From the Office of the President August 2017 Since Pop's Pizza burned downed and won't be rebuilt for several months the committee decided to move the meeting around for the next few months until we decide on a new place or go back to Pop's if/when it opens again. Our August 8th meeting will be held at Crazy Pour, 105 W. North Ave., Villa Park, Il 60181. Diane and Dan Wagner found this place and it looks great. We will be meeting in the party room at the regular meeting time. We will have pizza as usual and you can order food on your own if you would like. It is a fun place. They may even rope off some spaces for Corvette only parking. Our September 12th meeting will be held at Aurilleo's Pizza at 1455 Lake Street, Addison, IL, 60101. We will meet in their Party Room at the regular time. We will have pizza and you can order food on your own as well. So the next few months will be fun. Happy Motoring and remember to Save the Wave. Patrick Lopardo President Northern Rays LTD.
