Wrap-ups
Tax Run Wrap-up
May, 09 2010
Tax Run Wrap-upRuss and Judy couldn’t have planned a more perfect event. The weather cooperated and we are hoping that this is just the beginning of a great 2010 SSCC event schedule.
We met at the Rockland Park and Ride and close to 20 Vettes made it out for the 2010 kickoff. Our meandering ride over to Hull took us through Norwell, Hingham, Scituate and Hull. Russ and Judy picked scenic back country roads that make the South Shore such a paradise. Russ stopped many times to keep us all together and we all made it to the Red Parrot in Hull for a Jazz Brunch. Some of our members wore a path in the carpet going back for seconds, thirds and yes, even forth helpings.
Now that you have had the Vette out for a little leg stretching, a great meal and lots of talking over brunch, you can go back to the calculator and the box for receipts.

June Meeting Wrap-up
South Shore Corvette Club has become a club that should be the envy of many others. Every meeting, every gathering is attended by people who genuinely like each other and enjoy the club's activities. Our June club meeting was another example of what this club has become. Our "cookie night" was well attended, and the cookies were phenomenal. We were fortunate to have a master at pinstriping, Alex Olivera, show examples and explain the pinstriping procedure. Several SSCC members have already had Alex create unique designs on their Corvettes, and maybe we'll see more on our cars.
Bill Wenzel gave a rundown of the recent Wings and Wheels tour, and Elaine Kemp described the recent Back to the Beach weekend. Both events should be on everyone's to-do list. You'll hear more about these activities later.
Mal Smith had an enormous display of clothes and Corvette items that could be purchased on the spot. She also took many orders for more shirts. The ladies' shirts were a huge hit. This is the time to be sporting t-shirts and polo shirts with the club logo and perhaps your name. See Mal if you want something special, and you can also get in touch with her if you'd like the logo and/or name put on a shirt that you already have.

Callaway Day Wrap-up
Apr, 20 2009
South Shore Corvette Club's sponsor, Corvette Mike, held its first "Callaway Day" on Saturday, April 18, 2009, featuring the famous Reeves Callaway with one of his Callaway Corvettes. Those who met and spoke with Reeves all agree that he is a true gentleman and passionate about the Callaway Corvettes. There were quite a few men, and our own JoAnne Horigan, who had pre-registered to ride in the Callaway. What a surprise they all experienced when not only did they ride in it, but they also got an opportunity to drive it! It was a great day and especially nice to see so many of our Corvette friends from all over Massachusetts and beyond after our long, cold winter. More pictures can be seen here.March Monthly Meeting Wrap-up

Quincy Christmas Parade Wrap-up
The weather was supposed to remain fairly good with precipitation not to arrive until late in the day so twenty of South Shore Corvette Club's Corvettes made their way to the staging area in Quincy. Lo and behold, the forecasters were wrong, and the drizzle and then freezing rain turning into freezing snow came in early, even before the parade began. That didn't deter our members, however, and all twenty Corvettes fell into line and the parade began. Read More...

Garden Party Wrap-up
We couldn't have asked for a better day. We all met at the Rockland Park & Ride for a cruise guided by Jim Johnson through the back roads of Hull, Hingham and Cohasset. The views from Atlantic Avenue and Jerusalem Road were spectacular. We finished up at Jim's home in Hanover. As always, Jim's back yard was spectacular. The food was plentiful and delicious.
We had new members in attendance, Larry Vincent with his burgundy 454 '73 coupe and Gerry and Frank Hill with their '05 black coupe.
There are more photos here. We all wish to thank all the members that brought side dishes and Jim for a great cruise and cookout.

July 4th Parades
Jul, 14 2008
We had a terrific turnout for the Randolph and Stoughton parades. We were well received by the crowds. Lots of smiling faces. 
With our new windshield banners, everyone now knows the South Shore Corvette Club by name. We even got a nice write up in the Patriot Ledger. We had a scare with the weather and all the tops went up, but by parade time the rain had cleared and the tops came down, the flags went up and we were off the a cheering crowd.
After the Randolph parade we all went to the Outback Steakhouse for dinner and and evening of socializing.
Stoughton, MA Reported by Elaine Kemp
What a great response we had for our last-minute invitation to participate in the Stoughton 4th of July parade. Yes, we had to scramble a bit to obtain enough Corvettes to make a good impression, but our SSCC folks came through! Ten Corvettes participated in our introduction to the Town of Stoughton's annual parade on the afternoon of the 4th, and they loved us!!
We drove single file along the parade route so our ten Vettes looked like 20! Not only that, but quite a few of the people who were watching the parade had seen us in the Randolph parade the night before so we had our own fan club cheering us on. It was a great time, and I want to thank all SSCC members who took the time out of this special holiday to make our first parade in Stoughton such a nice one! More pictures can be seen here for the Randolph parade and here for the Stoughton parade.

