The guest speaker at the October NSCC club meeting will be David Katz from the Save a Star Drug Awareness Foundation.
SAVE A STAR is a drug awareness foundation founded in 2007 by David & Gail Katz and their daughter Melissa Gold, following the death of their son, Daniel, from an overdose of OxyContin, an addictive pharmaceutical drug.
The foundation serves as a tribute to Daniel and a commitment to help others who may be faced with a drug problem, loved ones seeking help, education and information, as well as communities and educators who strive to bring insight and a heightened awareness of the dangers of drug abuse.
Part of David's presentation will cover the dangers of old prescriptions in the home. Please bring your old prescriptions to the October NSCC meeting for disposal at the Libertyville Police station following the meeting.
Save A Star is helping initiate Drug Disposal Programs in communitiesacross the United States. If your community is interested in a Save A Star Drug Disposal Program, email your request to mailto:dk@saveastar.org Save A Star Drug Awareness Foundation. Or call 1-847-579-1300.
A Letter from Ed Harms
$ NSCC IS PRICELESS $
You join a car club because you own a special car… You find out you can learn a lot about your special car… You participate in some meetings and activities… You get to know other people with similar interests… You form friendships… You find the friendships go beyond the club… You find that good friends look out for each other…
How do I know this is true?
On the way home from two great days of racing and comradeship, low and behold my trusty 2015 Stingray sprung a leak and I found myself alone on the shoulder of I294; stranded and overheated.
Another member returning from the race spotted me as they zoomed on by. They got off the next exit and came back to me to find out what was going on. They immediately insisted I get in their air conditioned car to make my phone calls while one of them sat in the sun on the side of I294.
After a lot of time seeking tow assistance, a tow truck with a driver who specializes in antiques and exotic cars came to my rescue. We all marveled at the amazing care he took while loading up my baby.
My NSCC friends never left till I was in the tow truck heading North. That defines “Priceless”.
Thank you for your friendship, Tom and Debbie.

The new NSCC Banner at the NCM for 2017-2018
This is the design for the new banner that will be hung in the parking lot at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. It will go up in August 2017 and will come down at the end of May 2018 at which time it will be given to us.
Be sure to look for it during your next visit to the museum. Take a picture of yourself and your party standing under it and send it to our webmaster. Your picture will be posted on the website.
