Danny Green wins 2007 Corvette in Raffle

After a week of thunderstorms and flooding, Saturday, June 6, brought sunny weather for Foothills Corvettes’ third cruise-in. And it also brought out the cars–did it ever! Over two hundred original and modified beauties
built by General Motors from 1928 to 2009. The parking lot at Empire Chevrolet was overflowing
with beautiful examples of American muscle. Best of all, lots of money was raised for Ebenezer Children’s
Home, as all funds went to that organization. It had been months of hard work and planning by
Foothills Corvette, but it proved to be worth it. The weather cooperated and the turnout was great for a
great cause. Highlight of the event was the raffle of the 2007 Corvette convertible that the club sold tickets for. A total of 584 tickets went into the barrel with all buyers hoping their ticket would be the final one left in the
draw down.

Welcome to Foothills Corvette Club sponsored by Empire Chevrolet of Wilkesboro, NC. We are a group of Corvette enthusiasts who enjoy getting together for fun and fellowship and spending time in the driver’s seat of the “Great American Sports Car”. We are a non-profit organization holding several fundraisers throughout the year. Each December needy families and various organizations are presented the proceeds raised by the club.

We currently have members from Caldwell, Wilkes, Alexander, Yadkin, Iredell, and Catawba counties. Membership is not limited to these counties. We enjoy club rides on the third Sunday afternoon of each month. Rides are planned by club members and generally conclude with an evening meal. The club also has an annual Christmas Party as well as some overnight trips to various locations.

Quarterly business meetings are held in January, April, July, and October at various locations in surrounding counties. If you’re interested in joining our club please email us for more information or click here for an application. Initial dues are $31 for a single or $37 couple; this includes $6 each for name badges. Renewals are $25 per year.
 

For April’s social outing, the club met at Harold Mecimore’s and was greeted by Ben and Margie Hines. Mike Mays, Margie’s son, was introduced as the ride leader, while Margie and Ben went home to get the meal ready. There was a nice enjoyable ride along country roads, over a dam, and across Lake Hickory. The group then journeyed to Margie’s and enjoyed rib-eye steaks, baked potato, salad, and desserts prepared by Two Sisters Catering. Afterward there was entertainment by Tanner Mundy, who sang and told jokes. Bill Reavis was winner of the 50/50 drawing. Kendall Hendrix recognized former members Alex and Sandy Garcia, who were present. He also reminded everyone to keep promoting the cruise-in by selling tickets and distributing flyers.
