Prez Sez - Mark your Calendars!

February 26, 2025 I trust everyone is enjoying the wonderful warm weather as of late, I know

I sure am! The 2nd Annual Super Bowl Party in Larchwood, Iowa was held on Sunday, February

and a good time was had by all. Abdulah Delibasic won first place (second time in a row) for his

very tasty chili.

Plans are in the works for holding a seminar on the very simple things Corvette owners and

wives should be reminded of to make the Corvette driving experience more enjoyable during

one of the general membership meetings.

We will start by identifying the features included in the cab, entry, exit and common problems

associated with lock out, etc. things that come to my mind are:

• Wife stays in car, husband walks away with keys.  Emergency door latch by door sill.

• How to shut off the alarm if it goes off with and without the key fob

• Locked out, entry through trunk

• Key fob dead, recharge slot in glove box or steering.

If you have any ideas and/or suggestions for this seminar please send a text to Mike Skiles at

605-610-5791 or shoot him an email at: mskiles@midco.net

A Message from our Merchandise Committee:

Just a reminder to all SFCC members that we will be selling $20 Black Hills Corvette Classic

event tee shirt vouchers at the June 25th general membership meeting. This year’s shirt will be

offered in either yellow or blue and is being designed by our very own club member Cheri

Beyers! You are welcome to buy one of each color or multiple of each color even if you can’t

make the trip out to Spearfish, but we would love to see you out there. You may purchase your

$20 vouchers at our June meeting and then pick up your t-shirt at the merchandise trailer on

Wednesday, July 16th down at Jerry’s Corvette Center in Beresford. Buying a voucher from the

Club is cheaper than buying it when you register for the Black Hills Corvette Classic because

SFCC does NOT charge a handling fee or sales tax.

Just a reminder that 2025 dues are payable on or before April 1st.

If your 2025 dues have not been paid by the April 1st deadline you will be placed on the inactive

roster and will no longer continue to receive email “blasts” from SFCC.

You can pay your dues online at SiouxFallsCorvetteClub.com with your credit card. There is a

$5.00 charge for this method of payment.

Or you can mail your check to: Sioux Falls Corvette Club, PO Box 994, Mitchell, SD 57301.

Starting at the end of 2025 we will start following the by-laws of the SFCC corporation and dues

for 2026 will be payable prior to or at the Annual Banquet in November with a firm deadline of

December 31st , 2025.
