	Happy Birthday Diane Wiggins from Pachyderm Member, “Lisa”... It;s a long story... but yes, we do have a Corvette loving elephant in the club!


	Some are more enthusiastic about it than others...


	AMLS at Laguna Seca - Monterey, CA. It’s right in our backyard so we try not to miss a year to support our C5R and C6R Team(s)




	A weekend of Romance on our Valentines Run...




			Our annual progressive dinner...

	We do get out of the Vettes every now and then to try something different...

A Birth in the Family:

Jeff and Cookie Verbet take possition of their mint condition 1998 REAL Pace Car.

Jeff has promised to keep the car safe for a short time and then gift it to Charlie Sammut (his best friend and patient) in the near future...

What a sport!!!


	*Presidents Run - Black Hawk Museum May 2005*


MPCC Cars at Black Hawk Museum - It’s been a long time since we’ve been to the museum and upon their return, all who attended agreed that it should and probably will become an annual run.

		*Corvettes to Tahoe - June 2005*



	above: Attendees... 6 out of the eight MPCC members who attended this run (not a bad turn out for a weekend overnight run to an event we’ve never attended before) with Wendell Strodes (3rd from left) executive director of the National Corvette Museum - NCM. Anyone who knows Corvettes knows the museum and anyone who knows the museum, knows Wendell and the tremendous impact he had on it’s survival! Meeting Wendell and chatting with him was an honor. It was refreshing to realize what a great guy he really is.


	It seemed like no matter where you parked at this show, it was a picturesque moment... even in our hotel parking lot...




		The venue for 2006 was announced to be a casino in Tahoe which everyone was very excited about.




		Over 150 cars signed up but probably closer to 200 corvettes.




		Cassie by the way is a true “Corvette dog” with her own web page Click here to visit Cassie’s page as well as the rest of Del’s site. Too COOL!


Members Charlie and Heather visit with Del Bunce (far left), also on the board of directors for the NCM. Del promised to sell that pace car and matching trailer to Charlie one day... The C5R mini on the left is modified by Del with remote control handling and transport his dog, Cassie (in Heather’s arms) around the show.


	All in all, we felt this event was worthy of our return in 2006. It’s a smaller grass roots event that will no doubt become something much larger in the future! The hard work and dedication of the Lake Tahoe Corvette Club is very apparent and deserving of praise for it is obvious that they all worked very hard to make this event what it was.


	A dream becomes a Reality...

		Scroll up and you saw where Jeff bought this 1998 Pace Car and (jokingly) promised to keep it for Charlie one day... Well one day came and thanks to Jeff and Cookie agreeing to some very special arrangements to allow it to happen, Charlie was able to buy the car from Jeff - a real dream come true for Charlie! Anyone who knows Charlie and his passion for Vettes knows that this car has always been his dream car! This car has a home forever!




		... and when it comes to cakes, Sarah Velasco deserves a big hand for making us a very special cake for “skate night” ~ even though the skate police wouldn’t let us enjoy it in their establishment! Don’t worry Sarah, we’ll find a better place to skate AND EAT OUR CAKE next year!


	*Corvettes to Tahoe - June 2006*


			Beautiful weather and a tremendous effort on the part of the Tahoe Corvette Club mad this yet another GREAT run. Group photos were a must everywhere.




		To many of us, the highlight of our trip was meeting Corvette’s legendary Dick Guldstrand (top left) and Noland Adams (top 3rd from the right). These are two of the men who made Corvette the legend it is today! Both were gracious enough to sign books and posters for members, items that will no doubt be extremely valuable one day!
