There is a ten dollar cash charge to tour the museum. After touring the museum cruise over to the Radisson Hotel 39475 North Woodward for our annual Meet & Greet. A DJ will be the to greet you and the hotel will be selling hamburgers and hot dogs. At 7:00 PM there will be a 50/50 raffle with proceeds to benefit the Open Hands Pantry. At 7:30 PM We will leave the Radisson and cruise to Eleven Mile and Woodward and make our donations to the Food Bank. openhands.pantrynet.org I have been warned by the Police that this year no burnout or spin outs will be tolerated. So please don't spoil it for everyone.If you are coming from out of town I have 20 rooms booked at the Radisson for 89.00 per night.www.radisson.com/bloomfieldhillsmi. USE GROUP CODE CC10
Still want more?? If you are available Thursday or Friday I am arranging tours of the GM Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. If you own a Z06 or a ZR1 definately contact me for something special. Other than the $10.00 at the museum the cruise and tour of the Build Center FREE. You do need to email me so I can plan the tours and food at the hotel. I will also be updating everyone with addresses and if there are any time changes. I am hoping for 400 Corvettes this year.

So here is an update. The DJ is all set. He is really excited to be a part of our party. The police will be there to block traffic. The food bank will have extra people on hand to accept donations. As we get closer to the day I will be setting up tours with the GM Performance Center. There will be tours both Thursday and Friday. I have arranged for extra parking next to the Radisson. There have been donations to help cover some of the extra costs. Thank you. This will be a goodtime to make new friends. Some people you might know are Wil Cooksey said he will be there, so will Dave McLellan. I am going to write to Tom Wallace to see if he can be there as well.
I hope you keep telling your friends about Corvettes on Woodward. Don't hesitate to pass along my email address to them. I am working on a web site. I have the event listed on FaceBook as well. I will keep you posted with more news soon. So far Corvettes are coming from New Jersey, Maryland, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, California and Canada. This will be the biggest ALL CORVETTE event in Michigan this year. Thanks again everyone for your help and support.

I was trying to get a police escort for us on Corvettes on Woodward but was turned down. Not enough money in the budget for any extra police.

If you are interested in attending any and all of the events please let me know. It is now Monday August 16 I am closing all requests except the Food Drive and Cruise. The response has been terrific. The amount of food that is coming is WOW. There are also cash donations so I feel that this year the Food Drive and Cruise will be a great success. Thank you.
