Member Spotlight
Don Magee is a Past President, among a great many other positions he has held, and duties he has performed for our club. Connie Magee has for years, among other things, been doing organizational and secretarial issues, keeping our membership list updated, making up show flyers, membership applications, sending pre show and post show letters to sponsors, Both Connie and Don volunteered their time to distribute car show flyers for many years to other area shows. They have solicited sponsorships for trophies, goodie bag items, even the bags themselves. They have stuffed goodie bags, worked all day at the show, attended and been actively involved in most club functions and meetings. They have promoted Beachcombers Corvette Club and have gladly done whatever is asked of them without hesitation. Their involvement and contributions to our club go back many years and surely include much more than could be mentioned in the short space provided here. We are grateful to have such committed members as you and the club truly appreciates you both.
In closing I ask you keep former members Otts and Pat Bortle in your prayers. According to Pat it appears that Otts’ days have become limited. This information is passed along with a heavy heart.
