Recognition Dinner, Monponsett Inn
More than eighty members attended the Recognition Dinner at the Monponsett Inn. It was a fitting end to the official Corvette season. As usual the staff at the Monponsett Inn provided great service and delicious food.
We were honored with the attendance of Liz Bertrand and her family. This year’s Rich Bertrand Award for Service to the SSCC went to Carol Santacross who continues to work tirelessly for the club. This year she again conducted the Garage Tour and the Bug Juice Rally. We all appreciate the hard work Carol puts in for the club.
All the members that have work on projects were recognized with a certificate of appreciation. This year, we changed the raffle and had numerous prizes, many donated by local businesses and our club members. We used to proceeds of the raffle to fund our cash donations to the local food pantries. Thank you to all who came to end the year in style. We look forward to seeing you in January at the next SSCC meeting at the Weymouth Elks.

Bug Juice Rally
Oct, 05 2009 SSCC News and InfoSSCC Events
It's
time again for the Bug Juice
RallyThis year's Rally will to be a little different from the last two BJRs. This year you must have a GPS and a digital camera. We have a few GPS units to loan out so don’t stay away just because you don;t have one. You will be given 6 or 7 street addresses to find by GPS. When you find the address, you have to take a picture of yourselves in front of that address. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it? The only catch is I'm not giving them to you in the same order...so your digital pictures have to be in the same order of your sheet. There is also a scavenger hunt, so you'll have some items to bring back, also.
There are some very interesting places for you to visit and, of course, a restaurant at the end. We need an approximate count for the restaurant and also for printing the instructions. So, even if you're not sure but think you might want to go please let us know.
We'll be meeting at 11:00 A.M. on Sunday, October 4 at Exit 5 off Rte. 3 South in Plymouth. There will be a drivers' meeting at 11:15, and the first car will go out at 11:30 am. Come and enjoy this year's Bug Juice Rally. Call Carol Santacross at 781 934-6455.

June Meeting Wrap-up
South Shore Corvette Club has become a club that should be the envy of many others. Every meeting, every gathering is attended by people who genuinely like each other and enjoy the club's activities. Our June club meeting was another example of what this club has become. Our "cookie night" was well attended, and the cookies were phenomenal. We were fortunate to have a master at pinstriping, Alex Olivera, show examples and explain the pinstriping procedure. Several SSCC members have already had Alex create unique designs on their Corvettes, and maybe we'll see more on our cars.
Bill Wenzel gave a rundown of the recent Wings and Wheels tour, and Elaine Kemp described the recent Back to the Beach weekend. Both events should be on everyone's to-do list. You'll hear more about these activities later.
Mal Smith had an enormous display of clothes and Corvette items that could be purchased on the spot. She also took many orders for more shirts. The ladies' shirts were a huge hit. This is the time to be sporting t-shirts and polo shirts with the club logo and perhaps your name. See Mal if you want something special, and you can also get in touch with her if you'd like the logo and/or name put on a shirt that you already have.

Ron’s Restoration
We made our second trip to Ron’s Restoration in Fitchburg, MA on May 30. The weather was marginal but a number of members brought out the Vettes for the trip. Our arrival was greeted with coffee and donuts provided by Ron.
Everyone
had a marvelous time wondering around Ron’s
shop, looking, dreaming, and drooling at all the
Vettes. It’s seldom we get to see so many
special Corvettes at one time. There was a
Baldwin Motion Vette, numerous big blocks and
fuelies, some near the end of restoration, some
just in the begining stages.
Ron and his staff were gracious and helpful answering the many questions asked by the members. Lots more photos can be seen here, thanks to Tom Meehan and his son Tim.

