Brunch with Barry Hi Everyone,

This month 21 members cruised to CJ Cannon’s restaurant at the Vero Beach Airport. The weather was

cloudy and it sprinkled on the way to Vero and the corvettes survived. The service and food were very

good and the food came out very fast.

Great Friends and Cars, Life if Good.

(continued from page #1) o New Business:

▪ A decision was made by the board that the Thanksgiving Dinner and Holiday party will be cancelled

for this year.

▪ Board did agree, that when SCC activities resume, we would have additional events at the two restaurants

Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House and Shuckers for their cooperation with the cancellation of SCC events.

▪ Thanksgiving Food Drive:

• Normally, during the Thanksgiving dinner party we have a food collection which is more important this year

than ever. The board decided that we would have a voluntary member “mental health drive” on November

15th this year and stop at a designated area with food contributions by participating members.

▪ Toys for Tots:

• Discussions with Wallace Chevrolet will occur in the next two weeks to decide how we proceed. The SCC

board is in support of another voluntary member “mental health drive” on December 6th from a designated

area to Wallace Chevrolet to drop off toys or donations for the toys for tot’s charity. Wallace Chevrolet in the

support of our club normally contributes and has committed to contribute $500.00 for this wonderful charity.

We are asking members to contribute a minimum of $30.00 in either toys or cash.

▪ The above two mental health drives info:

• Attendance at these two events are voluntary and at your own risk.

• Members attending these two events are responsible to maintain their own social distancing and are asked to

wear masks.

• These two events will not be SCC sponsored events but voluntary charity drives.

▪ Board also agreed that all the other SCC events are cancelled through January 2021.

▪ SCC club supports the yearly homecoming parades with members driving students or dignitaries during

the parade. Since these events have been cancelled, participation by SCC members will not be necessary.

▪ National Corvette Museum (“NCM”) has informed me that Barry Bracken’s memorial Brick has now

been placed.

• Once it is safe, SCC will organize a NCM cruise to view the memorial Brick for anyone that would be

interested in attending.

The Board members and I will continue to be in contact by phone and email on how to go forward.

The next SCC Board meeting will be held on January 16, 2021. In the meantime, I will email any further

information regarding the two voluntary mental health drives as soon as they are developed.

In summary, I ask for your continued support and understanding for these are unprecedented times and the

safety of our membership and their families comes first.

All the best and stay safe.

I know you heard this before but this is a good

time to change your cabin air filter. Changing the

cabin air filter every 12 months or sooner ensures

good air quality and improves the vehicle's

heating and cooling performance. Some types of

cabin air filters also eliminate odors, so fresh air

flows throughout the vehicle's cabin. While you

are doing that get in the habit to check your

engine air filter at the same time. Good luck in

this time of need.

Club members Karl and Kathy Sterner are the

proprietors of ASK Auto, which is a Corvette

service facility in Port Saint Lucie.

For service call 772-335-0420.
