The August OCV Social was held August 15 at

The Tulsa Rib Company in Orange. It was

hosted by Larry and Nancy Ward. Thirty-five

members attended to enjoy delicious steaks,

ribs and other entrees. The group was able to sit

together in a small room, so conversation was

easy and the company was excellent. Everyone

had a great time. Many thanks to the Wards for

hosting the August Social.

What Were They Thinking? Three OCV couples recently told other OCV

members that they had travelled to see Brian

and Margaret Hoien at their new home in Utah.

But this reporter has learned that in fact it is

more likely that they were visiting an entirely

different secret location. With the photographic

evidence in our possession, no further

explanation is needed to see where Mark and

Rosemary Shearer, Tony and Vicky Siragusa

and Leo and Donna Mann were actually

spending their vacation time! Mark and Rosemary Shearer

NCCC NEWS The big change that will occur with this year’s

renewals is that renewing NCCC members will

not be receiving a membership card(s) and

packet in the mail as in previous years. Instead

each member will receive an email from NCCC

advising that their membership for 2018 has

been received and processed. A membership

card(s) will be attached to that email. It can be

printed or stored on the member’s phone

and/or computer for future reference. For those

members without computer access, their club

Governor will be responsible for getting the

card to each of their club members. New

NCCC members will continue to receive a hard

membership card.

Sideways Tour, Santa Barbara Joe and Barbie Orsini are hosting a Floating Fun

Get Together wine tasting trip to Santa Barbara.

If you are participating, you should already have

your room booked at the Sideways Inn in

Buellton. Besides the hotel room rate, the cost of

the trip is $5.00 per person which will be used

for a 50/50. The trip is a fun run, so you are not

required to drive your Corvette. Any make of car

is welcome.

The group will not caravan to Santa Barbara;

instead everyone will drive separately and meet

at a restaurant in the harbor. For more

information, contact Joe Orsini.

It’s Homecoming Time Again Conda Takanabe is coordinating the schedule

for the 2017 Homecoming fundraiser. She is

looking for members who can help. Conda will

be contacting schools to set up the schedule,

then she will send out emails with assignments.

What is this fundraiser? If you have a T-top or

convertible, you can help. We drive high school

homecoming princesses around the field during

football halftime shows on homecoming night.

Just bring a towel or mat to cover the passenger

seat, and a blanket for the princess to sit on.

OCV earns funds that go toward the club’s

donation to charity. You earn $8 per game in

Bow Tie Bucks toward your membership dues

for next year. The group goes out for food

before or afterwards. Halftime shows are always

fun and they are easy to do.

A Word From Janet Cherry:

Who Knew? Did you know …

• If 33 million people held hands, they could

make it all the way around the equator.

• You are born with 300 bones, but by the time

you are an adult you only have 206.

• Ketchup was used as a medicine back in the

1930’s.

Did you know?

• Vehicles made in 1953 were primarily

constructed of steel—this made the

Corvette’s innovative use of fiberglass a new

and exciting feature.

• 1979 was the highest production year for the

Corvette with 53,807 units built.

Changes to Club Charity For many years, OCV has made charitable

contributions to the Retinitis Pigmentosa

Foundation to help with the fight against

blindness brought on by this disease. The son

of OCV founding members Walt and Alice

Willard suffers from RP. The RP Foundation

was the passion of its founder, Helen Harris.

Helen and her children were also afflicted with

RP. Helen passed away several years ago, and

her son kept the charity going for a while after

her death, but now the organization has folded

and it no longer exists. This means that OCV

needs to select a new charity.

This need started conversation about which

charity to choose for future giving. If OCV

decides to continue giving to a charity for eye

diseases, there is a blindness group called

Foundation Fighting Blindness that has an

Orange County chapter. It supports research

that will provide preventions, treatments and

cures for people affected by retinitis

pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration,

Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of

retinal degenerative diseases.

Several members of the Board commented on

the fact that O C Vettes has lost numerous

members over the last couple of years due to

various forms of cancer. It was suggested that a

donation to some organization that supports

cancer research or treatment might be a

worthwhile cause to make on behalf of all these

loved members who are no longer with us.

The Board decided to open the discussion to

the membership. If you have a charity you think

would be appropriate to receive donations from

OCV, please contact a Board member and give

them the name of the charity and the reason

why you think it should be selected by the club.

Once all ideas have been submitted, the Board

will discuss the choices and the membership

will be called on to vote for the new club charity.

Palm Desert Trip 2018 The annual OCV Fun In The Sun weekend for

2018 is in the planning stages. The trip will be

held Apr 5-8, 2018. The group will stay at the

Inn at Deep Canyon. If you think you would like

to attend, you should call the Inn at (800) 253-

0004 to make your reservations. Be sure to say

you are with OCV. You can always cancel if you

are unable to attend.

The trip normally includes a trip or tour some-

where on Sat, as well as golf, shopping, spa

treatments, relaxing by the pool and lots of

great dining. If you have an idea for a Saturday

trip or if you want to help with planning, please

contact Carol Thompson, Nancy Ward or Jane

Wheeler to let them know. This is one of the

clubs traditional events and we want everyone

to have a great weekend.
