Intake & Exhaust July 2017 4 th of July Parade: New Fairfield Our next General Meeting will be on Sunday AUGUST 13th at the Picnic JULY MEETING CANCELED Candlewood Valley Corvette Club, P.O. Box 2205, Danbury Ct. 06813-2205 PICNIC AUGUST 13 TH
President's Corner July's monthly meeting has been cancelled because many of our members, including me, will not be available to attend and it doesn't make sense to have a meeting with only a handful of people attending. We did, however, have an executive meeting and discussed many other topics other than the meeting. Among them was a plan to increase cooperation between us and the Westchester Club, with whom we have had several cooperative events. I spoke with their president, Dennis Tedesco, and we agreed to have a joint meeting of our and their executive boards to discuss further cooperation between our two clubs. We both agreed that each club would retain its unique identity but would find new ways to cooperate and support each other. On July 4, our Club had ten corvettes participating in the New Fairfield Parade and had a picture in the local News-Times. Bad weather forced cancellation of the Maywood Farm fireworks display on July 2. Some upcoming events are the July 30 Long Island Sound Lighthouse Tour that has twenty-three people signed up and paid. Our annual "No Car Show, After Car Show Party" will be held on Saturday, August 5 at 3PM at 792 Candlewood Lake Road South, New Milford. Save the date for this event and for our Club picnic on Sunday, August 13 at Bennett Memorial Park, 14 Shelter Rock Road, Bethel. Our regular picnic location in Macedonia Sate Park has been closed due to the state's budget crisis. Further information to follow on these events. Our Hospitality Chair, Nina Zschunke, Has undergone serious heart surgery and is recuperating at home. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Joe Wodarski President 2
