Hello Easton Area Corvette Club members and friends. The month of
July sure was a HOT!! one for sure with many of the days into the 90’s. Even
with the heat on, there were many events for the club members to take part in.
We started with our best Cruise since relocating to Forks Township. There were
over 125 vehicles and the weather was perfect for a cruise night. Let’s hope it
continues for our upcoming Cruise on August 6th. The club picnic on the 10th
was once again a great event starting with a nice ride up to Mauch Chunk Lake.
When we arrived there was plenty to eat for the next few hours along with great
socializing with other club members. A very big THANKS! to the committee for a
great Day. The club also participated for the third year with the Wheels for
Meals show. The total amount raised was a fantastic $8,200 which will be
equally divided between the Northampton & Monroe County Meals on Wheels
organizations. This was a fun day working with the other clubs all for a good
cause. There were several other shows and cruises and several members won
awards over the month of July. See the Victory Lane page.
Sunday, August 14th is our own car show “Vets for Pets” and as always
the more members we can get to help that day the better. Enough help is very
important to the success of our great show. As always, we also need items for
the Bake Sale, Tricky Tray and Door Prizes. It would be fantastic if more club
members were to pick up something for either of these. We take great pride in
our Tricky Tray and Vettes for Pets so please consider helping out. Our TV &
Tablet Raffle is doing better than last year but some of the club members have
not returned their chances so please get them back in so we can include them
in the pre-show sales. Everything is coming together nicely and from what Brad
tells me, we have over 110 Pre-Registered vehicles with 2 weeks to go before
the show. Even if you can’t attend the show, please think about registering your
Corvette anyway. You would still get the T-Shirt, Dash Magnet and the other
items in the Goody Bag if you are among the first 200 to register. You can find
the application in this newsletter and is also on the club web page. Remember
every dollar raised at Vettes for Pets is donated to The Center for Animal Health
and Welfare. I hope I see many of the club members over the next few weeks at
events so stay tuned for emails with details for the show and events going on in
the month of August. The list is on the next page as well as additional events
and shows on the club web page. Those of you who haven’t checked out the
EACC web page should take a look. Our web master Steve Jurczyk is always
updating the information as well as posting some very interesting information.
The EACC also has a Facebook page for those of you who are on FB.

My interest in driving cars instead of tractors started at the age of 15. I purchased my first Corvette
in 1988. It was a 1968 Candy Apple Red Convertible with a black interior that came from California. The
previous owner had it customized to look similar to the car in the movie “Corvette Summer”. My second
Vette was a 1992 Brilliant Red Pearl C4. I saw it at Carlisle and after a test drive, I purchased the car from
Duane and Marianne Mosher who I later found out are members of the Allentown Corvette Club. I wanted
a 50th anniversary car, but not in red. So in 2003, I purchased the anniversary model in Millennium Yellow.
I had that Corvette until I traded it in to purchase my current and favorite Vette, a 2012 Velocity Yellow
Grand Sport. Of my 4 Corvettes, this one is my favorite.
Here are the EACC members who brought home some awards from the July shows.
