Scottsdale Corvette Club Mission Statement

To enhance the experience of Corvette ownership through the support system and fellowship of its members. This is achieved in an interactive social environment of monthly meetings, activities, road tours and a newsletter. This forum invites the sharing of experiences, knowledge and fun, while creating an atmosphere that perpetuates the leadership position of America's only true sports car. All that is asked of its members is professionalism, integrity, personal ethics, and a love of the Corvette.

History

The Scottsdale Corvette Club was founded as an Arizona nonprofit corporation in August of 1999. The Club’s first newsletter went out in August of 1999. We had twelve member-families and the purpose of the newsletter was to present to the members the proposed structure for the Club and to ask them to vote for the officers/board members who had volunteered to serve. Originally the Club had two dinner meetings per month. Starting in January 2000, dinner meetings began to be held once a month on the second Wednesday of each month. In 2001, the Club became affiliated with Van Chevrolet as its official sponsor. Over the years the Club has had some fabulous events, road trips and parties. Each year the holiday party, which is subsidized by the Club, is held at a local golf club with dinner, music and dancing. The Club activities each year comprise a mixture of day trips (such as the southern Arizona wine country, and to Flagstaff for lunch and a tour of the Riordan Mansion) , a few overnight trips (for example, to Bisbee and Tombstone) or weekend road trips ( we’ve been to Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Santa Barbara, Santa Fe and on the Route 66 Fun Run), house parties (it may be a pot luck dinner, golf and barbecue, or to a member’s home after the Toy Run), and quarterly dinners at local ethnic restaurants (such as Fogo de Chao and Takeda Thai).
