Bug Juice Rally


It's time again for the Bug Juice Rally
 
This 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.

Rich Bertrand

Rich Bertrand
South Shore Corvette Club stepped up and did the Club proud with the turnout for our fallen comrade, Rich Bertrand's, wake and funeral. Our members really proved just how our club rises to each occasion. Rich's wife and family were overwhelmed when all the blue SSCC shirts arrived at the wake. They had no idea of how well liked Rich was with our members, and they constantly thanked us for coming.  On the day of Rich's funeral, 10 of our club Corvettes arrived to escort Rich to the church. It was very moving to see Rich's "Ruby Elaine" at the front of the line and the other 10 Corvettes following. Great job, SSCC.

We couldn't have asked for a better day. We all met at the Rockland Park & Ride for a cruise guided by Jim Johnson through the back roads of Hull, Hingham and Cohasset.

July 4th Parades

We had a terrific turnout for the Randolph and Stoughton parades. We were well received by the crowds. Lots of smiling faces. With our new windshield banners, everyone now knows the South Shore Corvette Club by name. We even got a nice write up in the Patriot Ledger. We had a scare with the weather and all the tops went up, but by parade time the rain had cleared and the tops came down, the flags went up and we were off the a cheering crowd.

After the Randolph parade we all went to the Outback Steakhouse for dinner and and evening of socializing.

Stoughton, MA Reported by Elaine Kemp
What a great response we had for our last-minute invitation to participate in the Stoughton 4th of July parade.  Yes, we had to scramble a bit to obtain enough Corvettes to make a good impression, but our SSCC folks came through!  Ten Corvettes participated in our introduction to the Town of Stoughton's annual parade on the afternoon of the 4th, and they loved us!! 
We drove single file along the parade route so our ten Vettes looked like 20!  Not only that, but quite a few of the people who were watching the parade had seen us in the Randolph parade the night before so we had our own fan club cheering us on.  It was a great time, and I want to thank all SSCC members who took the time out of this special holiday to make our first parade in Stoughton such a nice one! More pictures can be seen here for the Randolph parade and here for the Stoughton parade.

Shakedown 2008 Wrapup

Shakedown Cruise 2008–Success

Shakedown Cruise-Newport, RI

"Worth the wait..." that was the opinion of everyone that went on the 2008 Shakedown Cruise. Because of one of the wettest springs in memory, we had to postpone the May 4th event. The weather gods were on our side for the new date. We met at the usual Building 19 launch location with clear, blue skies. About 15 SSCC Vettes were present. Due to a conflict, our original leader, Jack Donnelly had to relinquish his duties. Joe Teamer and Rodney Collymore stepped up and did a great job of guiding us to Newport.

Our next stop was the service plaza on Route 24. Waiting for us were over 30 Corvettes from Eastern Mass CC and Corvettes United and more SSCC members. It was an impressive sight. After lots of picture taking, checking out all the Vettes and talking with the assembled crowd, we were off the our third meeting place.

We arrived at the Fall River Plaza to fine more than twenty Corvettes from the Cape Cod CC. We spent time chatting and took a group picture before departing on our last leg to Newport. You can download a high resolution copy of the photo
here.
Joe Teamer kept the speed reasonable for the long line of Vettes and we exited the highway in Tiverton to meander our way on scenic roads, past fabulous homes and beautiful vistas. Joe was always aware of the Corvettes behind him and he stopped anytime we had a possibility of loosing someone. Our final stop was the Atlantic Beach Club for a scrumptious brunch. Many members toured the mansions, shopped and visited the wineries.
You can see more pictures
here. If you have pictures you would like to contribute to the album, email them using the link at the bottom of any page.

