For 2015, the color of green is gone and orange is back. He also gave a summary of the features of the new Z06. Karen Forehand summarized an event she and husband Gary attended on May 16th to meet up with the nationwide C3-R run (C3 Registry) when they gathered in Door County with 23 cars participating from around the United States. It was a very well organized run and they met very nice people from all around the United States and Canada. A visit to a local winery and a fish boil were also well received.

Pete Beane suggested that the club should organize a “Trip Around Door County” (similar to the FondeVettes’ Trip Around Lake Winnebago). Wendy Cropsey asked for a round of applause for Gerard Rajek for his great job and dedication in keeping our website up-to-date. This task takes hours of time and the club greatly appreciates his fantastic job!
