Welcome to the Rochester Corvette Club

- PRESIDENT’S OPENING NOTES FOR 2026, Dennis Whitmore -

As we step into 2026, and our 67th year as the Rochester Corvette Club, I would like to wish every member a very Happy New Year!

This Club belongs to each and every member and has since 1959. I want to begin by saying how humbled and honored I am by the RCC family for allowing me to serve as your next President in 2026. I’m excited, and yes, a little nervous, about what lies ahead, but I am extremely fortunate to be working alongside an exceptional Board. The knowledge and experience each Board member brings to the table is truly astounding. In addition, many Past Presidents and Club Members have graciously offered their support and assistance whenever needed. That spirit of sharing and support is exactly what the Rochester Corvette Club family is all about.

2026 is shaping up to be an exciting and fun year! By the end of January, all four of our Club’s Signature Events will be reserved and booked. We also have a Breakout Cruise planned for the end of April, which is currently being finalized.

There are other exciting events we are working on to bring to our members. We are in communication with Corvettes at Carlisle to have a Club Tent area for our members to congregate and park together. I will once again be reaching out to the Tonawanda Engine Plant in Buffalo to explore the possibility of a plant tour in 2026. And another Poker Run is in the early planning stages.

Please continue to check the Club calendar, as it will be updated frequently with fun and exciting events, activities, along with meeting dates.

As our Club continues to grow and move forward, online communication has become our primary way of sharing and receiving information.

Our website allows us to showcase our Club’s history, activities, and membership opportunities. The Members-Only section is a valuable and in-depth resource exclusively for our members.

Facebook is another important platform we use to stay connected. The Public Page is available to everyone and gives a glimpse into Club Activities and other Corvette related news. The Members-Only Group Page is an informal way to allow Members to communicate, share their Corvette adventures, ask questions, and to invite members to an event they are personally planning or going to attend.  

The Rochester Corvette Club is a social club made up of like-minded folks who enjoy driving their Corvettes just about as much as they enjoy talking about them. We truly love getting out and having fun, because that’s what our car club is all about! So, grab a few friends, take the top off your Corvette, let the wind blow through your hair, stop for some ice cream, and most importantly, have a blast!

Save the Wave!

Dennis Whitmore
