PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 2019
Hello Members – I hope this newsletter finds everyone well and healthy.
Well we certainly had April showers, now didn’t we? Hopefully Spring is on its way
along with more sunshine and warmer weather. I am sure you are as anxious as I
am to get out and enjoy each other’s company with our vehicles.
The BOWLING GREEN PLANT in KY adds a second shift for the mid-engine
corvette production. The next generation C8 Corvette is in production with the new
mid-engine corvette to make its debut in July 2019. I have read a lot of good and bad about this new vehicle.
In talking with our VP, Dennis Langlois, it seems there are a lot of little and major flaws with this production
before it makes its debut. It will be very interesting to see, hear and possibly test drive this new creation from
Bowling Green, KY. On another note - GREAT NEWS!!!! Our sponsor PAUL MASSE has decided again this
year to hold off on a Vettetacular in June, and join forces with us the Corvette Club of Rhode Island and
support our show. This is wonderful news for the Club, because due to the generosity of our Sponsor we will
be able to give back more to our charities, Operation Stand Down and the Rhode Island Community Food
Bank. We should all be very excited about this great news. Our sponsor has indicated that once they receive
the mid-engine corvette, that they “may” be having a special event to debut the mid-engine Corvette here in
Rhode Island at his showroom.
We have our first big social on April 28th at The Coachmen Lodge hosted by our Madam Secretary,
Debbie Papineau and her husband Roger. This promises to be a great afternoon. We are visiting the
Veterans Museum first and then off to lunch. May 4th brings our Breakfast Social around the corner with
also a great turnout – this event is closed right now, but if anyone is still interested, please contact me and
I’ll see what I can do as we did have some Members back out due to other obligations. If you cannot make
this social, please do email me at [email protected] . I am looking forward to spending an enjoyable
summer with my Corvette family, I hope you are looking forward to the same. Our next meeting is May 7th
at 5:30 p.m. – it is our BOARD OF DIRECTOR’S PIZZA AND CRUISE NIGHT AT THE CHURCH PARKING LOT –
Pizza, Ice Cream, beautiful Corvettes and great people, sounds like a FANTASTIC MEETING TO ME – hope to
see you all there. Memorial Day Parade details will be coming up at our meeting. Thank you for letting us
know what seats are available for a Veteran at the Lincoln Parade. Peter DiBonaventura will be giving us
more details on that event. I believe a guest from our Sponsor Paul Masse will be attending as well.
Prayers for those Members who are going through life’s speedbumps, you are all in our prayers. Life
can be so challenging at times, that is why it is so important to love the ones you’re with, and enjoy every
single day that is granted to us. That’s it for now – thank you for being a supportive Member of our Club,
I can promise you the Board of Directors, the volunteers that support and work so very hard for our Club truly
do appreciate you. If I can be of any assistance at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me at (401) 369-
2881 or email me at [email protected] . Speaking of Emails – I apologize for the mass mailing to your
inboxes of a spam that apparently is happening. It appears, that someone out in PA has hacked our list and
therefore, each time I send a mass email it is followed by a spam email, with my name on it. Denny has
diligently reported this to the powers that be, and we are working on eliminating the issue. But please let
me apologize for any inconvenience, and most of all PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE SPAM EMAILS OR REPLY TO
ANY OF IT!
