Rick Gilbert
June 28-30, and we have ten
members so far that are bringing their
RV's to camp. We have room for more
RV's, just let Brian or Debbie know if
you decide to join us.
Hi everybody,
A lot of things happened last month. There were several car shows, cruises,
and events. I hope you took advantage of
them and enjoyed yourself.
Everyone else is welcome to come up on
Saturday June 29 to enjoy the day with
us. The event chairpersons will have
more information in their article.
We have several club events and non
club events coming up. Brian was also going to send out a flyer
with information about the bbq. It could
even also be in this newsletter.
The first one is The Lake Tahoe Corvette
Car Show on June 13-16. Several of our
club members are attending that show.
Debbie and myself will be going to that
show for the first time.
There is a BBQ planned for July 4th at
the Owen's after the Templeton Parade. That is all for now, hope to see you at
some of these events. Go out for a drive
and enjoy this fine weather.
In the last newsletter I told you about the
West Coast Bow Tie Bash on Oct. 12th at
Nojoqui Falls. There has been some
problems with getting it all together. As it
turns out, our club was the only club that
showed any interest in the event.
With respect,
Rick Gilbert
President rickgilbert63@yahoo.com
So, Bruce Fosdike has called off the car
show for this year. He is going to try to do
it next year. I would like to thank the
following club members who volunteered to help at Bruce's show: Carlos Vivas,
Gary McPherson, Chris Petrush, and
Dave Foltz.

On Saturday morning was the Show
and Shine where all the Corvette
owners voted on their favorite cars,
and about noon there was a fun poker
run through the beautiful Monterey
countryside, then a nice lunch at the
golf course.
We are still at 55 memberships.
Remember, if you encounter someone
with a Corvette who is not a member
of SLO Vettes, introduce yourself and
ask if they reside in the county and if
so, invite them to attend one of our
meetings.
Give them one of our
business cards (if you don’t have any,
ask Rick Gilbert for some), and
suggest that they check out our
website.
Then on Saturday evening was the
awards dinner where we all received
awards for our cars, or as in Rex's case,
for being the most fun guy there! There is
always something exciting happening
when Rex is around! It was a great trip
and a fun weekend!
Our next meeting is Friday, June 14th
at Hoovers Classic Cafe in
Atascadero.
The next event was the Estrella Wings
and Warbirds Car Show on May 11.
It is always a very nice show, and many
of our members have entered in the past.
We did not attend this year, but have
heard that it was pretty hot there that day.
Hope to see you there!

Hello Friends,
McPherson's, Surber's, Foltz's, and
Gilbert's.
This will be our first time to attend, so
we are looking forward to it!

a wonderful springtime!

Car Show on the 3rd through the 5th.
The five couples that went were; the
Ott's, Petrush's, Dallon's, Foltz's, and Gilbert's.
June 28-30 is our club camping
weekend at San Antonio Lake. We
have the required ten RV's that we
2
needed to get the kitchen/game room
for free. There should still be plenty of
sites left if you decide at the last
moment that you want to bring your
RV and camp with us. In case the

know if you will be doing that. Thanks!
be at Templeton Park at 6:30. We will
not have a food host this year. Please
bring your chairs and your drinks and
whatever you would like to eat, fast
food, food from home, etc. It will just
be a nice relaxing change of pace,
having our meeting out in the fresh air
at a beautiful park.
Even if you don't camp, we hope that
you will come up on Saturday for the
day! Come as early as you want and
stay as late as you want! Karl Williams
has graciously offered to BBQ the Tri
Tip and chicken for us.
July 13.......is still in the planning
stage. To possibly meet the Central
Coast Corvettes in Buellton to join
them for lunch. So far, we have seven
couples that have showed an interest
in doing this; The Vivas', McPherson's, Bravo's, De Simas', Dallons’, Ott's,
and Gilbert's. We'll talk with the other
club and send out an e-mail with the
details. If anyone else is interested,
please let us know.
We will need to know if you are
coming on Saturday, and will need
your check of $10.00 per person, by
June 17, so we can purchase the right
amount of food. We would also ask
everyone to bring a separate dish. All
the info will be in the flyer that Brian
will be sending out or that he has put
in this newsletter. It should be a real
fun weekend, or Saturday, playing
games, going for walks, sitting around
visiting, and enjoying a yummy BBQ! Please join us!
Have a great month! We hope to see
you around!
