Mark your calendar for our Vettes to Vets Event 2009!
Sunday, September 27, 2009. Gold Star Mother Day! Honor our veterans by joining in the 6th Annual Vettes to Vets Day!
Time change - 9 AM - 3 PM (Caravan to the hospital departs at 11:45. An hour earlier than in past years)
We will continue to meet at the Marriott Hotel in Billerica MA, 270 Concord Road, 978-670-7500. The hotel gave participants a great room and meal rate last year and has committed to do the same next year. This site will post the rates as soon as the Hotel gives them to us.
We will head to the Edith Nourse Veterans Hospital at 11:45 with our usual police escort.
If the weather co-operates this year we anticipate 300 Corvettes. All Corvettes will receive a commemorative pin and there is no fee; we just ask that you be as generous to the patients as you can.
Some of the things you have to look forward to again this year: The Paul Revere Chapter will host a GREAT chow line, the veteran’s choice award will be given out and we will have an honor guard, entertainment, and other activities, which will be posted to this site as they develop.
We would love to see every Corvette flying an American flag this year. If you don't have one, we will try to have them available. The flags looked great on FOX news last year.
We will also be getting together for a party on Friday night and expect that the hotel will, once again, be putting on a buffet for us on Saturday night.
For those who want to take advantage of the great hotel rates, the hotel is within about 30 minutes of Salem, Boston, the Lowell and Minuteman National Historic sites, Gloucester and Rockport. There is a lot to do and see in the area, so please come early and spend a few days with us.

We are proud to announce that "Vettes to Vets", on a very wet and dreary day, still had over 140 corvettes and over 25 metal cars show up to support our veterans. We collected $6000 and close to $20,000 in donated items. We are also happy to announce that the Paul Revere Chapter, Air Force Assoc. donated $1782 from the proceeds of the BBQ. All in all it was a successful day and our hope is that next years event is bigger and better.
