February Update

February 2016 Your club officers would like to join many other Corvette Clubs in supporting the NCM with a “volunteer” visit to the museum. The NCM posts a constant calendar of club visits for the purpose of giving “time” to help out at the museum. This can be planned as a road trip event with some fun stops included.


Since we are a distance from the museum we would plan the trip in segments. We can plan Ocala to Chattanooga TN 7.25 hr drive for first day and Chattanooga to Bowling Green KY 3.15 hr drive for arrival in the AM. The museum volunteer time would be approx. 4 hours of a day and time planned for a plant tour, or Motor sports track opportunity, or guided road tour.


June is a pretty open month and good weather time. Going mid week into weekend days are best since plant tours are weekdays only. Track weekends are booked so a Touring lap would be best on a week day.


To make this event happen we need members to commit and to provide input to the trip !


Club Visit Package This special package includes a guided NCM tour, Plant tour, boxed lunch from the Corvette Cafe and special commemorative hard card with lanyard. $20 Members / $25 Non-Members


Guided NCM Tour


The NCM can provide your club with a guided tour of the NCM and the special behind-the-scenes tour.


NCM Guided Road Tour


Kentucky has many beautiful Corvette roads just waiting for clubs to enjoy. We enjoy leading fellow Corvette Enthusiasts on these tours. Maps are also available from the Tourism Desk for clubs that would like to venture out on their own.


Special Club Visit Badges


Your club can commemorate your visit by having event badges created just for your visit.


Volunteer Projects


Some clubs like to contribute to the NCM with their time and talent. We always welcome this assistance.


Below is a list of sample projects that may be included in your clubs work at the NCM:


  • Assemble Membership packets
  • Assemble car show bags
  • Taking photos of engraved bricks
  • Inventory items in Library/Archives
  • Fill bags of ice for rental events

CCMC National Corvette Museum Ambassador


The purpose of the Ambassador Program is to provide Corvette clubs a two way communication link to the NCM. This program provides several opportunities to offer support through participation and involvement in the functions of the Museum. Corvette clubs can play an important role in the mission of the National Corvette Museum by providing the NCM and its staff guidance and assistance. Each participating Corvette club/organization selects an "Ambassador" to act as the liaison of that club/organization to the National Corvette Museum.

Our Current Ambassador: Lee Holtman

The Ambassador's mission is to receive and disseminate the most current and correct information from the Museum, and to convey that information to the club. The Ambassador will act as a Museum representative to promote and solicit support for the Museum through promotional activities and encourage other Corvette enthusiasts to join the Museum. Additionally, the Ambassador will be the voice of our club, communicating concerns, ideas and suggestions to the NCM.
