It's not too early to start thinking about The XLR's 10th Anniversary. Maybe we could have a BIG party in BG during that year's Homecoming Celebration.

I'm not sure how many of you walked through the Corvette Museum this past weekend; but did you notice the Chevy Nova display, at the end?
What do you think about trying to work with the NCM (National Corvette Museum) about putting together a special 10th Anniversary Display down in Bowling Green for the XLR's? Obviously this will require a lot of effort on many people's part to use relationships and demonstrate an INTEREST among XLR and Cadillac owners, willing to support such a display. I'm sure the Corvette Museum will recognize the fact that this would not only be APPROPRIATE (since the XLR was built right there in Bowling Green), but also a means of bringing more people down to Bowling Green's economy and maybe gain some additional SUPPORTERS of the museum (which is a non-profit organization, relying on donations to operate).
Let me know your thoughts.

I sent out emails today to most of the NCM board members about our XLR display idea. I have already gotten some positive replies. The idea will be presented to the Display Committee and hopefully we will get some good feedback from them. I will keep you posted.

I received an email from The NCM today about the XLR's 10th Anniversay display. They liked the idea & would like to have the XLRs on display on Corvette Blvd. inside the museum. This would be a great location to show off the XLRs! We still have a lot of details to work out, but 2014 will be here soon. I'm thinking we may want to do an XLR Celebration Weekend that would be @ a different date than The Homecoming in July. What do you think?

It would nice to be held at some date where it wasn't so hot that trees were fighting over dogs!
Does anyone know what month and date the first XLR rolled off the line?

Probably would require lots of awesome presents and a big party for anyone having a birthday that weekend. Just a thought....

Just a couple of events to keep in mind are: Funfest (Bobfest) is in Sept. and isn't the first weekend in Oct. usually the Corvette Assembly Club fundraiser car show? Maybe we can tie into that one - I'm perfectly fine with a week long celebration down in Bowling Green .
I'm good with whatever the group decides. Also - lets see what weekend options we have with the museum.
Thanks for your help on this Bruce - you and your contacts are an invaluable set of resources! We are so lucky to have to as part of our group! (you and Kathy both).
