Auto Trim DESIGN® is proud to once again serve as a drop-off location for the Coats for Kids donation drive!
From September 28 through October 29, we will be collecting new and gently used coats in all sizes. Please feel free to share this with friends and family who may also wish to donate.
Because of the July 27 tornado and the losses experienced by so many local families, The Salvation Army anticipates an especially high need for coats this year. Every donation will help keep someone in our community warm this winter.
Thank you for your generosity and support!

Hot Wheels Donations
Thank you to all Valley Vette members who participated in the NCM Hot Wheels drive. The response was phenomenal and will help many children through the NCM STEAM program. Your donations have made a real impact, and the NCM has recognized your generosity.
It is wonderful to see the cars we donated lined up on the table for each child to choose from.
What a great photo!
Sincerely,
Mark & Lainie
Members,
Diane Blessing asked that I remind everyone that the deadline for collecting toys will be this Thursday unless you make arrangements to deliver them to the Blessings at their home. New toys should be donated unwrapped in original package.
November 10 LaClare Family Creamery
We had a wonderful outing today at the LaClare Family Creamery on Road HH in Malone, WI. It was a beautiful, bright, and sunny drive to the event, and we even saw goats in the pasture behind the main buildings.
The Café opened at 10:00am, and our group included 5 members plus 2 guests (my special friends and neighbors who rode with me). The Café was well-lit and featured blue ribbons on the shelves in the main area. Upstairs, the hallway was lined with plaques, leading to a very large room decorated for the holidays that could easily seat twenty or more people. We also enjoyed the huge viewing windows overlooking the cheese factory, which was busy in full operation from every angle.
The food was good, and the service was great. I truly appreciate the members who attended this event.
Thank you, and Happy Veterans Day tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Host: Sharon Ziegler
November 1 Supper at Van Ables
We had a group of 29 members and 2 guests (Jim & Cindy Reffke, friends of Susan's) and quite a few CORVETTES, gather for drinks and supper at Van Abels in Hollandtown. 6 people were lucky enough to have a lottery ticket under their plate to start off the meal! Family Style "All You can Eat" Broaster Chicken Dinner was enjoyed by all. We are hoping to see the Reffke's become members, at our next meeting, please make them feel welcome.
Host: Susan Meyer
October 20 Breakfast
Corvettes and coffee at the Weathervane in Menasha.

We had to feature Dean as both those plates were what he ordered. He did take some food home.

October 4 Club Birthday Dinner Cruise
Members Gary & Lyn Kaphingst, Lance Zuleger and Elaine Ven Rooy hosted the Valley Vettes Birthday Party Cruise from Darboy Plaza to Altona Restaurant in New Holstein
The Sunday brunch was FREE, courtesy of the Club.
A total of twenty four cars went on the cruise with two additional cars joining the group at the restaurant, for a total of 46 members. After the brunch, a few prizes were awarded for the most correct answers to the questionnaire distributed before the cruise. Donations from Mark’s East Side Restaurant and Cooney’s Embroidery & Sportswear were among the prizes awarded. (Both establishments are among our sponsors, so patronize them if possible.)
Thank you to the attendees who traveled the 43 miles on a sunny day; 43 coincidentally being the number of years that Valley Vettes has been a Club. Happy 43rd Birthday to us!
September 13 Early Fall Dinner Cruise
Sixteen cars left the Darboy Plaza for a short cruise that ended up at Maloney's outside of Kaukauna. We had our own dining area with a bar and TV (Packer game). The food was very good. Then we took a short ride to Two Guernsey Girls Creamery in Freedom for ice cream. Homemade ice cream products. YUM! Thanks to all who made the ride with me.
Host: Phil Gross
September 24 Breakfast at Mama D's
It was a beautiful-sunny-fall Thursday when 30 corvette enthusiasts met at Mama D's in Freedom for a scrumptious breakfast. Mama D (Donna) and her entire staff were very accommodating for our extra-large group that included long time members Dick and Carol Rank. We all were served quickly with our favorite foods, coffee cups continuously filled and some with leftovers to take home for another day.
Delightful conversation took place among the long line of tables as we all caught up on the latest happenings with our friends.
Thanks to all who attended.