Ron's Restoration

The weather was both good and bad. We met at Building 19 in a slow drizzle. Not the best of days for a ride to Fitchburg. Only Tom Meehan was brave enough to bring his Vette. We car pooled and headed for Joe's in Dedham, our next stop. The sky was still dark, but blue was showing in the west. In all, 13 of use made the trip. As we closed in on Fitchburg, the weather cleared. It was the beginning of an amazing day.
"Awesone... fantastic.... impressive.... unbelievable...." were the words heard as we toured Ron's Restorations. Ron Bunnell and his staff were the most gracious hosts.
Ron gave us an overview of his shop, their procedures, answered hundreds of questions and even provided us with lunch.
As we all explored his shop, we saw Corvettes in every stage of restoration, solid axles, midyears, and sharks. We learned that Ron is expanding into C5 and C6 performance upgrades along with his traditional restoration business.
After lunch and more poking around the shop we had to say our thanks and goodbyes. All of us that want on the trip wish to extend our sincerest thanks to Ron and his staff for a day none of us will forget. Check here to find out more about Ron's Restorations and here for more pictures.

Car Wash tour and Show

“Boys & Girls Club” of Marshfield Display and Car Wash Tour
Carol Santacross must have an in with the weather gods. After a spring of washouts, the display at the Marshfield Briteway Car Wash was both a meteorological and monetary success. The SSCC filled every available space to give car wash visitors a chance to see an array of beautiful Corvettes. Paul Vercollone and his staff organized the event along with Carol. Paul donated part of the proceeds from every wash done on Sunday to the Boys' and Girls' Club of Marshfield. This will help the club purchase a defibrillator.
We were given a private tour and explanation of both the touch-less car wash and the car wash tunnel. Paul explained the ins and outs of the car wash industry to us and answered many questions.

As a thank you to the club, Paul provided two Red Sox tickets to the club. We raffled them off with over $200 going the the Boys and Girls Club.
Afterwards, we drove over to the Luck Dawg restaurant in Pembroke. The Lucky Dawg is owned by SSCC Treasurer Jim Johnson's brother. We all sat down for more conversation and good food. With the weather still being perfect we all headed home after an enjoyable day. Thanks to Carol for putting together an enjoyable and valuable SSCC event. More pictures are
here.

May Meeting Wrap-up

She may have the title "At Large" but she is not large in stature... but she is really large in energy. To keep up our new tradition of feeding the membership at the monthly meeting, Eileen Casey volunteered to cook the club a meal. And what a meal it was. Pasta with chicken and broccoli, pot roast and potatoes. If that wasn't enough there were cannolis and Marylou's coffee for dessert.

After the sumptuous repast, Terry brought the meeting to order. We gave Dennis Grant his prize for the correct Trivia answer. Joe Teamer went over the details of the Shakedown Cruise and Joe Amante went over the parade schedule. Jim Johnson presented the Treasurers report.

John Dwyer reminded us about the upcoming Pasta Hop hosted by Eastern Mass CC. This is an all club event and not to be missed. Tickets are $20/pp and can be purchased from John or Mal Smith.

Eileen also had the Club Store open with many new items. Be sure to come to next month to check out all the great new SSCC clothing items.

We were all overjoyed to see Alan Kemp who is cancer free and Carmine Carlucci who just had successful bypass surgery.

Mark your calendar for June 26, our next monthly meeting.

New Cruise Night Location

New Cruise Night Location
The big new of the evening was the change of venue for our summer cruise night. After three years at the Abington Walmart, we are moving to the Monponsett Inn. Walmart asked the club to donate to their charity. The amount they were looking for far exceeds the annual revenues of the club. An emergency officers meeting was called to try to find a venue that had adequate and safe parking, bathroom facilities, electrical power for the DJ and finally, access to food and drink. We considered many local business and restaurants. Joe Amante made contact with the Monponsett Inn and not only would they permit us to use their parking lot, but they welcomed us with open arms. The owner is a Vette owner!
Please join us on our kick-off night, May 12. We would like to fill the parking lot. And one of the great benefits of the Monponsett Inn is a great menu and beautiful setting. Not quite sure how to get there? Click
here to get a map.See you there!

What do you like to do?

What do you like to do?
We asked and here is what you said. About two thirds of you filled out the questionnaire. As you can see, Cruise Night was the most popular activity that we sponsor. What this does tell us is that we have preferences but some of you like to do all the activities we listed. One of the important lessons from this is we can't expect every member to participate in every activity. And it also tells us that we need to have a variety of activities to cover all of our interests.