April Meeting Wrap-up
May, 01 2009 SSCC News and InfoSSCC Events
Wrap-ups
Fantastic!
That's the only word to describe our April 30
meeting. We had almost 70 people in attendance. There
were new members and even some who have been with us
for a while but who haven't come to a meeting. One
couple attended just to see what we're all about, and
they immediately became members. The SSCC seems to be
doing something right, and that has a lot to do with
all of our members. Strangers aren't strangers for
long when they attend an SSCC event. They are
welcomed by all of you and feel comfortable right
from the start.
The evening started with a pizza feast coordinated by VP Steve Boyajian. Following dinner, we were honored with guest speaker Roni Lahage, the Director of the Marshfield Food Pantry. Andy Wening introduced Roni and told of his trip to the Marshfield Food Pantry to deliver the Club’s March donation. It is best to read Andy’s own words to get a true feel for the impact this program is having on the communities.
“The
South Shore Corvette Club is to be applauded for
the fine work it is doing on the food pantry
project and I am so very grateful to have played
a small role in the success of this very
important project. My heart ached when I saw
first hand the recipients humbly accepting food
donations at the Marshfield Food Pantry. There
is such a need for this in my own community of
Marshfield and I never knew it until I
physically brought the food donations to
the pantry. I actually saw a Mom with her
children in a Minivan waiting for me to
leave because she was too embarrassed and feared
I might recognize her. Also, several elderly
folks barely able to walk, loaded food into
their cars because it was the end of the month
and their food had run out and they used all of
their government checks. It is truly
heartbreaking!”
Roni came to thank SSCC in person for our generosity with donations to Marshfield's food pantry. Beyond the thanking us, Roni provided information about the people in need of the state's food pantries. The figures are staggering. Our members have reason to be proud of the donations they make to help those in need in these difficult economic times.
The special election was held and we now have a new Officer-at-Large. Mal Smith was elected unanimously. She is returning to this position and will handle everyone's special order clothing items, as well as other Corvette-related goods. If you're looking for something that we carry or if you'd like to get an article of clothing that you already own embroidered with the SSCC logo or your name, get in touch with Mal. she can be reached here. We would like to thank Eileen Casey for her dedicated service as Officer-at-Large.
Thanks to Carmine Carlucci for the delicious cookies he provided for dessert. They were tempting for those who are dieting, but they sure hit the spot for all of us with a sweet tooth. Stay tuned for news on upcoming events. We have a busy Corvette season planned.

Callaway Day Wrap-up
Apr, 20 2009 SSCC News and InfoWrap-ups
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.Taxrun Wrap-up

SSCC's
annual "Tax Run", hosted by Russ and Judy
Erikson, was held on a very cool, but bright and
sunny, day. Twenty-two Corvettes were led to
Hull through previously unknown back roads. What
a gorgeous run! We had reserved tables on the
second floor of the Red Parrot restaurant in
Hull. The views of the water and beach were
unbelievable. The brunch was also unbelievable,
and there were many who went back for seconds.
Thanks, Russ and Judy, for a great day. We're
already looking forward to the 2010 run! More

Questions
Trivia Answer
This
month we started taking questions from the
previous month winner. Since Jack Donnelly was
our winner in February, he was on deck for the
question. Jack did not let us down and hurled a
100 mph knuckleball of a question at us. Looking
at the photo, tell what year C5 this is and why.
As you have probably figured out, the questions
where you identify a photo are tough mostly
because it is impossible to use Google to aid
you. We only received one answer and it was
correct. Here is Steve Bradford’s
answer:
It was 1997 and partial 1998. GM moved the fuel regulator to inside the gas tank in 98 and then only one feed line at the rail so there was no longer any need for 2 fuel lines at the engine. One being the main feed and the other being the return from the pressure regulator and fuel rail.

Winter, burrrrrrrrrr

Winter, burrrrrrrrrrr
We
have past that depressing day in late December
known as the Winter Solstice. It officially
occurred on December 21, 2008, at 7:04 am. That
was when to days stopped getting shorter. It is
the time when the reversal begins to happen and
we get gradually lengthening days and shortened
nights. I no longer feel like getting into bed
at 4:30 in the afternoon but I’m longing for an
8:30 sunset. I came across this
picture
and it
reminded me of one of my early Vettes. Mine was a
’58 that had seen better days. It was a daily
driver for me and probably every one of the
multitude of owners before me and the one after
me. But it was a Corvette, it was a 4-speed and it
was mine. Enjoy the winter. wl

December Trivia Answer
For December the Trivia Question Committee didn’t make it easy. It was tough because you could not Google the answer, at least not in a direct sense. This was the question: Below is a picture of a Corvette door handle. Based on what you see, what is the possible age range of the Corvette and most important, why?
If a larger photo would be of
some help, click on the photo and you can see a
bigger version.
We only had one correct answer form Russ Erickson! This photo is of a 1964 Corvette. It could also be a 1963. As Russ pointed out in his answer, the raised pad that the handle sits on is the giveaway. This was only on 1963 and early 1964 Corvettes.

Happy New Year!
We hope your holiday season was festive and relaxing. Most of our Corvettes are snuggled away for the long winter nap and our thoughts are elsewhere. Plans are already being made for activities next year. If you have suggestions, please contact any of the officers either by email, phone or in person. We not only welcome your suggestions but we rely on them.
By now, you should have received your dues renewal letter. Dues are due in January. Please renew early. And also, please fill out the short survey at the bottom of the letter and return it with your check.
Everyone that attended Eileen and Bill Casey’s dinner at the 99 in Braintree had a wonderful time. It was a perfect evening of talk and eat, the two things members do very well. Thank you Eileen and Bill!
