A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BRCC

I would like to take this opportunity to WELCOME you to our website.  This is a good time to introduce you to the history of the BRCC.  BRCC was started in May of 1972. A checking account was opened at Louisiana National Bank in the amount of $63.33. The first treasurer was James Moody. The articles of incorporation for the club were drawn up on May 8, 1975 and the club was incorporated that same year. The President at that time was Tony Pittman. The January 1977 meeting had 17 members in attendance, with a membership of 52. The club was N.C.C.C. sanctioned from 1979 till December 1982. Membership dues in 1979 were $18/year with a $10 initiation fee. Dues went to $36/year in 1990, and $50/year in 2001.  All Star Chevrolet became BRCC's sponsor in April of 2000.  The club's newsletter has been published as Corvette Connection since July 1, 1982.   The club posted its first web site on the Internet in April of 2003. The current Webmaster is Ron Bailey.  The first women president was Maria McLin in 2002 and 2003.  Board members went from the original number of three to six in 2003.   

The BRCC held its first major car show benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in October of 1998. The show is held annually, with the exception of 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina.  In 2006, the show was held in April.  As of the 2008 show, the club has raised over $177,000 for the children of St. Jude.  Members Joe & Faye Collettie and Jeff &  Pat Travasos founded the show. 

We are a Baton Rouge, Louisiana based club of Corvette enthusiasts. We meet twice a month; we attend car shows, benefits and make trips LMC (last minute cruise) to areas of interest. We invite all Corvette enthusiasts and their families to join us and participate in the camaraderie. Anyone with an interest in Corvettes is welcome to join us.

St. Jude Open Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show

To A Check to St. Jude Children's Hospital

"A Labor of Love"

The 11th show was held April 25th, 2009.  We had in excess of 180 cars, trucks, and motorcycles registered. We are proud of the fact that with this car show BRCC has raised and donated in excess of $177,000 to St.Jude Children's Research Hospital where hope and understanding is given to children and parents from all over the world and no child is ever turned away because they can not afford to pay for treatments.  Thanks to every company and individual that has helped in any way to make this a successful event.

CLUB EVENTS

BRCC has an annual Christmas party for its members, which begins with dinner and usually ends in total mayhem in a game of Chinese gift exchange.  We also have an annual Crawfish Boil, Halloween Party, and a Christmas in July Party at members houses.  These parties have good food and are usually more fun than you can imagine.

BRCC tries to maintain a very close relationship with the other Corvette Clubs in Louisiana, and the entire state.  Several BRCC members are also members of other Corvette clubs.  Many of our club members have visited the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY, bought bricks and memberships at the museum, and toured the Corvette plant or picked up their new cars at the plant.  Many members of BRCC also participate in parades, homecomings, and other local events. BRCC owns a brick at the National Corvette Museum.
