Member Appreciation Showcase Exhibit

As part of our 10th Anniversary Celebration, many activities will be focused towards the recognition of our membership. With this in mind, we invite all NCM members to participate in a special drawing to showcase ten members’ Corvettes in our front turntable from March to December, 2004! Members’ Corvettes will be chosen through a lottery style drawing – one entry per member please. Each month, one winner from the ten drawn will be featured as our showcase Corvette for the month! In addition to being on the display, the member’s Corvette will also be featured in America’s Sports Car magazine, NCM Central news and photos/information posted to the web. Find out more about this special member appreciation exhibition showcase by visiting our website at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/press_releases/Member_Revolving_Display.shtml

All ten winners will be drawn on Wednesday, February 4, 2004. Entries will be accepted through January 31, 2004 – 5:00 p.m. CT. Entries can be submitted through a special email address at: membershowcase@corvettemuseum.com or by calling Adam Boca at: (800) 53-VETTE.
