I believe the club is off to a great start This month. Club members got together at In-n-Out Burger to honor the memory of Ed Shaver. Members of the club are part of a family. It must be expected that we will lose members from time to time. We have never had a traffic fatality. Members of the club drive safely on the runs we schedule. Marcia and I look forward to new adventures and experiences with the membership!

It is essential that the scheduled runs for the membership are conducted with safety of the members a consideration. Also, consideration must be given to safeguarding Corvettes on the runs as much as possible. I urge members to use a locking device also known as the club. The best locking device locks steering wheel to the brake pedal. I use a club to lock my vehicles whenever I drive them, even if it’s just the grocery store.

Crime in the Santa Clarita Valley is up. I encourage Corvette owners to park their vehicles in the garage. A Corvette owner near my home reported that their catalytic converter was stolen. Never underestimate criminals, they are here in ever increasing numbers. I urge our members to also think about acquiring mace or bear spray for personal defense.

I also advocate using evasive action if someone is following you. There’s nothing wrong with driving to the Sheriff’s Station on Golden Valley. Sheriff won’t mind a bit.

The Board needs a Newsletter editor. The job doesn’t pay anything, but you will become a key player in the club. Some eighteen years ago my first job with the SCVCC was Newsletter editor. This is a twelve month commitment.Three months at a glance was sent out separately this month.

In all the years I have been in the SCVCC I have always received respect and help when I asked for it. Many members have motorcycles that they ride. So, if you have a motorcycle, you may find new friends to ride motorcycles with too.

The Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club is stronger than ever, so let’s have fun!
