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!

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.
Hosts: Gary & Jean Brandt
July 9 Club Picnic 600th Meeting
The 600th Club Meeting is one for the record books of Valley Vettes' history to date. We have been in the local news cycle over the years, but not on such a grand scale as the National Corvette Museum provides to its 46,000 members and 360 ambassadors.

June 27 Tour at Classic Mechanics
Twenty six members attended Classic Mechanics presentation at their shop. They are interested in working with our club and providing expert Corvette advice and service to our members. Some of the highlights of their presentation are: They are considering having a "Corvette Corner" which would be devoted to our Corvettes. They are also considering carrying Corvette clothes and items for sale in their lobby store. They also expressed some interest in being included in some of our events. They went on to give our members a great tour of their shop and facility which held a wide variety of classic cars. Following the visit to Classic Mechanics, we enjoyed a Corvette cruise in the beautiful sun shiny weather to the Outpost restaurant in Sherwood. 20 members enjoyed the good food and socializing. Marty was good enough to take pictures of the event. Seems like everyone had a good time.
Hosts: Dennis & Ilene Carew

June 13 Appleton Flag Day Parade
The 75th annual Appleton Flag Day Parade was blessed with great weather. This year marked the 43rd year the club has participated in the parade. The 10 cars in the parade were decorated in patriotic themes and the people along the parade route let us know how much they appreciated the corvettes. The theme of this year’s parade was “Stars, Stripes, and New Beginnings” celebrating both the nation’s 250th anniversary and the 75th year of the parade. After the parade, we cruised over to Parker John’s BBQ and Pizza for some great food and socializing. We would like to say a “BIG THANK YOU” to all the members who participated in making this a great event. We also want to thank Parker John’s for providing great food and service.
