Corvettes of Bakersfield had 18 Corvettes and, ahem, one Porsche converge at the Mamma Mia‘s Italian Restaurant where we enjoyed our choice of steak or chicken dinners. Mamma Mia‘s is located at 1804 18th St. in downtown Bakersfield. They were voted the best new restaurant in the 2019 Bakersfield Californian readers poll and the quality of the food confirms this prestigious honor. The food was served very efficiently by the friendly staff who served our 46 or so COB members that attended.
A big thank you to Liz and Chris who arranged for Mamma Mia‘s to open on Sunday to cater to the Corvettes of Bakersfield Brunch of Corvettes event. They were also great at parking cars as the club members were arriving.
After a very filling meal which included ice cream as dessert, a small group of ice cream fanatics enticed other members (a total of 18) to go to Rosemarys Creamery for more ice cream. Boy this club sure knows how to have a good time. Everyone had a great time as there was lots of loud conversation and laughing at both locations.

Do we want to get back with the BCCC?
A lot of discussion followed.

We’ll stick with that and stay neutral.

the future of Gambler’s Classic. The
event has been missed by other clubs.
There was a lot of discussion. We
will take this back to the membership again.
Club Logo: It was suggested, that with the advent of the
C8, we create a timeless logo for the club.
Larry handed a sample to Virgil and put him in the lead of the
subject. Suggestion was made to put an
incentive out to club members to come up with a new logo ($50 or $100). Bill will present this at the general
meeting, offering $100.

said it was filled STUFF. In January,
they’d like to get everyone together that has put STUFF in the storage unit and
go through it and get rid of anything that is not needed.

elections.

Linda McNitt present an
invoice for the dues, $25.00. Larry will

Liz asked why do we need so
much money in our account? What do we do
with it? Danny explained, in the past,
it has been used for seed money for Gambler’s Classic.
