Colorado River Corvette Club
MEMBER NEWS
​It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of long- time member and friend Pat Walker who passed away peacefully on February 28th after her struggle with pneumonia.
Pat was having trouble breathing and went to the WARMC ER on Wednesday, the 25th where, after a few tests, was admitted. Her son Marvin, daughter-in-law Pam, and Jack were with Pat at the hospital.
On Friday, Pat was scheduled for a procedure to drain the left lung. She failed to cooperate with local anesthesia and was to go to Sunrise Hospital that night. Her condition took a bad turn and the flight to Las Vegas was cancelled.
Saturday afternoon, tough decisions were made by the family and shortly after Pat peacefully took her last breath with friends and family by her side. Pat and Jack had (4) four boys, Marvin, Andy, John and Stephan who are spread across the country in different states. Pat and Jack Walker were married for 61 years.
Pat and Jack were both members of the Corvette Club in Santa Clarita for many years, where they met Greg and Pat Attl, and in 2013, they moved to Laughlin, Nevada. There, they joined CRCC on March 8, 2014.
They went on many road trips, logging thousands of miles throughout those years with both clubs, and were always fun to have around. Jack worked on many of the routes as road captain with Bob Siecke and Greg Attl, both members from the Santa Clarita club, and continued to plan great trips and itineraries when joining CRCC. One thing for sure, Pat enjoyed ALL of those trips and was a huge fan of champaign, and other libations. She could kid with the best of them and always enjoyed a good laugh.
Plans are being made (dates to be determined) to have a celebration of Pat's life here locally and then she will be laid to rest in Santa Clarita, California with a full military service as a Veteran of the Navy.
Pat loved her Corvette life, all the friends she met and touched, her "puppies" Lola and Lucy, husband Jack and her family. We will miss our sweet friend.
​
God Bless Pat Walker

Congratulations to our 2025 CRCC Award Winners Shown Below
Bob Beynon
President's Award
The President’s Award is given to a member who has over the course of the year given back to our club and volunteered countless hours on a variety of committees for the benefit of its members. As President, it is my pleasure to present this award...again tonight
He has served on the Board of Directors for the past two (2) years as Treasurer. His watchful eye on expenses has given this club the flexibility to enjoy yearly events, as well as support our local charities and organizations that need help during the year.
It’s not easy being Treasurer, collecting money for dues, upcoming concerts and events, 50/50, Badge it or Lose it, and Quartermaster all in one sitting, and keeping track of it all as members are throwing money at you, not to mention making deposits for ALL of those events and keeping track of who’s signed up!!
His calm demeanor and “attention to detail” comes easy because of his long history in the banking business, and it’s been a perfect fit. His opinion are real…. and well respected. He has truly been a great asset to this team.
We are grateful to him for his leadership, hard work, dedication and ongoing support to the Colorado River Corvette Club, and with that....................... it is my pleasure to present this year’s
President’s Award to a good friend…. and our great Treasurer, Mr. Bob Beynon.

Volunteer's Award
VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR 2025
Volunteers are the cornerstone of any club, and are vital to its success.
The Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes individual members, outside of the Board of Directors, for their “valuable and selfless” commitment, and contributions made to members of, and for this club.
Our club is very lucky to have members who volunteer when needed without being asked and they do it regardless of the situation.
​
This year we are blessed with these two (2) gentleman who in “looking forward” for the betterment of our club, put together an Auto Cross program that will in the future, raise funds for this club and allow us to give back even more to our local communities. This Auto Cross program I feel is going to be a “big hit”.
​
For their vision, countless hours, dedication and continued support to the Colorado River Corvette Club, it is my pleasure to present the Volunteer Of The Year Award to two (2) very deserving gentleman who worked as a “team” to get this program off the ground for the betterment of our club.
​
Please join me in recognizing our 2025 Volunteers of the Year. Jim Zaborsky &
