SCSN Caravan 09 eNewsNo. 20 - 10/12/08>>>TOP STORY<<< >>The Stock Market Falls but the Caravan Soars<< Captain Linda Walker's Central Texas (CenTX) Section is the newest contingent of National Corvette Caravaners to join the 2009 Caravan's so-called "Southwest Group." In a joint announcement last Friday, Captain Walker (Central Texas), Captain Tuna Dobbins (Texas Panhandle/Oklahoma), Captain Jan Marshall (Arkansas/West Tennessee) and Captain Hib Halverson (Southern California/Southern Nevada) revealed that CenTX will join the other three Caravan Sections in Oklahoma City and be with the Group for the final two days of the trip. "This may make our Caravan 10-15% larger on arrival in OKC the night of the 31st and the more caravaners, the merrier," the SoCA/NV Caravan Captain told the eNews. "Our room booking team leader, 'Commander' Ron Cohen, has assured we four Captains that he has enough hotel space booked in Oklahoma City that night and for the following night in Little Rock, Arkansas for the additional crowd. It's possible, with the CenTX joining us, on the last day of the trip, we could have 750 cars. How cool is that?!" >>>OTHER NEWS<<< >>Tire Raffle II<< SoCal/SoNev Caravaner, Paul Benthuys of Long Beach, is the winner of our second fund raising raffle for the chance to buy a set of Goodyear tires for $750. "I'd like to thank Paul for his support of the Caravan by entering one of the fund raising raffles we hold in conjunction with one of our sponsors, Goodyear," Sherry Maples of the SCSN Organizing Team told the eNews. Tire Raffle III will be held sometime in November. Each raffle is for a chance to buy a set of any four Goodyear passenger car or light truck tires for $750.00. When we announce the start of each raffle, those Caravaners interested in entering it should email their name to "Commander" Sherry Maples at caravan2009@cox.net. When the raffle ends, one name will be drawn and that person gets the opportunity to buy the tires for $750.00. Once we receive the winner's check, we return to that person a certificate redeemable at any Goodyear dealer for the tires. All proceeds from these Goodyear raffles go into the SoCal/SoNev Caravan Organizing Team's Operating Fund. After the Caravan, any money left over will be donated to the National Corvette Museum. >>SCSN Section Continues to Grow<< Sherry Maples, the SCSN Organizing Team's Chief Financial Officer, tells the eNews that the last registration data received from the National Corvette Museum on 10/6, shows the Southern California/Southern Nevada Section has 292 Caravaners and 162 cars entered. Thanks for reading, Caravan info: email to captain.socalcar@pop.charter.net Going on the Caravan? Even new cars with less than 1,000 miles have paint blemishes from normal driving. Imagine what a cross-country trip will do to YOUR paint. The solution? A "Clear Bra". It functions like a traditional auto bra but is far more durable and cannot be seen. It will NOT scratch your Corvette's finish like most "strap-on" auto bras. This 3M Paint and Headlight Protection lasts for the life of your Vette. SCSN Capt. Hib Halverson used a 3M Clear Bra on the 2003 National Corvette Caravan and endorses it as the best way to avoid damage to the front of your car. Professional installations by the 3M factory-trained Installer in California most experienced with Corvettes: Envisage Design Labs.
