Corvette Club Gives to Needy Child Fund

December 8, 2017 By Dick Cook 0 Comments

Chuck Logan of the River City Corvette Club, middle right, presents a $3,000 check to Tommy Roe and Ora Citty of the East Ridge Needy Child Fund, Friday at City Hall.

The River City Corvette Club presented a check to representatives of the East Ridge Needy Child Fund, Friday morning at City Hall.

Chuck Logan, the President of the club, said that much of the $3,000 check given to the NCF came from proceeds of the ‘vette club’s car show held in August at Camp Jordan Arena.

“We like to keep our charitable giving local,” Logan said. “We gave a check earlier this morning to Hospice of Chattanooga.”

Many of the River City Corvette Club’s 160 members have an East Ridge connection, Logan said. 

This is the third year that the club has given to the Needy Child Fund. That giving has coincided with the city hosting a car show at the park. Last year the River City Corvette Club donated $2,700 to the NCF.
