I want to thank, once more, danascar (Dan) and his wife Kathy along with assistance manchestershark (Mark) and his wife Shirley for putting together an incredible agenda for the 2023 C3VR Member Gathering!  Without their help it would simply not have been possible.  They picked great sites to see, great drives, great eateries and fun things to do and explore! The location of the hotel was beautiful and gave us a true picture of the Poconos. 

They spent countless hours testing out routes to drive, visiting sites, talking with managers, visiting many and selecting a hotel, and checking out and booking restaurants. Being local and extremely familiar with the area offered them a distinct advantage in planning this event. Someone from the outside, like myself, never could have put this together.

I profoundly appreciate all they did to make this such a great Gathering!

I will post a separate thread with a link to pics as soon as I have them available.

In the meantime, here are a few:

I would also like to thank Dan, Kathy, Mark and Shirley for their time and effort to make all the arrangements. Great choice of fun places to visit. 
Great lunches and dinners. 
Great Corvette twisty roads. 
And it was wonderful to see old friends and meet new friends. 
Can’t wait for 2024.

Sounds like it was a wonderful success. It does take a lot of work, by a lot of people, to pull off such an endeavor. I wish I could have made it too.

Thanks much folks.

I want the whole group to know you are a great bunch! As a new member and this being my first outing with the C3 group, I was impressed with the way all of you embraced and welcomed new comers. I want to also thank Dave & Adam for letting me ride along in their cars because my car was out of commission. Looking forward to the next gathering.

Dorothy & I had a great time, and saw many attractions that we had not seen in the past, even though we had lived in Pennsylvania for many years in the past.

Thanks for those that put this together, and for everyone else making the effort to attend this great event!
