BEACHCOMBERS CORVETTE
CLUB’S
ANNUAL CAR SHOW – AUGUST
16, 2008
On the grounds of 1st State Chevy-Olds
Route 113 – Georgetown,
Delaware
Chairman – Bill Shaw
– 302-541-4891
First thing I have to do is
correct something that was written in last month’s newsletter. Newsletter Editor (my wife Dianne) was
left to her own demise in interpreting my notes and made a boo-boo because I
don’t write too clearly.
Sorry everyone! Our members
will not be registering their Corvettes at the 2008 show. They will not be in the competition and
they will not pay any fees. Our
cars will be parked together and on display for show goers to see. The only cost to a member is if they
want to purchase a picture plaque for $10.
If you want to purchase a
picture plaque please be mindful that no club pics will be taken the day of the car show. Members pics will be taken at the June and July club meetings so if
you want a picture of you in your car and a plaque to put it in you need to call Joe Schluck
at 302-855-0358. Call Joe and
let him know if you want your picture taken at the June or July club meeting.
Thanks to Connie Magee for
volunteering to coordinate the Door Prizes.
Many thanks to Michelle
Esposito’s for asking her friends and associates to contribute to our
LDAF fundraiser car show. She
collected $600 which will go directly to LDAF! Talk about members who
”Can Do”!
Kudos to Mr. Sponsorship, Jim
Willis who is working ardently to EXCEED last year’s sponsor totals...and
gathering door prizes along the way!
Not only does this guy have a gift for attaining sponsors…he seems
to have a gift for charming 4 computers out of the owner of Bob’s Marine
in Clarksville. These computers
will go to the school for the kids.
Bob is having his IT people set everything up. I know this worthy contribution will be
significant for “the kids”. Live in the Clarksville area and have a boat?...support Bob’s Marine.
MEMBER GETS KA-BOOMED
DAYS LATER HE COMES TO HIGHWAY CLEAN-UP
It
has been said “you can’t keep a good man down” and our Doug Riniker is living proof…in living color too! Earlier in the month Doug took a line
drive off the
bat of his Son…KA BOOM! The ball fractured his cheek bone and ricocheted
crushing his sinuses, hitting his eye and fracturing his temple. He was a VERY LUCKY MAN…and very
colorful as Cindy described the various stages of bad bruising. Happily he is recovering nicely and even
showed up for the Highway Clean-Up.
Don’t over do it Doug.
Be patient Nurse Cindy!
MEMBER GOES UNDER THE KNIFE
AND COMES OUT KICKING BETTER THAN EVER
Our Fred
Chidister is recovering nicely from his March knee
replacement surgery … OH…EEEEKKKKK…OWIE! We hope his therapy has given him a gait
that is pain free…or at least moving toward pain free. Gotta
get that knee in tip-top shape Fred!
The
ladies are waiting! Keep up the
good work. We’re pulling for
you!
MAY MEETING – 50/50 WINNER – This is not the first
time a new member has won the 50/50.
Congrats to Andrew Bullis who won
$81! Hummmm…
maybe referring members should be entitled to a recruitment bonus!
*****************************************************************
DOOR
PRIZES – The door prizes was
donated by Jack Ruscansky and won by Daphne Blaker.
Remember to bring your donated
Door Prize to the club meeting.
Prizes need not be auto or Corvette related. Prizes should be usable and not
excessive in price…unless you want to.
THE CLUB SENDS ITS SYMPATHY
AS MEMBERS MOURN THEIR LOSSES
At
publication members Rose and Eric Leister are in Maryland making arrangements for the funeral
of Eric’s Mother. Her death
was unexpected so reality is difficult to grasp at this time. Please join me in prayer for strength
and acceptance for them and deliverance for her.
Earlier
this month members Connie and Don Magee had an opportunity for a last visit and
final “goodbye” to Don’s Step Mother. Though her death was a blessing it does
not lessen the loss. May God speed
her return home as we pray for them.
Remember
our members and their families in their time of need. Blessings!
CLUB HATS - Member Doc Romansoff can take your order for our club hats. They are available in an array of colors
and a bargain at $11! See Doc at
the meeting.
CLUB NAME TAGS – The purchase of name
tags is encouraged for all members.
Not only do they help us get to know each other’s names but they
are great during club sponsored events.
Need one? See Connie
Magee. Cost is $6 per tag.
She’ll need your name and city.
CLUB SHIRTS – A shirt order was placed on
Friday, May 16th. It is not
too late to get your order in this time around. Want a shirt? Call Dianne right away to be included on

It was reported the Headquarters for the celebration is the Holiday Inn
which is within walking distance to all events so the Smiths will check on cost
and availability of rooms there.
Regardless of where we stay we cannot reserve rooms until September 2008
so members need to be ready to make a commitment by that time. We would travel as a group and stop
overnight on the way down. Once
there, members can commit to all three days or whatever they want.
