NEWS FLASH, NEWS FLASH - Bud Wall just informed me that Sunday, May 5, is the 46th anniversary of the Nebraska Corvette Association. Come and celebrate in Milligan with us.

From the President

Hello NCA Members,

NCA did do a lot of good this past weekend.  We had eleven cars show up for the Colton Prince Benefit fundraiser at the Gretna Legion on Sat.  Kudos to those brave souls that did because the weather was cold and windy.  But, I think all had fun getting their Corvettes back out on the road and knowing that the car show with about 30 cars raised over $1000. to help the Prince family with medical expenses. 

Sunday was a better day weatherwise for our Adopt A Highway clean up on N Hwy 77.  It didn't take long because 34 NCA members showed up with their grubs and gloves on ready for work.  The Nebraska Corvette Association clean up site is as "Clean as a Whistle".  Thanks to all that helped.

Reminder:  Don't forget our NCA Social is this coming Wed.  Meet at Shoemaker's on Hwy 6 and 48th at 6 pm to caravan to Keller's in Pleasantdale.  It's time to dust off your Corvette and get it out for the season.

Spring has Sprung!  It's official!

Colton Benefit Car Show

NCA had a great turnout to the Colton Benefit Car Show, a group of 10 members met  at U-Stop  ( 84th & Highway 6 )  at 11:30 and left for Gretna for the Gretna Cancer Benefit Show. Our route took us to I 80 and drove in a Caravan to Gretna.  The Group actually drove the Speed Limit and  had a very cool trip to Gretna.  When we arrived,  John & Darla Lanz were waiting.  They were camping at Mahoney State Park.  Other members who made the trip were: Bruce Younglove, Mike McFarland, Terry Wagner, Bill Zuspan, Ed Garrett, Arlyn Uhrmacher, Bill Terry, Dave Lovercheck, Mike Durnal, Jeff & Robin Kuhlmann, The trip was enjoyed by all and well worth the time spent for the Benefit.   Another positive aspect of being there was the opportunity to meet and talk with the President of the Cornhusker Corvette Club(Kevin) as well as some very friendly members who were also there.  Bruce talked with the President about Possible having a joint social so we can all get to know  members of the Cornhusker Corvette Club, and to build a good relationship. Bruce & Kevin had their picture taken together. Show Pictures

April Meeting News

April 11 was the date of our first meeting at a new location for our monthly Nebraska Corvette Association. We gathered at the Elks Club at 7:30 for the start of the meeting.  Prior to that, members had the option to have a delicious dinner with either a sloppy joe & potato salad & chips or a fresh garden salad with chicken over the top.  Both were very good and around 35 people ate there before the meeting.  Only $6.00 66 Members were present and many items of business were discussed.  We adjourned at 8:40 and all walked out to an inch of snow covering our cars. All in all, a very fun evening enjoyed by all. Ironically enough, the only person who drove his Corvette to the meeting was a new member.
