CORVETTE CLUB OF MARION COUNTY
General Membership Business Meeting Minutes
July 2, 2025
PRESIDENT: Mike Stone
Mike called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. welcoming all members, guests, and future members. He reminded everyone to sign in, silence phones and stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
Executive Board Meetings are being held on the last Wednesday of the month, and all members are invited to attend. Breakfast is served at 8:30 and the meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. June was a busy month for the club. We had a great ride and day at Homosassa Springs State Park, ORF’s breakfast at IHOP, the cruise-into ice cream at Twistee Treat and the cruise-in to dinner at
Cody’s. If you have not signed up to volunteer for our car show November 8 th , please do so. We have so much fun meeting people from different clubs, those wishing to someday own a corvette
and surprising the young children with a hot wheel corvette of their own. Everyone has a story to tell, and we enjoy listening. The more club members who help, the less everyone must do to make the show a success. Following the show, members who have signed up and helped come together at Mimi’s for a bite to eat sharing their day, laughing, and having a good time.
