Our Corvette Club of Marion County welcomed the management team from Dillard’s to our Membership Meeting last evening so everyone could meet them. Timothy Gammack-Clark is the Store Manager, and Suzy is the Assistant Store Manager of our Gold Sponsor Dillard’s located in Market Street at Heath Brook. Dillard’s is an intrigal part of our club event’s and our All Corvette Car Show held every November. They give us permission to use their parking lot, give us discount coupons for all of the participants in the show, and have done special events for our members in the past. Tim has even modeled this year’s Show Shirt for us, as you can see in a previous post, and did it with a smile. Honestly, without the support of Tim and Dillard’s, we would not be able to have our show the way we want to have it.
We value and appreciate all of the support from Tim and Dillard’s and look forward to many more years working together. Thank You for everything !
At our Corvette Dlub of Marion County Membership Meeting tonight we welcomed Ed Williams, owner of our Gold Sponsor WickED Performance and Auto. Our Club President Mike Stone and Vice President Tina Farabee presented him with a Sponsor Appreciation plaque to thank him for all of the support he gives our club. Ed has many years of experience of servicing and repairing Corvettes for a dealership before opening his own business, and is known as the “Go-To” guy if you want excellent work from an oil change to a major repair on an engine. Several of our members regularly make the trip to his shop in Groveland Florida for any type of service they need on their Corvette…That speaks a lot about how good his work is.
Thank you Ed for your support and we look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come.
