MEMBER NEWS

It's with a heavy heart to report the passing of our dear friend and Corvette Club member Betty Vlahos.  Betty passed away peacefully on July 24th.

 

Betty was an extremely sweet person to know and always had a smile on her face.  Known as "pooh" to Bill, her caring husband and best friend, they traveled everywhere together and enjoyed many of our Corvette runs throughout Arizona Colorado, Utah and New Mexico in their 2004 Metallic Red Coupe. 

 

One story that sticks with me is the time Bill and Betty hit a deer on the road coming back from one of our road trips.  The deer suddenly appeared crossing the road crashing into Bills Corvette and causing a lot of damage.  The fun part of the story is he drove home with the deer's fur still stuck in the engine hood.    

 

Bill and Betty have been members for five (5) years joining our club in April 2018.  Betty had a soft voice, a beautiful smile, a wonderful sense of humor, and most of all loved her glass of wine wherever she went.  

They were a private couple who loved each other very much, and when you saw them in public, you would think they were on their first date the way they looked and acted toward one another. 

She will be sorely missed.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go to Bill and their beautiful family at this difficult time.

Jack Walker
The President's Award 

Joining the Colorado River Corvette Club in 2014, he has always been black and white and he’ll tell you straight up how he’s feeling, or how, and what he thinks. His opinions are valued, and he's certainly not afraid to speak up.   He has played a major role volunteering on many committees, and helping out whenever asked, serving on the Board of Directors for the past eight (8) years as Treasurer. His watchful eye on expenses has given the club the flexibility to enjoy yearly events, as well as support charities and organizations that need help during the year, and in November, when we give back to our local communities.  Doing it “His Way”, and since the beginning, we are thankful for his leadership, commitment, dedication and support to the Colorado River Corvette Club. It is with great pleasure tonight for me to present this year’s President’s Award to my friend and my “Wingman”, for the past 18 years….
