Jim Spore Award:
A very important and key person involved not only in our car show, but with the Myrtle Beach Corvette Club in many ways was Jim Spore. After Jim passed away on June 3, 2022, an annual award was established in Jim’s name. The Jim Spore Award, will be presented to a club Member/Couple that exhibits the values and dedication to the Myrtle Beach Corvette Club that our dear friend Jim exhibited.
The following is a excerpt from the initial motion to establish the Jim Spore Award in 2022.
Along the path of life you meet many people, both good and let’s say, not so good.
And then you meet Jim & Sharon Spore!
On June 3rd, 2022, we lost Jim after a valiant, post surgery battle. On the Wednesday prior to his surgery, Jim, Linda, Randy, Kevin, Dwight and myself met at Broadway the Beach parking lot to review his layout for parking to be held two months later. He was adamant he would be recovered in time to lead the parking at our show last Saturday.
Former club president Gerry Gismondi. described Jim as an exceptional member and a dear friend to all of us.
Besides holding the activities director position, car show parking chair, Jim & Sharon also recently organized and led numerous trips to Hilton Head, Asheville, The Biltmore and the Tail of the Dragon. They also led or numerous cruise’s and road rally’s throughout the years, in addition to many epic trips and activities organized by Jim & Sharon as well. Jim was also asked that he reprise a trip to Williamsburg which they had done a number of years ago. In his enthusiastic manner he said he would start gathering his information and work out the details.
Jim was an extraordinary person. Always with a smile, and genuineness in his conversations with you. His leadership and willingness to help in any way needed are sure to be missed by many. I could go on, but you all knew Jim and the person he was.
Please be on the lookout for the names of the 2025 nominees for the Jim Spore Award. These will be announced on Tuesday April 29th, 2025, at which time voting will be officially open. Instructions for casting your vote will be shared at that time as well. All votes must be submitted not later than May 17, 2025 and the award will be presented at our Friday night social, June 6, 2025, the night before our car show.
Thank you,
Phil DelCostello
President
