The
first
ever
Corvette
Legends
Club
Dinner
Cruise
was
hosted
by
George
&

28

plus
a
former

for
a
fun

George
read
highlights
of
the
minutes
from
the
initial
club
organizing
meeting
held
on
August
20,
2002
that
included
the
goals
for
the
new
club
that
we
have
stayed
true
to
for
the
past
two
decades.
From
the
meeting
minutes:
"...agreement
was
developed
on
the
following
general
types
of
club
events:
Dinner
Cruises- Especially
meeting
at a
pre-arranged
point
and
cruising
to a
restaurant
and/or
other
attraction
Fall
Color
Tour- Either
for
a
day
or
overnight
Car
Show- This
was
discussed
in
conjunction
with
the
possibility
of
soliciting
Lou
La
Riche
as a
sponsor. This
dealer
has
recently
hosted
a
car
show
at
their
Plymouth
Chevrolet
Dealership
Cruise
In- Various
discussions
about
evening
outings
that
could
be
organized,
to
include
“just
meeting
someplace”
to
planning
and
organizing
a
Corvette
Cruise
In
with
a
local
restaurant,
i.e.,
Central
City
Dinner
in
Canton.
Club Charity- It was basically agreed that we will, at some point in the future, choose a Club charity."
Paul
Jenkins
provided
additional
detail
on
the
club's
origins
and
the
development
of
the
club's
logo.
After
dinner,
George
presented
his
slide
show
“Back
in
Time”
with
wonderful
photos
that
26
of
our
members
submitted
showing
themselves
when
they
were
in
their
late
teens/early
20s
(a
number
of
examples
are
shown
here).
George's
narratives
about
each
“old”
photo
and
the
comparisons
to
the
members'
current
photos
generated
some
good
laughs!
As
the
anniversary
cake
was
being
served
Jan
had
everyone
tell
how
they
learned
about
and
joined
CLC.
As
we
all
lingered
afterward
everyone
enjoyed
more
stories
and
conversation
before
the
evening's
end.
Thanks
to
everyone
that
attended
and
made
this
a
very
special
evening.
