The Mississinewa Valley Corvette Club was originally founded in the early 1970s. It was mostly organized for racing events and to be a source of information to its members. Due to work and family obligations, the original club disbanded in the late 1970s. It wasn't until August of 1993, when Ron and Sheri George became interested in joining a Corvette Club, that they found out that the club was no longer around. After contacting several of the original members and the president of a Corvette club in Kokomo, Indiana, the idea of reforming the original club surfaced. Through a lot of hard work and gathering of information, our first meeting was planned. Four months later, the club had a name and we held our first Christmas Party. The difference between the original club and the present one is the fact that the club seems to be on a more social level. Although the club has not been around for a long period of time, interest in the club is growing. We spent the first year reorganizing, contacting original members, locating sponsors, forming a constitution and putting together some type of agenda for monthly meetings, as well as recruiting new members. We filled positions on our board of directors, opened a club account, and even became incorporated. We also joined the N.C.C.C., with activities throughout Indiana, as well as national events held in other states. With each passing year our membership has grown. Not only does the club try to offer a wide variety of activities but our members represent a great diversity of interests and occupations. Members range from factory workers to attorneys, school teachers to leading businessmen, from college students to retirees and homemakers. Each year the club will become more involved with the community whether it be through participating in local car shows, by organizing our own shows or by committing to a greater involvement personally and financially with local charities.
