February 23 American Legion Pizza Fundraiser
Susan Meyer and friend Sandy left WG&R Furniture lot in Appleton at 3:50 to travel to Fremont for the event. When we arrived, we got cocktails and a table. We were joined shortly by Steve & Sandy Bender. Pizzas were ordered and while we waited Ron Siebel stopped by to say hello. There was free popcorn while we waited and also a Quilt Raffle and bake sale, all part of the fundraiser. The pizzas were awesome as was the the good company and nice drive.
February 13 Spina Bifida Affair of the Heart
A great turn out for the Affair of the Heart for Spina Bifida. Fourteen members and 2 guests squeezed around our table to catch up with Steve & Sandy Bender and to encourage membership of our two guests. Not new to our group, Dick & Carol Rank’s daughter Sandy and her husband Tim just recently purchased a Corvette so obviously, we’ve encouraged them to join us at a meeting or a run and hopefully to join our membership.
Seemed like everyone bought tickets for the basket raffles. Kaphingst and the Garofalo’s were the luckiest, and went home with the most baskets!
Fun night of great camaraderie.
Thanks, Susan

Valley Vettes Christmas Party
Donated $573.00 To Pillars
Pillars provides shelter, support and solutions to address the housing needs in our community through a broad range of both crisis housing and stable housing services.
On Thursday January 22nd, we had a good turn out at the Old Glory Cafe in Kimberly, for the Valley Vettes breakfast. Eighteen club members attended, if my count was correct. As usual the breakfast there was great! There was good conversation and we all enjoyed each others company. It was good to get out of the house and spend time with good friends! Thank you to those who attended!
Hosts: Dale & Joyce
Valley Vettes Christmas Party 2025
The first Thursday night Valley Vette Christmas party on December 18, 2025 was a marvelous time at Van Abel’s in Hollandtown with 44 members in attendance. Socializing began at 4:30 with a scrumptious meal of broasted chicken, tenderloin tips and all the fixings at 6:00. Thank you to Marty Garofalo for the sound system and Gary Kaphingst for the slide show presentation. President, Sue Meyer, presented Certificates of Appreciation to those hosting numerous events over the past year. Newly Vice President, Gary Brandt, presented Sue Meyer with the Member of the Year trophy with Sue commenting she was truly honored. Entertainment this year were two games to test your memory – questions from the baby boomer era and what are these corporate logos. No one got them all right but many members came close. The silent auction raised $573 with two families outbidding each other to claim the little red corvette kid’s car. As the roads were getting a little slick, the night ended a bit earlier than anticipated. Overall, it was an awesome, fun-filled event with much laughter, many hugs and a night of memories.
Thank you from the committee: Gary & Joyce Allen, Gary & Jean Brandt & Sue Meyer.
Sue Meyer voted Member of the Year
