Tom Geul Membership Report At the February 6 meeting we had 20 members and one visitor, Jackie Houk, who found us through our website. I invited Jackie and her husband Ed to come to the January Banquet, Ed was unable to come but Jackie enjoyed herself sitting with Carol & Bob Ropollo, Jerry & Annette Waltenberger, and Dutch Schwarze & Bridgitte. We have two more new members, Mike & Kellie Johnston, who also found us through our website. The meeting room is very nice at the Market Place at Giant Eagle at Portage Crossing. We need to remember that we need to make purchases of food and drink that day of $150 to continue to use the room free of charge. There are plenty of food choices, so come early, eat and socialize.

4 Vice President Chuck Heretta After this past weekend, I am getting the urge to start looking for competition events to participate in with our Corvette. You may ask yourself, I want to start enjoying my Corvette also, but I m not quite sure where to look. As I promised last month, I am going to explain where to look and how to use this aide. It used to be that the Regional Competition Directors (RCD for short) published a schedule listing events, which club was sponsoring the events, and if you were lucky, your club newsletter editor put a copy of the flyer in your newsletter. Times have changed with the electronic age. Members can now find for themselves, the events by date, the flyer submitted by the host club, and at the appropriate time, the actual results from the event. Here is how you find all this information for East Ohio events and for events held in various other Regions on any particular weekend. Ready? Go on the internet and type in: - this should bring you to the home page. Next click on the Competition box which will take you to a page that lists various competition areas. You are looking for the Link to the NCCC Competition Events & Points Reporting. To find only East Ohio events for 2017, scroll down to the East Ohio section and click on This will give you the latest schedule of events and if there is a flyer available yet. You are there! On this page, you will be able to view the flyer for the event. Just click on the flyer button, and it will open. Our Editor places all available flyers in our newsletter so you will be able to look at them without having to print them. This page in the NCCC website gives you a planning tool to map out your competition travels throughout the year. If you backup one click, you will see the Link To The NCCC National Schedule. When you click on this link, you are able to view the entire National Competition schedule weekend by weekend. It shows all events on a particular weekend across the Nation. As your Vice President, one of my duties is to keep you informed of what is going in the Competition arena. So saddle up your horsepower under the hood, buckle those belts, and enjoy the ride in America s only true sports car...the Corvette. Next month - a breakdown of the schedules. Thanks for taking the time to read this article. There will not be a test. Chuck Heretta
