CORVETTES of BUFFALO pg 1

Hello everyone,

Looking out the window as I write to you and the

snow is falling. It looks as if we are never going to

drive those beautiful cars of ours.

I am looking forward to the coming season. We

will be having our calendar of events meeting in the

very near future so keep an eye out for the email

regarding this meeting just incase you will not be at

the April meeting.

I hate to keep talking about this issue, but if we

don’t have someone come to the for front and take

over the job as editor of our news letter (man or

woman) we will no longer have a news letter to read.

From what I have been told it takes a little better than

average computer skills to do the job. So if anyone is

interested in doing the News Letter you can contact

Dan Krakowski or Jim Bonus they both have offered

to help the new editor get stated and answer any

questions they may have.

Our annual Dinner Dance is approaching it is on

April 25th

at Salvatore’s. So if you have not signed up

you may do so at the April meeting. If you can’t

make the April meeting and wish to attend please

contact Bob Kaczmarek .

Wishing all a very Happy Easter. May the Easter

Bunny bring you all the candy and Easter eggs you

want.

Drive safe

Hi COB Gang and friends

I would like to personally thank all the COB members and friends that stopped by to celebrate the kick-off 2015 Car Show: Cavalcade of Cars event; especially 'Mega-Thanks and kudos' to Lowell Rothenberger and John Heffernan for helping to place my 1963 Fuel Injected S/W at the show safely and in concourse CLEAN

condition, as the photo shoot shows ! Also, special thanks to Bill Mitanis for working with me to prep the S/W. We brought home Best GM and and Excellence in Class Awards. Our Corvettes of Buffalo banner was displayed and

there was new membership interest with several Corvette owners that stopped by to chat.

As I know, these premier car shows are really all about the camaraderie with people and lasting relationships

that evolve during shows of these types of events.

Gene Colucci

And I thought "touching the 'ENZO' Ferrari " was expensive palate @ north of $4mil value !
