WHO ARE WE?
Display of seven generations of Venice Florida Corvettes members’ corvettes at 2019 VFC Golf Outing
Venice Florida Corvettes, Inc. (VFC) is a very active social car club with members that believe Corvettes are built to be driven. Joining a new organization is always daunting. To welcome our new members, we hold New Member Orientation meetings, as needed, to introduce them to all of the components of VFC and the benefits available to them. We have a dedicated and enthusiastic Social Committee that offers members a wide variety of events. Events are scheduled monthly year round. These events include outings to places of interest in the area and across the state. These road trips give us an opportunity to learn more about the wonderful State we live in, and a chance to make new friends and renew old friendships. The road trips can be one day outings or trips that offer a fun getaway with good driving, good friends and good food. Past events include sporting events, theater/music events, and trips to historic and tourist destinations. We also have events for the ladies including luncheons, crafting events and workshops.
The annual Welcome Back Brunch and the Farewell Picnic are the two largest events of the year when our seasonal members arrive and depart. Besides planned events the club has spontaneous events such as Meet & Greet lunches at local restaurants or technical visits to local corvette repair/restore vendors several times a year. The club is introducing a new and exciting event in February 2021. We are planning the first ocean cruise for the club. It is inclusive of adult friends & family and other Southwest Florida Corvette Clubs. The first cruise will be a five night/six day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean on the NCL GETAWAY. It is planned for 100 attendees during a month when our seasonal members can join in. There will be drawings for free cruise fares and a social committee will have planned VFC member group activities. Hopefully this will become an annual event to augment our road trips. It is another way in which VFC Social is adapting to membership growth and finding activities to accommodate large group togetherness.
In addition to these adventures, we have at least one club designated car show each month. If you are interested in showing your car, VFC is the place to be. If you have never shown your car, VFC holds clinics periodically to introduce you showing your car. Members enter the show they are interested in and we travel to the show as a group. These car shows can be local (a one day event) or in other areas, which again, gives us drive time, show time and social time with friends. Each month, the Vice President publishes a list of the car shows scheduled for your review. One is designated as a VFC group show.
Are you interested in a longer, over the road trip? We have those, too. In 2003, a group of ten (10) VFC members caravanned to Bowling Green, KY for the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette. In 2014, twenty-four (24) VFC members participated in the caravan to the National Corvette Museum for its 20th anniversary. A large group from the club also participated in the 2019 caravan for the 25th National Corvette Museum anniversary.
In 2018, a group of members joined together for a 25-day, 6,200-mile road trip featuring Route 66 and some of the western states it passes through. We are always open to new travel ideas.
VFC is fortunate to have enthusiastic sponsors who have contributed to our success. Jenkins Chevrolet of Venice, Norma Jean’s Sports Bar & Grill and Englewood Bank & Trust are in our support network. With the backing of our sponsors and the dedicated members of our club, we host our “Corvettes in Venice, A Vette-Together” each spring. We are proud to say that our show has been called one of the best corvette shows in Florida. Details about our annual show can be found under the VFC Car Show tab on this web site.