Shakedown Cruise 2008–Success
Shakedown Cruise-Newport, RI
"Worth the wait..." that was the opinion of everyone that went on the 2008 Shakedown Cruise. Because of one of the wettest springs in memory, we had to postpone the May 4th event. The weather gods were on our side for the new date. We met at the usual Building 19 launch location with clear, blue skies. About 15 SSCC Vettes were present. 
Due to a conflict, our original leader, Jack Donnelly had to relinquish his duties. Joe Teamer and Rodney Collymore stepped up and did a great job of guiding us to Newport.
Our next stop was the service plaza on Route 24. Waiting for us were over 30 Corvettes from Eastern Mass CC and Corvettes United and more SSCC members. It was an impressive sight. After lots of picture taking, checking out all the Vettes and talking with the assembled crowd, we were off the our third meeting place.
We arrived at the Fall River Plaza to fine more than twenty Corvettes from the Cape Cod CC. We spent time chatting and took a group picture before departing on our last leg to Newport. You can download a high resolution copy of the photo here.
Joe Teamer kept the speed reasonable for the long line of Vettes and we exited the highway in Tiverton to meander our way on scenic roads, past fabulous homes and beautiful vistas. Joe was always aware of the Corvettes behind him and he stopped anytime we had a possibility of loosing someone. Our final stop was the Atlantic Beach Club for a scrumptious brunch. Many members toured the mansions, shopped and visited the wineries.
You can see more pictures here. If you have pictures you would like to contribute to the album, email them using the link at the bottom of any page.

Ron's Restoration
Jun, 23 2008
The weather was both good and bad. We met at Building 19 in a slow drizzle. Not the best of days for a ride to Fitchburg. Only Tom Meehan was brave enough to bring his Vette. We car pooled and headed for Joe's in Dedham, our next stop. 
The sky was still dark, but blue was showing in the west. In all, 13 of use made the trip. As we closed in on Fitchburg, the weather cleared. It was the beginning of an amazing day.
"Awesone... fantastic.... impressive.... unbelievable...." were the words heard as we toured Ron's Restorations. Ron Bunnell and his staff were the most gracious hosts.
Ron gave us an overview of his shop, their procedures, answered hundreds of questions and even provided us with lunch.
As we all explored his shop, we saw Corvettes in every stage of restoration, solid axles, midyears, and sharks. We learned that Ron is expanding into C5 and C6 performance upgrades along with his traditional restoration business.
After lunch and more poking around the shop we had to say our thanks and goodbyes. All of us that want on the trip wish to extend our sincerest thanks to Ron and his staff for a day none of us will forget. Check here to find out more about Ron's Restorations and here for more pictures.

Jun, 23 2008
“Boys & Girls Club” of Marshfield Display and Car Wash Tour
Carol Santacross must have an in with the weather gods. After a spring of washouts, the display at the Marshfield Briteway Car Wash was both a meteorological and monetary success.
The SSCC filled every available space to give car wash visitors a chance to see an array of beautiful Corvettes. Paul Vercollone and his staff organized the event along with Carol. Paul donated part of the proceeds from every wash done on Sunday to the Boys' and Girls' Club of Marshfield. This will help the club purchase a defibrillator.
We were given a private tour and explanation of both the touch-less car wash and the car wash tunnel. Paul explained the ins and outs of the car wash industry to us and answered many questions.
As a thank you to the club, Paul provided two Red Sox tickets to the club. We raffled them off with over $200 going the the Boys and Girls Club.
Afterwards, we drove over to the Luck Dawg restaurant in Pembroke. The Lucky Dawg is owned by SSCC Treasurer Jim Johnson's brother. We all sat down for more conversation and good food. With the weather still being perfect we all headed home after an enjoyable day. Thanks to Carol for putting together an enjoyable and valuable SSCC event. More pictures are here.

May Meeting Wrap-up
Jun, 19 2008
She may have the title "At Large" but she is not large in stature... but she is really large in energy. To keep up our new tradition of feeding the membership at the monthly meeting, Eileen Casey volunteered to cook the club a meal. And what a meal it was. Pasta with chicken and broccoli, pot roast and potatoes. If that wasn't enough there were cannolis and Marylou's coffee for dessert.
After the sumptuous repast, Terry brought the meeting to order. We gave Dennis Grant his prize for the correct Trivia answer. Joe Teamer went over the details of the Shakedown Cruise and Joe Amante went over the parade schedule. Jim Johnson presented the Treasurers report.
John Dwyer reminded us about the upcoming Pasta Hop hosted by Eastern Mass CC. This is an all club event and not to be missed. Tickets are $20/pp and can be purchased from John or Mal Smith.
Eileen also had the Club Store open with many new items. Be sure to come to next month to check out all the great new SSCC clothing items.
We were all overjoyed to see Alan Kemp who is cancer free and Carmine Carlucci who just had successful bypass surgery.
Mark your calendar for June 26, our next monthly meeting.

Fortunately, the weather held off and no rain for the cruise. The Monponsett has a elaborate Sunday brunch including an Omelet station. No one left hungry. Thanks to Russ and Judy for a great outing.

First of all, Thank you to Carmen for a beautiful Ice Cream run after our business meeting on Thurs.
I know this is short notice about the upcoming Cliff Walk for ALS sponsored by the Cape Cod Corvette Club this coming Sunday Sept. 9th in Bourne. They would like us to participate in their Corvette Display as part of the festivities. They would like the Corvettes to be in place by 9:00 a.m. so if we were going to meet someplace (I haven't got that far yet) then it would have to be at 8 or 8:30. I'll get back to you all next week.
