 th. About 40 people attended the social dinner, and from what I could tell all were enjoying their conversations and Food. Some pictured, some not. Paul & Nancy Rahne welcome back!. Dave Ury, Rick Prescott, Tom Ury Turkey Rallye Nov 2 Chris & Jonathan Capshaw Jeff & Liz Scott John Gue, Olejniks, Walt Jenkins Thanks to all who attended: Chris Capshaw & Jonathan, Mike & Diana Dittman, Tom & Barb Hoeppner, John & Colleen Williams - new members, Rick Prescott, Dave & Phyllis Ury, Paul & Nancy Rahne, Bob & Adele Balink, Jerrry & Denise Phillips, Craig & Diane Wisniewski, William & Karen Draper, prospective member Curtis Haynes, Larry & Gwenda Valentine, John & Judith Gue, Lynn Wittrock, Pete & Alta Olejnik, Jeff & Liz Scott, Walt & Nancy Jenkins, Jerry & Diane Stermer, John Ames, Roger Miller, Brian & Peggy Dahl. by Jeff McCutcheon This year's Turkey Rallye saw a bit less turn out than in the past, but those that braved the weather forecast were treated to a fun time with friends, family and fellow enthusiasts. Representing CSCC by teams were Rik Noring & Roger Miller, the Jenkins, Loewens, Jeff & his dad, and Gina & Jeff's stepmom. The threatened snow is exactly what we got over Monument Hill and out east which prevented several of our members (Gina McCutcheon, the Jenkins) from participating in corvettes. For the McCutcheons, it was a family affair. My folks were visiting from NJ and had never been to one of our Corvette events. My father really wanted to watch a Corvette event and I think he was disappointed to learn that our rallyes are not really spectator friendly events. Instead, I asked him to be my navigator, and with some apprehension, he agreed. Gina and my stepmom teamed up in the 4Runner. The competition was on! After drawing cards for the two poker hands, we were off on the Pete Urenda (DCA) developed gimmick rallye! The weather was actually clear and the rallye took us through some nice back roads with pleasant scenery; if you were lucky enough to see it while focusing on spotting clues. At the finish, we gathered for a nice lunch and a couple of drinks while the results were tallied. Gina McCutcheon scored a first place finish in the gimmick rallye while I finished third. It will be a while before I hear the end of her gloating! I must say, The Turkey Rallye is one of my favorites and not just because it starts with donuts and ends with beer! This event was even more special because I was able to involve my folks. For the last few years, they have been hearing about all the things we do as a club and it was nice to be able to involve them in an event and introduce them to some of the cool friends we have made. They both felt welcome had a great time. Now if I can only get them in the car for an autocross or two! Trash Pickup Dec 6 by Tom Ury The CSCC Adopt-A-Highway Project, (AKA, Highway Beautification Project) was executed on December 6th. CSCC is responsible for cleaning up an area along Hwy at mile marker #134 3 or 4 times a year. We had a smaller group than usual with only 13 people making it, but thankfully, it had only been a short time since we did the last one so the trash was not as bad. The weather was overcast and chilly. We found some money and several active theft protection devices that were normally attached to packages. One never knows what treasures await. Ten of us adjourned after the cleanup and had breakfast at Sarge's Grill. All-in-all, it was a very good day. Jerry Griffin, Wayne Hoskins, Paul Thompson, Joe Horvath, John Williams, Dave Ury, Tom Ury, Jim & Judy Nile Pete & Alta Olejnik, and Vicki Ury with the camera By Diana Dittman Governor: Rik Noring & monthly interview Rik Noring was born and raised in Madison, Nebraska. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors degree in History in Florece was born and raised in Livermore California. She moved to Orem Utah with her parents for her last two years of High School. She graduated from Weber State University with a degree in Dental Hygiene. Rik and Florece met in Utah while Rik was at BYU, they were married in 1994 and have three children. Carlie is a recently engaged sophomore at BYU. She is studying to be a High School English teacher. Rick is a sophomore at Hanover High School. He enjoys sports and is currently working on rebuilding a 1979 Vette to be his first car. Dagny is in the 8 th grade at Hanover, and enjoys academics her goal is to continue her 3 year streak of 4.0 into High School. In 2005 the family moved to Colorado from Utah to join the family business as it moved to the present location South of Colorado Springs. Rik had a Corvette in his name back in 1976, he was only 5 and it was just a parts car. The first Corvette Rik and Florece owned was a 1992 white convertible. They purchased it with a bad knock in the engine from a family in Ogden, UT. After replacing the spark plug wires, and putting them on in the correct order, the Vette ran great! About a year later, they drove it to a NASCAR race in Las Vegas. While touring the Hoover dam, they noticed a red C5 at a Henderson dealer and made an even trade. With the increased luggage space, they went straight to the outlet mall. While Rik s favorite Corvette activity is Autocross, as a couple they love the Rallye! One of their favorite rallye memories was a few years ago. Rik had to officiate at graduation for Hanover, so during the middle of the rallye they veered from the course flew down Peyton Highway, popped into the graduation ceremony handed diplomas to all 12 graduates then returned to the rallye route. Rik & Florece strongly believe that the Corvette brings us together the friendships keep us coming back. Page 4 of 10

5 Christmas Baskets - Dec 13, 2014 Nothing comes off well without dependable members working behind the scenes planning, organizing and doing the grunge work.

