P a g e 2 Membership Committee Lillian Loudermilk MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE October, 2014 Well we had another good turn-out this month at our business meeting. I would like to remind everyone to be sure to use the Sign-In Sheet upon arrival. I would like to welcome our newest members, Paul Bonczek and Sandy Luke to our club. We look forward to getting to know them in the future. Paul Ferrari also attended his second business meeting and has already Lillian Loudermilk been to a couple of socials in the last couple of months. He will be processed this month and receive his new member package at next month s meeting. We had several prospective guests, Vincent Antone, Tom Dickson and Nancy Pace, and Amy and Gary Allen. We had a couple of visitors attend, Bessie Fretterd and Joe Lynch (relatives of Lou Franze) as well as Johnny Ferrara past President of FCCC. Also, please contact me if you ever hear of any of our members being under the weather. Often times I do not hear that someone is sick or is having surgery until months later. So it would be appreciated if members could let me know any news so that Lin Britt can send out cards. If anyone needs a new mouse pad ($5.00) or a new car decal ($3.00), they can be purchased at each month s business meeting. The updated list of all Officers, Board & Committee Members are on the website under the member s category only. We had 32 people eat dinner and approximately 55 people in attendance at the business meeting. Ray Woodward won the 50/50 Raffle drawing. November Birthdays Members 111 Households 59 Corvettes 84
P a g e 3 Long Range Cruise Committee Dan Beyer October was a very busy month with our show on October 12th. However, seven members and two prospective members traveled to Melbourne, Florida to the annual Corvette show there. Was a very nice day and had a great lunch. Greg Norton and Bill Scott won trophies. Dan and Pat Norbut won a sizeable 50/50 pot. Congratulations to all. On November 1, 14 club members traveled to the Dixie Commons Animal Clinic (Bunnell, FL) for a small car show. A little windy and chilly, but all enjoyed the free refreshments and the costumed animals. Just a reminder of the November shows. November 15, Marion County Corvette Dan Beyer Show at the Don Garlits Museum in Ocala. November 22, Florida Deaf and Blind School Show in St. Augustine and the Palm Beaches Corvette Club Show on November 29 at Disney in Orlando. Save the Wave Dan

Flagler County Corvette Club Meetings held monthly at: The Hilton Garden Inn 55 Town Center Blvd. Palm Coast, FL 32164 (Corner of SR-100 & City Center Blvd.) 2nd Monday of each month Paul Kachura President Phone: 631-334-9098 Email: pkvette@yahoo.com Our club was founded in 1998 by a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to share their enjoyment of Corvettes with likeminded people. Over the years the club has grown to what it is today. The club sponsors a wide variety of activities during the year. In addition to our monthly meetings, we try to schedule at least one club event each month including car cruises to Corvette-related shows and events. We hold annual holiday parties and an annual picnic. The highlight of our year, however, is our FCCC Corvette Car Show, "Corvettes at the Beach", where we regularly attract over 200 show car Corvettes from all years, 1953 to present.
