One member of our little "unclub" put it the best I think, when he said "If we can afford to drive these cars, we can afford to help others." How true a statement this is.
Our area recently experienced a heat wave that was uncharecteristic of June weather. A local radio station put out a plea for donations of electric fans that would be taken to Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers one meal a day to senior citizens who for various reasons are unable to feed themselves adequately. When I heard about this, it seemed like a great way for our group to help out. The email went out, please meet us for dinner and bring an new electric fan, some pet food, or a check. (Meals on Wheels also has a pet program to bring food for their recipients' pets. It was discovered that these elderly folks were giving part of their meal to what are their closest and possibly only companions, their pets.)
So this past Friday night the Carolina Vettepack met at the Olive Treerestaurant on Villa Rd. at N. Pleasantburg drive in Greenville, SC. We enjoyed Greek and Italian dishes and each other's company. Afterwards the club member loaded fans and pet food bags into our C5. (If you have been kind enough to read my previous posts, you know how much stuff you can cram into a Corvette C5!) We will get them delivered next week, because the heat is just getting started for this summer!
