President�s Message Hello VTV Members, It looks like Home Motors has agreed to sponsor us again this year. This is great news and we certainly appreciate it. Let�s continue to bring business to Home Motors. As of this writing, we continue to work on finding a venue for our NCCC annual event scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2009. We hope to be able to finalize this very soon so that we can get our flyer out. Also, the run to Ragged Point on Saturday, March 21, 2009, with our SLO Vettes brethren was such a blast. They have been doing this run for the past 15 years. This is apparently their big event of the year and it showed from the participation they had. It was so awesome to see so many Corvettes on the road. Once, we got there the view was spectacular. I like the fact that we continue to develop a good rapport with this club Who says that we don�t do fun things. Our next upcoming event, is the mystery run that is being hosted by Charlie and Joan Perry on Saturday, April 4th. More details will be forthcoming. Not to be outdone by the Perrys, Carlos and Sherry Vivas are hosting a car clinic and BBQ at their home on Saturday April 18th. Check out the flyer in this newsletter for more details.

Save the Wave! Gale Haugen
