2011 Fall Color Run, South Dakota Reindeer Dance

Welcome to Suburban Corvette Club of Minnesota Website

Suburban Corvette Club was established in January, 1970, led by a group of friends who were looking to get together for some social activities involving Corvettes.

The original club consisted of 12 members, and has grown to almost 200 members. In 1976, SCCM joined the National Council of Corvette Clubs. In 2005 the club hosted the NCCC annual convention in the Twin Cities and Brainerd.

SCCM contributes to several charities, the largest being Spina Bifida for the past 25 years. The club has also done special fundraisers for Cancer, Caring and Sharing Hands, and food shelf drives.

The membership is active in car shows, cruises, and charitable and social events that includes travel throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.

We encourage you to join us on facebook, and attend a meeting, which is held the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Jimmy’s Food & Drink, 1132 East County Rd. E in Vadnais Heights.

Hospitality

Hospitality Committee. Please contact Gloria Weeks if you know/learn of an SCM member that is dealing with a lengthy illness or has had a death in the family. Gloria is looking to the membership to be her eyes and ears and would appreciate being notified so she can send a card on behalf of the club. Thanks.

100 Years of Chevrolet

Automobile Quarterly has provided a unique opportunity for NCCC members to purchase the book 100 YEARS of CHEVROLET. This is a great book that chronicles the history of Chevrolet with many details and interesting promotional materials that describe the automobile industry during the last century.

The book normally retails for $60 plus shipping but Automobile Quarterly wants to partner with NCCC to provide a discount to our members. They are offering the book to NCCC members for the price of $45 plus $13 shipping (it is heavy!) and for each book that is sold within your club, they will reimburse you 10% of the cost of the book. So, for each book sold, your club will receive a $6 rebate. And to make it a little more interesting, the club that sells the most books will receive a special edition worth $300.

The contest will end July 15, 2012.

Dave Juhl will act as the club contact for processing orders, all books will be drop shipped to his address and delivered to members at club meetings and events. Order forms are available by clicking on the link below:
