KSCC,

Attached is our latest membership list. May 2008. Thanks Mary Ann Neilson for your help. Just a reminder that this Saturday May 10th is our first KSCC cruise at Ron's. We plan to meet at the far lot. I've also included a list of those who will be displaying their Corvette's at next months 32 Annual KSCC all Corvette Show at David Penske Chevrolet. We have around 20 pre-registered Corvettes so as usual we will be depending on members to participate. Last year including club cars we had close to 100 Corvettes. This year it would be nice to break that mark. Also this year we are awarding five KSCC Top 5 Pick Awards. Hope to see you there-it should be a good show. .......If you were not at the meeting but want to join us with your Corvette please email me back so we can have your window plaque made up and ready to go.

Thanks,

Ken

KSCC,

Thought you might want to see a few pic's of the Thomas Show. We had 4 KSCC cars representing our club plus a good number of our members came to the show to browse and keep the rest of us company. It was appreciated. There were 70 some Corvettes. Not bad for a show that was suppose to be a washout. Bob Z. took a first place with his very nice 73 and I took a Best of Show. We also signed up 4 Corvettes for our Penske Show next month. See you Tuesday.

Corvette will be the featured marquee and lots of Corvette activities during the weekend including Corvettes running the hill as they did during the '60's.On Saturday there will be a Corvette corral with Lance Miller choosing a Corvette for a special award. At lunch break all the Corvettes in the corral will tour the hill. That evening there will be a party where you mingle with the drivers and have food and drink for $30. Sunday there will be a Motor Show open to all cars, all years with special classes for the Corvettes. Once again the Corvettes will be running the hill. Entry for the Motor Show is $25. There is no spectator charge either day but Hershey will charge $10 to park. There are 2 day parking passes available for $15 before April 28. Also, if your club wants to attend as a group and promote your club, you can purchase 10 passes for $150 and you will have a 20' x 20' space assigned for a canopy or whatever to promote your club and have a gathering place.

KSCC,

Boy we are a busy club. The Red Rose in-a joint activity with CCND saw 68 members from both clubs. The weather wasn't the best but we did enjoy the company the food and Lance and Michele Miller. Saturday April 19th is the KSCC Poker Run. Tom, Mike, Mary Ann and Annette really put a lot of time and effort into this event-I hope you'll be at there at Shady Maple and join us on the 19th.Great event for a great charity. Any questions please call or email Tom Nelison at tgnman@comcast.net. Frank Dubeck also asked me to pass another event that wasn't mentioned at the meeting. This is Rott's N Vette's N Rods (hey I'm not making this up) Car Show at the Kimberton Fairgrounds the next day-Sunday April 20th 9-3. This is a great show with some very nice Corvettes and Hot Rods. Last year we had a good number of KSCC members both enter their cars or stop by to shoot the breeze and take in the show. Greg ha s posted this event on our calander of events along with the flyer-thanks for picking up on this event Greg. Check it out and I hope to see you at both events.

Thanks,

Ken

Final installment on installing a parking lift in a garage. This installment covered the installation of a jackshaft garage door opener. See Tech Tips Parking Lift installation.

Nice club turn out for the first event of the year. We raised $473.00 for MDA. Had 40 Corvettes.

New tech Tip pages were added. This will be a great place to share our special tips. We will have simple monthly tips as well as more extensive articles of interest.

The new KSCC plates were received in time for Christmas. Nice present. They look great on the car. You can see mine on the KSCC plate page.

I thought I would share an update about the progress of Ally Heintz, the 2007 Corvettes for Kids, Inc. spokes child. You will recall that 3 ½ year old Ally had a stomach, liver, small bowel and pancreas transplant on 7/29/07, just before the CFK show. She has had many ups and downs but the latest information as to her situation is very promising.

We are definitely on the launching pad to have Ally discharged. I think Ashley (her sister) is the most excited. She even asked me if I could send a note to school saying that Ally will be coming home soon. She and some of her classmates worked on a welcome home banner for Ally J Ally is looking great and we just need to get a few more things taken care of and we should be good to go. . . . keep checking in for the official word that we are home!

14 plates are now on orded for members. Between the sale of the sample plates and the $20 club fee we already paid off the design cost and are well on our way to raising additional money for the club.

See KSCC Plate link on the left for a\a copy of the application and instructions for ordering your plate. Remember you don't have to restrict their use to your Corvette, you can put them on your daily drivers. They can be put on any automobile, truck or motor home with a gross vehicle weight below 9,000 lbs.
