found this on the corveteclub site

Hi,

My name is Rich Taylor, President of the Corvette Club of America, and I want to welcome you to our home on the internet. I hope you find these pages easy to use and helpful in finding the information you are searching for in regards to your Corvette hobby or interests. I’d like to take another moment of your time and share a little history of our club. We are the world’s first and oldest Corvette Club, since we held our very first meeting on July 17, 1956. Back then our club members raced against other sports cars such as those that belonged to the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and the Porsche Club of America, so it seemed right at the time to call ourselves the Corvette Club of America (CCA).

We also were among the founders of the National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC) back in 1959 to promote interest in Corvette ownership, operation and knowledge about Corvettes across the country. With over 16,500 members and 269 clubs in 15 regions, NCCC is the largest non-profit, all volunteer Corvette organization in the United States. CCA has always been about pursuing our automotive passions and having fun with our Corvettes. There are many ways to accomplish this, and we try to do this by planning lots of fun activities that appeal to a broad range of interests. Our activities include social events, car shows, and racing events. Our social events include brunch and dinner cruises, and pool and holiday parties. CCA sponsors “Fun” and “Concours” car shows, as well as participating in shows sponsored by other clubs. CCA sponsors race events including an autocross primer class and also attends other club’s racing events, participating in drag racing, auto crossing, and circuit racing.

We are a non-profit organization and we like to give back to our community by donating to local charities. Among our current charities are the Wells/Robertson House and Hospice Caring in Montgomery County. In addition we sponsor a scholarship fund at the University of Maryland School of Engineering and are ongoing supporters of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The Corvette Club of America, Inc. encourages the ownership of Corvettes and provides the opportunity for members to exchange information and knowledge on how to best maintain and enjoy our Corvettes. CCA maintains a strong relationship with our sponsor, Sport Chevrolet. We gather once a month for a “shop night” where we help each other with light maintenance (such as oil changes) and technical sessions on maintaining our Corvettes. We usually end the evening by enjoying the company of our fellow members while eating at different local restaurants.

Our members are mostly from Maryland, Virginia, and the Washington DC area, however, we also have some “long-distance” members located in other states. Membership requires the ownership of a Corvette and a strong interest in Corvettes. Please feel free to check out the rest of our web site to learn more about us. We have a long and rich history, and we are always interested in hearing from others who love Corvettes as much as we do.

If you like to have fun, enjoy Corvettes, and would like to be a part of our historic club, then please consider joining us. There is a link to the left titled “Join the Club” which will show you how.

I hope to hear from you and see you soon!

Welcome to the Porsche Club of America

The Porsche Club of America celebrates the finer things in life. We desire the comfort of good friends and good conversation, and we praise to a fault the world’s finest automobile. With those attributes, our club has grown to 139 Regions throughout the United States and Canada.

We race each other, show our prized possessions, conduct rallies, autocrosses and tours. The Club sponsors driver education, restoration and technical sessions. We know our Porsche, or Porsches if we’re lucky, inside and out. We even have an award-winning magazine, Porsche Panorama, which tells our stories and provides an insider view to everything Porsche.

The Porsche experience reaches across the cars and the years to people, binding together the family whose name the cars bear, the men and women who design and build them, and those across the world who drive and cherish them.

We know the unbridled joy that a Porsche can provide, and we’ve built a community around that very feeling. The Porsche Club of America offers driving experience, technical assistance and camaraderie second to none. If you’re as obsessed as we are, join our club today. The road awaits.

If you’re not yet a Porsche owner and are actively looking for a used Porsche to buy, consider our PCA Quest program.
Mission

The Porsche has no equal, and since 1955, the Porsche Club of America has catered to the particular needs and interests of the Porsche owner. Our main mission is to heighten the Porsche owning and driving experience, which we accomplish by meeting a number of objectives:

To maintain the highest standards of operation and performance of the marque.
To establish mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche factory, dealers and other service sources.

Appreciate all the possible variations Plum, all of which are workable. Can everyone review and suggest changes so that I can present this to the board? I know I ask a lot, but if you folks don’t do this, it will fall to me and I hate doing much of anything. 😉

I sent them a copy of what we had last night at their request.
