Default Attention PA Owners

I just got done reading an update on a young Corvette fan from Arizona who passed away last night after a battle with a terminal illness. Please see the link below for more details.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1363124

Part of the reason this young man's story reached us in the forum was due to the fact that one (or more) of our members went to his house to show him and give him rides in over 20 vettes. This got me thinking that maybe some of the PA owners would want to do something similar to this for children who it would make their day for something like this to happen to them.

I am near Hershey Medical Center and many residents in the area know about Hershey Med. Would anyone be interested in making some kids' day over a weekend and taking 25-30 vettes to the hospital for them to see/sit in/maybe even take a ride? I know of some other groups doing this in NY and of course AZ. I'd be willing to organize.

Share your thoughts everyone!

I know Cumberland Valley Corvette Club did that years ago. I was invited by a few of the members but couldn't make because of scheduling conflicts. I'll be seeing them next weekend and inquire if they still do it.
