Attention Corvette Collectors
 We have the privilege of auctioning the “first” 2006 Corvette Coupe produced - VIN #00001.
This special Corvette was also the first to be finished in the Monterey Red color and was the first Corvette to have the six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter – first available on the 2006 model year Corvettes. Used by General Motors for various media events and press coverage, our Corvette for auction has only 138 miles and has the remaining 3 year-36,000 mile warranty. This is a one-of-a-kind treasure for any Corvette collector! Make your bids online at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110157287656
Bidding will close on Thursday, August 17

You Can Help our Troops
 The 28th Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad is one of the first stops for combat injured soldiers in Iraq. In many instances, these soldiers come in with little or no clothes or uniforms due to the injuries. Several members of the Central Georgia Corvette Club are in active duty and stationed there at this time.
The CGCC is helping to obtain donations for the troops including serviceable items such as t-shirts, socks, sweat pants and hygiene items that will used by soldiers during their transport. There is also need for many other items that the hospital has provided on a wish list. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Mail items to:
