Happy Thanksgiving – From Our Family to Yours
Although we should be thankful all year round for our many blessings,
Thanksgiving is a time set aside to earnestly consider all of our blessings. We
have the privilege of networking with you at events, by phone and email and
truly appreciate all you do to support our efforts.
It is through the Museum and what it stands
for, that we have the chance to build relationships, friendships and
partnerships with so many people. We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope
that you feel free to contact us at anytime to share your thoughts and ideas on
how we can best represent the Museum, Corvette and our mission of preserving,
educating and celebrating the Corvette.
From our family to yours, we hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
