October 21st, Wednesday - CCC Meeting in Naperville/Warrenville, IL
  • The October meeting will be packed with updated information about upcoming October and November events, including the Bowling Green Trip & Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals.  2010 Officer Nominations will be accepted and there will be items for auction and new trivia questions to answer.

October 24th-27th - Bowling Green Trip
  • The annual pilgrimage to Bowling Green Kentucky will take place on the weekend of October 24th.  I've you've never made the trip with the CCC you're missing out.  Time at the Indy track, in the Corvette museum, and a full day in the Corvette assembly plant.  A Corvette experience unlike any other.
