President's Report  (September 2009)  Gidday, Well another month comes upon us, just as much to do and see, always something to do I say!  Great to see our new committee working together nicely and putting some good idea's and plans in place. We had a good day out at John and Jan Tait's, playing tennis, different games and having a huge luncheon as well as raising $240 for the Club.  Thanks to all those who supported the day and great to see some of our kids joining in with us bigger ones in having fun. The fund raising continued with "Blokes Day" on the 19th at Harris Automotive Services in Archerfield, can't wait to tell you what we found underneath some of the members vehicles.  Thanks to James from Surf City Garage for his support and Gary Harris for handing over the keys to his workshop. Congratulations to our 2 winning members in our big raffle, 1st Chris O'Shea, 2nd Bill Reeves, that was drawn at the September meeting, Brad tells me they were both thrilled. Thanks again to every current member who supported it. Performax donated a heap of parts to both Queensland Corvette Clubs for us to sell and so far we have raised $700 as our half of the sales to date.  More money !!!!  Looks like the Christmas party is going to be another good one!!! We have some great items to auction already at our 20th Celebration and if you have any ideas or items please let Brad or myself know.  Don't forget to book your room at the Park Regis if you are staying the night and let Sally know if you are attending.  Ali has taken quiet a few orders for special shirts for the evening so if you are wanting one contact her for details. Next year Perth is hosting the National Corvette Convention and are looking for members wishing to make the voyage out west to come forward early.  They are offering a 10% Discount for bookings made before November so it may be worth following up.  Sal has some entry forms if you are needing them.  Our club has donated $400 towards the  convention operating expenses as voted by our members at the last meeting. We have also voted that the Down Under Club host the 2013 Convention and Sally has forwarded a letter of confirmation with the suggestion that in Queensland we host the conventions alternatively between us. Like I say, "there's always something to do". Remember driving a Corvette is a reward, not a chore......Peter Turner
