I can't stand to look at Corvettes <g> but what a great cause. Clapping....

Is anyone interested in a group UT thing to benefit soldiers' families?


>Our Corvette club (along with the SSR club) has started an annual car show event, Vettes4Vets, out here in Phoenix. This was our second year and we raised over $10,000 (up from $5,000 the first year) for the families of the National Guard members here in Arizona. A lot of them are/have been in Irag, and it's extremely tough on the families while they're deployed. We also collect food donations at each monthly meeting.
