2026 Maintenance Seminars
Friday and Saturday, March 13th and 14th saw about 25-30 club members show up each day to discuss routine maintenance on their Corvettes, from air filter changes, to oil changes, changing transmission fluids, using the correct fluids, and even some aftermarket installations on items like exhausts and side skirts and splitters. Everyone also got to see first hand every step involved with a routine engine oil change along with filter change on the C8’s. This was extremely valuable information as there are more and more C8 owners in the club every week it seems. Special thanks to Scott and Judy Tamburri for hosting these events at their home garage, and to Phil DelCostello and Bob Lagoy for donating their vehicles for the work, and all their knowledge and hands on interaction with all the club members.

Myrtle Beach Corvette Club donates to local charities.
The Myrtle Beach Corvette Club (MBCC) recently presented checks to two local non-profit charities which the club supports. Proceeds from their 28th Annual Corvettes at the Beach are used to make these contributions possible. The donations went to Canine Angels where rescued dogs are trained as service dogs to assist disabled veterans, autistic children and first responders and Julie’s Kids which provides for children in foster care.
2025 was a record year for the club donations to charity. Checks were presented in the amount of $15,260 to each charity. Through its annual car show, the club has raised over $240,000 over the past 10 years. The Myrtle Beach Corvette Club covers Brunswick County in North Carolina; Horry and Georgetown counties in South Carolina with over 300 club members between the three counties.

2026 Charity Update
Thank you all for voting on our 2026 charities either by email or at the November meeting. There were a variety of charities nominated by members and all are in need of support. If your charity was not selected this year, please nominate them again next year. I already have an organization nominated for 2027!
The club has selected Hope Harbor Home. They are the only domestic violence program and shelter in Brunswick County, NC, and the facility is actually closer to Horry County residents than the next closest shelter, which is in Georgetown County. They operate a 24 hour crisis hotline, provide safe shelter, advocacy and education. This organization also runs area Thrift Stores. The monies will be used towards the construction of a new domestic violence shelter.
Additionally, we welcome back for a second year, Canine Angels out of Little River, SC. Rescue dogs are rehabilitated and trained to become service dogs. The dogs are then placed with disabled veterans, children with autism and first responders with PTSD to name a few recipients .Our monies will go toward training the dogs.
We have two wonderful charities to work with in the coming year.
Thanks again,
Debra Labruna
