Hello May! Notes from the President Happy Mother's Day to all the corvette moms. Hope you have a great day. This is my favorite time of year; flowers blooming, 65-75 degree days, and cool nights. Great corvette weather. This month's meeting, Wed. 5/6, will be our last opportunity as a group to discuss the Bar-A show on Sun. 5/17. Last year's show was a tremendous success, and we're hoping for good weather and a great time for all. I'd like to thank the Bar-A committee and everyone involved for doing a great job. There are numerous events, shows, cruises, etc. this month and to follow. Please check our website or contact the activities committee for information. We're enjoying great success at Corvette Express right now. We are the largest and most active Corvette club in the area. As usual, it's about the people. Membership is growing steadily, and attendance at meetings is rising. Inviting people to an event, a meeting, or to join is a great way to keep the club inspired with new ideas, and growing. Thank you all for thinking of Corvette Express as I do, and thank you to our legacy members for getting us here. Yours in Corvettes, Rob Lombardi. Page 2
NOTES FROM THE EDITOR Greetings, and welcome (finally) to warm weather and sunshine! Despite the fact that April started out as an unwelcome extension of winter, I think we can now safely proclaim the start of what will hopefully be a fantastic season of corvette events, including cruises, car shows, and picnics! For those members who do not know me, my name is Lisa Force, and I am pleased and honored to assume the responsibility of the Corvette Expressions editor. A very special thanks to Joe Fernandez for years of dedication and hard work in the production of this newsletter! Sunday, April 12, was a fun day for members who participated in a car show at the Home Depot shopping center in West Long Branch. There were several different kinds of cars, but of course, the nicest ones were from Corvette Express! Special thanks to Ed Acquaviva for organizing this event. April 19 turned out to be a lovely day, perfect for a scenic, allday cruise to Pocono Pines and lunch at The Alpine Inn. Twenty-one members rode in an impressive procession of eleven gorgeous vets, attracting a plethora of attention from everyone they passed! A huge thank-you to Linda and Joe Fernandez who did an amazing job organizing this fabulous trip! Finally, as we begin the month of May, make sure you check the activity schedule as there are lots of great events coming up, including the Bar A car show on May 17. See you at the next meeting on May 6. Lisa Force Newsletter Editor Page 3
