Prez Sez - A whole lot going on!
September 27, 2024
Hi, I hope everyone is enjoying the great autumn weather! We had a very successful Drive & Dine to the Hillside Resort at
Lake Madison. There were over 25 Vettes and a lot of people! Dave Rowe’s Last Call Band played even though Dave was in the hospital. He’s out now and doing well.
The general membership meeting on September 25th , the last one of the year, was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was great to have Jerry and Drew Barr there from Jerry’s Chevrolet. Jerry is the SFCC’s biggest sponsor and we appreciate his generosity. Please keep Jerry’s in mind when you’re looking for your next Vette or any other vehicle.
Regarding the Annual Banquet on November 9th ~ your RSVP must include a check for $30/person. You will get your uncashed check back when you come to the banquet. If you do not show up for the banquest your check will be deposited. We are stepping it up this year with the menu and offering either prime rib or boneless pork chops! Since there is a choice, please note on your RSVP check to Elaine what your meal preference is as it is VERY important we have a solid count for Tony’s catering. If you have already provided Elaine with a check, please reach out to her and give her your choice(s) either via text, phone call or email. Her phone number is 605-770-7672, email vcb1923@gmail.com. RSVP’s are due on or before October 31st because that is the day that we have to give a head count to Tony’s Catering.
Also, 2025 dues need to be paid by the end of the year. You can give a check to Elaine at Abdulah’s Lamb Feat or at the Annual Banquet. Or, you can pay your dues online at siouxfallscorvetteclub.com. There is a $5.00 service charge when you pay online. Another option is to mail your check to Elaine at: Sioux Falls Corvette Club, PO Box 994, Mitchell SD 57301.
As you can see by the calendar, we still have a number of events this year. I have also included the dates so far for 2025. We will again have 5 general membership meetings at Five Oaks in 2025 as well as other meetings and events.
Plans are being made for a club sponsored pancake feed at the American in January as well as a Super Bowl party in February. More information will follow.
Thanks for being a part of the Sioux Falls Corvette Club ~ as the saying goes, you come for the cars but stay for the people!
Save the wave!
