Vettes For Vets: Jeff Salters, of Salty’s, is interested in sponsoring this event. The general consensus was that this is a sticky situation since the event is being hosted at Chuy’s. We need to be care and get more information (i.e. what is he expecting out of it, what specifically does he want to do).
Surf City Corvettes of Sunset Beach has reached out to Virgil and he will get back to them. Three Way Chevrolet pays us $1,200/year as a sponsor. Dick will contact Mike Thomas/sales and set up a meeting regarding an event sponsorship
