We have a very full agenda for the upcoming membership meeting so it will start promptly at 7:30. In a make up for the meeting that got snowed out, Kirk Bennion will be our featured speaker. An excerpt from my announcement for that meeting : Kirk has been a leading figure in Corvette development. Kirk joined GM Design following 1984 graduation from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Since then, he's served increasingly important roles with each Corvette generation, currently assigned as Corvette Design Manager. We have 3 other speakers scheduled also. The Rally Sport Region of the Porsche Club of America has expressed and interest in some cross participation in events with us and spoke with the competition committee. They will be given a short time (as will all of these additional guest) to tell us about their track day and social events. If you have an interest in track days, they do an excellent job. I already have their fall color tour on my calendar. Larry Courtney will tell us of the pre-dream cruise Corvette activities he has planned. A full week for sure. Gary Drago will fill us in on the most rapidly growing show in Michigan, Back to the Bricks in Flint. In addition to all the other cars, they are anticipating 500 Corvettes for this gala. Also on my personal calendar. A footnote to these additional guests. I will bring a timer and limit you to 15 minutes. Please plan accordingly. The coffee pots will be full for this meeting. :-) thanks Fred. BTW, we are on a month to month volunteer basis to have the coffee and donuts picked up and Fred has been the sole volunteer this year. So I hope that someone else will step up for August. Our June and July meetings will be off-site. C U there Bruce
