JULY
2012 CORSA CONVENTION!
The Northeast Corvair Council (NECC), of which NJACE is a part,
has been awarded the 2012 international convention for the Corvair Society of
America (CORSA), to take place in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The decision
was made during the recent 2010 CORSA convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where
NECC President, Brian O'Neill made a formal presentation to CORSA's board.
This will be the first New England convention in CORSA's 40-year history, and
plans are already well underway to make it different and distinctive.
There are some vibrant Corvair clubs in New England, and they are part of the
NECC with us, so there is a great pool of talent from which to draw.
Many of you are aware than this has been in the works, starting with a meeting
with the New England clubs back in December, and continuing through ongoing
e-mail correspondence and a big multi-club meeting that took place at Treasurer
Tim Schwartz's house a few months ago. Past and present CORSA officers,
from throughout the region and nation, have been part of the effort.
But, now the real work begins, and NJACE and its members will be called upon
to pull its weight. At this early stage we cannot predict what role we will
play, but any role will be vital to the overall convention effort. But,
plan on being in colonial Sturbridge, Massachusetts, in July of 2012!
