In 1977, Bill Herman and Howard O’Neill decided that Sacramento needed a Corvette social club. The first few meetings were held in people’s homes. There were a total of 7 cars. We still have two of the original members. They include Anne Huntley and Terri Hunt. We moved to Daugherty Chevrolet’s sales meeting room. We had runs to Apple Hill, the Delta and car races at the Roseville Raceway, Cal Expo Harness races. We have met at the Coors and Bell Distributors in the Sacramento area. We then moved to the Cordova Lodge in Rancho Cordova. We were there for about three years. Membership was up to 30 cars. Then we moved to Charlie Brown’s on Exposition Blvd. Then onto the Buggy Whip on Fulton Blvd. We outgrew that location. As we have grown in membership we have moved around. We have been at the Ramada Hotel on Bradshaw, the Dante Club, the McClellan Officer’s Club, the Elk’s Lodge in Carmichael, the Lion’s Gate and now back to the Dante Club. We started with a club Anniversary Progressive Dinner. With the growth in membership, we outgrew people’s homes. We did have an Anniversary Dinner in the park. Now we have our Anniversary Dinners where we have our monthly meetings. The best part of the club is the life long friendships you make, the support you get in your times of need with gaining and losing love ones. We have helped each other through illnesses and joyful events. We have enjoyed various runs all over Northern/Southern California,Nevada and Southern Oregon. Performance Chevrolet became our sponsors in 2004. The enthusiastic support of John and Val McMichael has been wonderful. They have shared their time, home, and love of Corvettes with us.