Thanks to Susan Miskowitch for the maps, the family phone callers, Tom Hoeppner, friend Mike, and Christy Hallum for helping both days with the unloading/loading of food. And of course, all made possible by Lorren & Laurie Loewen making their shop available. In addition to the above, thanks to Melvin and Patti Swindale for again providing hot wheel cars for each child, and to other members who were there for the delivery day: Barb Hoeppner, Philip Moore, John & Colleen Williams, Jerry & Diane Stermer, Steve Rummel & helpers, Brian Dahl, Bob Knowles, Gaylord Klessig, Jeff & Mary Smith, Dave & Phyllis Ury, Rick Mendoza, Tom & Maite Hanon, Walt Jenkins, Gail & Jane Creighbaum, Ray Fullwood, Joel Midkiff, Ken & Hanna Hunter, Nick & Susan Renfro, Jeff & Liz Scott, Skip Seiling and Reta Rogers, Steve & Anita Smith, Russell & Cathy Gregg, Rick Prescott, Jeff & Gina McCutcheon & helpers, Karen & Wes Powell, Todd Butts, John Ames, Bob Balink, and Don Adametz, Loading the trailer The working crew With bells jingling and Christmas cheer in the air, the December 19 th CSCC Christmas Party was a wonderful way to celebrate with our Corvette friends. The party kicked off with a very enlightening game of Bingo. We were asked to cruise the room seeking the people that had some great secrets to share. Great Fun! Thank you Diana Dittman for cooking the game up for us! Prior to dinner, to spread a bit of cheer, we were all treated to a year at a glimpse video, produced by Tom Hoeppner. It was everything NICE about our Club in 2014, smiles, laughs, members, and Corvettes; all to the tunes of the Season. Like Christmas morning - the real excitement was yet to come After dinner, seven couples, representing the Corvette generations, C1 through C7, were asked to come forward. Each couple was challenged to send 2 tennis balls down and around, over and under the man s pants. The crowd was asked to cheer their choice on to victory. Laughter was heard at the North Pole! The best gift of the night was the story of Christmas With The Right Family. The story didn t have reindeer dancing on the roof nor did it have visions of sugar plums. The action packed story had us all going right, left, back, and behind; passing envelopes from person to person teasing each of us with delicious gifts from a bottle of wine, to a $1,000,000,000 chocolate bar, to a $100,000 lotto ticket. Oh - HO, HO, HO it was a Jolly St. Tom that kept us a bit confused but always laughing. New Members Russell & Cathy Gregg 1 st VP Brian Dahl I would like to say Thank You to a couple of member elves: to Phyllis Ury for helping make the beautiful centerpieces, to Dave and Tom Ury for the help with the place cards, to Diana Dittman for dreaming up the Bingo and tennis ball games, to Rob Miskowitch for having his camera always at the ready, and to Tom Hoeppner for producing the truly enjoyable video and for remembering he had the Christmas With The Right Family story.
