A SHORT HISTORY OF LOWCOUNTRY CORVAIR ASSOCIATION
In the beginning, several Corvair owners knew each other years before a club was formed. The following men attended the National Convention in Atlanta
in the summer of 1980: Andy Johnson, J. Allen Miles, Jon Miller, Lou Fulk and Sam Butler.
In Late Sept. Andy Johnson contacted Hal Warren who owned a Chevrolet Dealership on Dorchester Road and was given permission to meet for a session
with other Corvair owners. This was on Sat. Oct. 4,1980 at 10 am. We voted to form a club, officers were elected, and the name Lowcountry Corvair Association
was chosen.
Persons present were: Lou Fulk (president), Frank Lux (Vice Pres), Andy Johnson (Librarian), Sam Butler (Editor), Jon Miller (Sec./Treas), J.Allen Miles (BOD),
Doug Graham (BOD), Bob Rafferty, John Holiday, Wayne Stewart and Mike McKean.
The name of the newsletter was to be called the AIR COOLED NEWS. Club objectives were desigined by Lou and adopted on that day.
Our monthly meetings were held on the first Thurs of the month at the Sand Dollar room at Sears mall in N. Charleston.
Later in 1981 we joined the Corvair society of America and asssigned Chapter 294. A new constitution and by-laws were written in
accordance with CORSA guidlines. CORSA dues were $14.00 yearly and LCA dues were $6.00 for single and $8.00 for family.
By Oct of 1981 we had over 20 members and had $430.00 in our treasury. To this day we still exist long after other clubs have become defunct.
The Sandlappers in Columbia, SC and Corsavanah in GA are two examples near to home.
LONG LIVE LOWCOUNTRY CORVAIR ASSOCIATION.
