Welcome to the official website of the Rancho Murieta Corvettes. Established in 2008, Rancho Murieta Corvettes is comprised of resident owners of Corvettes within the community of Rancho Murieta, about 30 minutes south and east of Sacramento along Jackson Road. The club was originated to promote the driving experience as well as the social aspect of Corvette ownership.
Rancho Murieta Corvettes History
Rancho Murieta Corvettes was the brain-child of Dewayne B. and Mike W. in the spring/early summer of 2008. Shortly therafter, Mike S. joined those two, and the Club was born. Many ideas were laid out, and it soon became apparent that we were on to something special.
Beginning in August of 2008, the three "Founding Fathers" started meeting regularly every Monday afternoon to hammer out the foundation of the Club. Bylaws were written, Officer Duty Statements were formulated, a logo was designed, and a bank account, Post Office Box, and web page were obtained. We worked with Chalice to produce shirts and hats bearing our name and logo.
On November 2, 2008, we held a membership drive in the Rancho Murieta Association parking lot. The weather cooperated, and we had an impressive turn-out. Prospective members were more than eager to join the club, and all of our apparel sold out! It seems that Rancho Murieta Corvette owners have been hungry for such a club for a long time.
The intended purpose, it is said, of the club was to meet at “The Bean”, a local coffee shop, to talk about cars and the members could trade stories and have conversations about Corvettes. This is up for conjecture. As it turned out a “first event” was organized and it happened to be a toy run for a local charity to Sunrise Mall. We met at Mather Airport, after driving from “The Bean” and proceeded to Sunrise Mall at various speeds and went to the car show in the parking lot where one of our members won a trophy for his early model car. Since then there have been roughly 8-10 events per year and the club has evolved into a very social club for both men and women. It has been noted that the club is a really social club with a very expensive initiation fee.
