Patrick Dolan ~ Director of Charity Michigan Region ~ Royal Corvettes of Western Michigan Spouse: Cindy Kids: Jennifer and Sarah 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 and 2005 will be my 30th. 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.

Hal Bellamy ~ Convention Steering Advisor Indiana Region ~ Elkhart Vette Set Spouse: Mary Kids: Brian, Michelle, Jeff Grandkids: Cody and Ella Corvettes: 1980 "old blew" 1981 original owner, 1991 every day driver. Favorite Vette Fun: The people. The cars. The events. The travel. The smiles. This is a great way to spend the kid's inheritance. I also like to go fast. Maybe I will, someday.          Hal says: Corvettes are built like any car… an engine, some lights, a few tires, and a splash of pretty paint. They also come built with a special spirit, an attitude, and a tradition. We built everything but the car. I think we are doing a good job.

Debbie Lindsey ~ Director of Sponsorship Southwest Region ~ Cowtown Vettes Spouse: Jerry Kids: Colin and Brent Corvettes: 2004 Commemorative Z06 and a1986 Coupe that Jerry is building into a Race Car. 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!

If Jim wouldn’t have encouraged me (pushed me) into trying in September of 1995 I can’t imagine what these past years would have been like. Joan says: Any day above ground is a good day but any day I can Autocross is even better!

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?
