OUR HISTORY

Port City Corvette Club of Charleston was organized in 1993 with five members:

Samuel Smalls, the president. Joseph Grant. Julius Mitchell, Leroy Morrison and James McPherson. Because Charleston is a sea port town, and is called the "Port City", the group decided to name the group Port City Conrette Club of Charleston.

In April of 1993, Port City traveled to Greenville, South Carolina to attend The

International Council of Corvette Clubs. This was Port City's first quarterly meeting. In July, the club took another trip, this time to Huntsville, Alabama where Port City joined and became members of The International Council of Corvette Clubs known as "I Triple C".

In 1994, the club added four new members: Anthony Brown, Earl Coleman. Earl

Johnson and Frank Smith. Along the way, three members (Leroy Morrison, Samuel Smalls and Earl Coleman) decided to leave the group, leaving the club with six members.

In 2003, Betty Gadsden, the first and only female in the club joined, bringing membership to seven.

Since joining The International Council of Corvette Clubs, The Port City Corvette Club has traveled all over the East Coast. Every three months, the club travels to a different state for quarterly meetings. The Port City members are constantly meeting new people, Good People!! making new friends, sharing stories and events with other Corvette owners from all over the country.

 

In 2005, Port City lost two more members (Earl Johnson and Frank Smith) leaving only five members to carry on. But wait, Port City lost two, but within eight months gained fourteen new members including another female. In the fourteen, two old members returned. Port City Corvette Club of Charleston is now nineteen members strong, and still growing.
