February Meeting Location Changed
We are returning to the Chesterfield County Airport for the General Membership Meeting scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on February 10. The meeting will take place in the banquet room there. The address is 7511 Airfield Drive, North Chesterfield, VA 23237. The airport is just a few miles from our regular Southside meeting location, the Smith-Wagner building of the Chesterfield County Government Complex.
The after-meeting social will take place at King’s Korner Restaurant, also located at the airport. This is the same restaurant we used for the January, 2012, after-meeting social. Due to the increased cost to the Club associated with hosting the after-meeting social at a restaurant, there will be an increase in the cover charge from $5 per person to $10 per person. As in the past, first time guests will not be charged.
Any questions may be directed to Paul Murman, President, or Alease Foster, Events Coordinator.
Directions: From VA-288, take the exit for Iron Bridge Rd/VA -10 W. This is the same exit you would have taken to go to the Smith-Wagner building, except from Rt. 288 you will take the exit going NORTH instead of south. After exiting from Rt. 288, at the first light (six tenths of a mile from Rt. 288), take a left turn onto Whitepine Road. Take the next right onto Airfield Drive. The airport facilities are at the end of the road.

Their showroom will be full of gifts such as watches, hats, t-shirts, jackets, polo shirts, duffel bags, clocks, signs, collectibles, calendars, posters, key chains, books, wallets, glassware, coffee mugs, die cast items, neon, license plate frames, stainless accessories, car covers, exhaust systems, restoration parts and performance items. They can even help put a C6 4.11 differential under the tree!
As a reminder, CCR members can check out some of the items they found at SEMA on Zip’s Facebook page. Videos are also posted on the site, including one of two ZR1s giving the track a test. Zip came back from SEMA with several new items, including Corsa Z06/ZR1 exhaust systems with black chrome tips, 2011 Corvette wheels, and Lloyd Signature Rubber Floor Mats for C6 Corvettes. Additional new Corvette accessories are coming in for the Christmas season every day.
This will be special time exclusive to CCR only; the showroom will be closed to the general public. Light refreshments will be served. This promises to be a fun and helpful evening. Even if you don’t need anything at this time, come on out and spend some quality time with your fellow CCR members and get to know the helpful staff at Zip Products.
