Patrick Dolan ~ Director of Charity

Kids:  Jennifer  (FCOA #0002) and Sarah (FCOA #0003)
Corvettes:  1963 Split Window, 1970 ZR-1 Convertible and 1973 454 Convertible
Favorite Vette Fun: From 1973-1990 it was the competition of racing. Since 1988 I have had the privilege of representing NCCC at functions across the country so I have met hundreds of Corvette-related individuals. I have always enjoyed Conventions.
Patrick says: Go to Convention! It is the best bang for the buck. If you are looking to become more involved, the Charity Committee is always open to workers.


Debbie Lindsey ~ Director of Sponsorship
Southwest Region ~ Cowtown Vettes
Spouse: Jerry
Kids:  Colin and Brent
Corvettes:  1986 Black Corvette
Favorite Vette Fun: For events, it would be autocrossing although I have not done this since 1992. Working with conventions has given me the opportunity to meet many people in NCCC that I would not have known otherwise and this has created a lot of "Corvette Fun" for me.
Debbie says: My association and involvement in NCCC has given me some of my closest friends in life including my husband and I am very thankful for that! I hope that we can all be encouraging and positive with each other as that is what motivates people to want to do more and become more involved!

Kids:  Katy, Sandi and Duffy (James II)
Grandkids:  Ashley, Johnny, Erik, Karl, Fox (James III) and Roark
Great-Granddaughter:  Brynlee
Corvettes:  2002 Electron Blue Z06
Favorite Vette Fun: I especially loved Low Speed Autocross Events during my Competition years. My favorite fun thing to do is still to encourage someone to try Autocross. If Jim wouldn’t have encouraged me (pushed me) into trying in September of 1995 I can’t imagine what 1995 thru 2012 would have been like.
Joan says: Any day above ground is a good day!


Pat Kelly ~ FCOA Director

Favorite Vette Fun: What’s there not to like about anything you can do with a Vette??? We’ve done just about all of it ~ social & competitive and it’s hard to pick a favorite.
Pat says: Participate in Corvette activities whenever you can. You’ll never regret the time spent with your Corvette “family”. Volunteer to help your Club, your Region and NCCC ~ you’ll find it very rewarding. And don’t forget that FCOA is the foundation of NCCC’s 21st Century! Get your kids, Grand-kids, nieces and nephews interested in Vettes now ~ you don’t want them running around in a Viper, Porsche or Mustang, do you?

Cindy says: Make time for what you love and don't waste time on stuff that isn't important. (Corvette Club stuff is always worth making time for.)
