Default Need some C5 Gen Help

Hey Everyone,

I was on Vacation a few weeks ago and I meet a great couple.

He is in Law Enforcement in IL and she works with Special Needs Kids.

The have a Special Needs child of their own that they adopted.

Turns out he is a HUGE Corvette Fan.

I would like to collect a bunch of Corvette Kick Knacks (what ever you have laying around) to send to him.

They don't know I'm doing this, so it would be cool to send them a huge box of Corvette Stuff. (parts, shirts, hats, models, key chains ect...) As long as they are Corvette Related

If you would like to help out, you can send your odds and ends to the address on our Contact Page
http://www.customcorvetteaccessories.com/contactus.html
and I will consolidate it all and ship it to them.

Let me know

Peace
Chip
