My Marketplace Wed., Jan. 09 | During our January meeting, Marty recruited three of the fairer sex to offer some detailing tips each uses when preparing their Corvettes. Laura Hegyi explained the benefits of a compressed air can for removing hard‐to‐ reach areas and packaging tape for gathering carpet fibers and surface dust. Joann Warmkessel loves her NAPA glass cleaner (less than $3/can) and swears by microfiber cloths but admits that newspaper works well. Jeanette Marakovits offered negative tips — don’t go too long between washings (it makes things much worse), don’t wash in direct sunlight (it hastens drying and causes water spots), don’t wear jewelry while detailing (great risk of scratches), don’t use any cleaning mitts that fall on the ground, and “don’t do a good job — they’ll want you to help again!” Marty Hegyi’s My Marketplace continues at the first regular meeting each month through Spring. Contact Marty if you have a Corvette‐related product or service to present to your fellow club members. Marty can assist with your presen‐ tation if needed. Recap: Dinner at Blue Grillhouse Sun., Jan. 27 | A group of 38 AACCers enjoyed cocktails and dinner at Blue (Bethlehem, PA). The annual dinner event helps cure the "winter blues" on a non‐important NFL football night and gets everyone ready for the “big game.” The event was again chaired by Mike and Cindy Cutro. Bacon with the Boys Chair: Jeff Mohring (‘04, ‘16) Fri., Feb. 22 | AACC’s boys and girls are invited to join Jeff Mohring for breakfast on the last Friday of the month. The time is 9am but the location varies around the Lehigh Valley. Contact Jeff at 610‐392‐6898 or [email protected].

Many things are new for this year — new venue (Penn State Lehigh Valley), new day and date (Sat., June 1st), new sponsor (Michelin Tires), and even a new online registration option (https://springfest2019/eventbrite.com). Some elements remain consistent from past years — Corvettes only, judged show, rain or shine, Tricky Tray, sponsored by Faulkner Chevy, and plenty of awe‐ some ‘Vettes! The event flyer is posted online now and will appear in this newsletter beginning in March. Helping David and Joe with the event will be these committee chairs: Sponsorship (Elizabeth & Bruce Garnto), Tricky Tray (Donna Snowden & Jim Flader), Registration (Denise Iervolino), Operations (Jim Fagan), and Judging (Marty Hegyi). There will be plenty of opportunities for you to get involved on one—or more—committees, so watch for sign‐up sheets as the show nears. Together we can make this the biggest Springfest yet! Camaros at 2019 Bloomington Gold by Steve Burns (CorvetteBlogger.com) Fri., Dec. 28 | Big news out of the Bloomington Gold camp this week! After several years of contemplation, the show will be expanding to include Chevrolet Camaros in addition to Corvettes for the 2019 show.
