February President’s Letter
The January Social, planned by Marilyn Pack, turned out to be a real hit. Thirty five RVC members started with lunch at Antonio’s then off we went to the Butte Creek Mill. If you have never been to this historic site you should take the time to go for a visit. The owner’s, Bob Russell, enthusiasm really shoes through as he talks about the mill and it’s history. We then drove out to Lake Creek – for ice cream, of course. Thank you, Marilyn for a most enjoyable day.
This month we have members who will be helping Rogue valley Street Rods with their Rod and Custom Show at the Jackson County Expo. This will be the 33rd year of this prestigious event. Be sure to attend this special show – their net proceeds benefit the Child Development and Rehabilitation Center up at Oregon Health & Science University.
On February 20th, Lori Hale has set up a dinner social for us at the Red Lobster in Medford. Check out the information on the Event Listings and be sure to let Lori know if you will be there.
Even though we are over 6 months away from our 5th Annual fall Classic, Bob and Colin have been busy working on it. The Posters are done, the Registration Forms completed and sales have started for the Trophies and Plaques. They will be mailing out over 200 packets to people who have previously attended the event. Now is the time to start approaching some of your local businesses for support. If you need any information to help you in these endeavors please let Bob or Colin know.
The Activities Calendar is starting to take shape and thank you to all of you who are heading up an event. Be sure to check out the web site to see what is happening and who is going.
We are all looking forward to another fun filled year.
Sincerely,
Mary Kush
President
RVC VISITS EAGLE POINT HIGH SCHOOL
Four years ago, RVC was introduced to the Skills USA Program by Eagle Point High School and that relationship has continued to grow over the years. Some of our members have become mentors to students in the program.
On January 29th at an all school assembly members, Lori Hale, Ron Seering, Dave Stickland, Tony Wiggins, Bob and Mary Kush presented a check for $2,500.00 to Skills President Callie Beuley, Vice President, Jane’t Kabot and Faculty Advisor, Matt Boren. The money will be ear marked for scholarships and for helping with the travel expenses to the state and national competitions. This year Eagle Point will be sending 25 students to the state competition.
On May 1st, Eagle Point Skills Club will be hosting their annual Thomas Ussary Car Show to help raise funds for their program. We hope to see you there.
Antonio’s, Butte Creek Mill and Run to Lake Creek for Ice Cream
What a great turnout we had for our first Social of 2010 on Saturday. We had sunshine and some clouds. Several members took their corvettes out of storage for the event.
We had a great lunch at Antonio's in Eagle Point and then went on to Butte Creek Mill for a guided tour by owner Bob Russell. The tour was very fascinating and filled with historical information. Several lined up to make their purchase in the store from Debbie Russell. There were lots of great items to choose from. Bob supplied Mary with pamphlets for our car show goody bags. Some of us toured through the antique store and the museum. The Eagle point Museum is one of the largest in Southern Oregon and everyone should take the time to visit it.
Of course with Jim Pack involved, we had to continue with a run out to Lake Creek General Store for ice cream. What a great drive.
Thank you to all members that came out and made this first social event a great one
RVC PRESENTS CHECK TO NORTH VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

These funds were all raised at the annual Fall Classic All Chevy Car Show held in September at Airport Chevrolet.
While at the school, the students and faculty advisor, Ken Klumpp gave the RVC members a tour of their classrooms. We were all impressed with not only their skills but also with their great enthusiasm for the program.

Besides competing in multiple welding categories, there will also be students participating in Prepared Speaking, Extemporaneous Speech, Job Interviewing, Quiz Bowl and Community Service. We wish all them all success.
