CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM THE FLAG CITY CORVETTE CLUB

Open Arms is excited to be named the recipient of an $8000 donation from the Flag City Corvette Club for 2010. We are grateful for the continued support of the amazing and generous members of the Club.

The Flag City Corvette Club was formed in 1963 under the name, Fort Findlay Corvette Club. It lasted until 1967. During the 1970's and into the late 1990's, Tri-County Vette Club from Fostoria and Flag City Corvettes, sponsored by Harrington Chevrolet, participated in many activities in the surrounding area.

On October 11, 1998, the new Flag City Corvette Club was re-formed. The club, sponsored by LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac, held its first meeting on this date with 31 members present. Today, Flag City Corvette Club has over 100 members and over 70 beautiful Corvettes represented. People from Findlay and surrounding areas continue to join the club so it will remain active and vibrant for future Corvette lovers.
