4C Shows Strong Support for the Toys-for-Tots Program

On 12/01/18 about 27 4C members descended upon the Ed Bozarth Chevrolet dealership (our club sponsor) in Lone Tree to show support for this worthy cause.  The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Toys-for-Tots is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. Over the years, local and national Chevrolet dealerships have played a significant role in the success of this program. Thanks once again to our sponsor Ed Bozarth for hosting this even and to the generous 4C members who participated.

90th Birthday Corvette Ride

On 06/08/18, a group of 4C members helped Gloria Hanson, a perfect stranger and one of our Colorado neighbors, celebrate her amazing 90th Birthday with a cherished Corvette Cruise. The Club was contacted, via our website, by her son-in-law Bill who explained that Gloria has always wanted a ride in a vintage Corvette and always talks about them. 4C President, Les Rhoades replied back that our club would arrive in true Corvette style to give Gloria a ride. The 4C membership was quick to get on board and support this great surprise. New members Andrew and Jenna Hill supplied the vintage Corvette, which is a favorite of Gloria's, and additional club members showed up to offer rides to family members. Gloria's birthday Corvette cruise went down Wadsworth past Chatfield State Park and took the back streets to Ed Bozarth Chevrolet where Gloria had the opportunity to sit in the 1954 Corvette displayed in the new car showroom. From there, Gloria was taken back to her house where everyone shared some cake and drinks.
