Tax Run Wrap-up
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.
The Big Texas B-B-Q was held on Tuesday March 24, at the Mill Wharf. A big thanks to our resident chef Carmine Carlucci for a delicious spread of spicy chili, baked beans, coleslaw, cornbread, B-B-Q chicken, the meatiest spareribs you have ever seen, spicy potato wedges, cookies, and watermelon. We had a huge turnout and everyone needed to loosen the belt at least one notch.
November, it marks the end and the beginning of so many things. It’s the end of the warm days we love and the beginning of the holidays. At the SSCC, it is the end of the formal functions that the club sponsors. Read More...
The July 31st meeting was held at Bill and Eileen Casey's home in Norwell. We had a huge turnout and everyone had plenty to eat. There were many conversations and friends caught up on what everyone was doing for the summer. Terry brought the meeting o order and we took a moment to reflect on the passing of our fellow member, Rich Bertrand. New member introductions were made. Thank you all for the great turnout and a huge thank you to Bill and Eileen for graciously hosting the meeting. See you all next month. There are more photos of our July meeting here.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
Ron gave us an overview of his shop, their procedures, answered hundreds of questions and even provided us with lunch.
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.
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.
