ABOUT US
The Chateau Elan Military Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is supported by over 80+ members and volunteers within the Chateau Elan Community. In 2018, a group of neighbors saw a need and created the Chateau Elan Military Support Foundation (CEMSF) to organize and fund aid supporting military veterans and their families in North Georgia. Since 2019, CEMSF has raised over $300,000 and has served the local military community by providing financial support, basic needs, housing assistance and mental health support. CEMSF is a volunteer-run organization with no paid full-time staff, maximizing the amount spent to support veterans.
OUR MISSION
Chateau Elan Military Support Foundation (CEMSF) serves local veterans and their families in the North Georgia area by functioning as a hub for community resources and providing support for basic needs, housing assistance and mental health support. CEMSF believes that veterans deserve access to essential services they need to rebuild their lives and that no warrior should be left behind.

We have an invite from a former member of LCU – Bert Nagy – who lives very close to Charlotte NC and is now a member of the Queen City club to come to his home for dinner Friday night October 18.

Below is the link for a block of rooms for LCU. We are not sure of the deadline for this price so we suggest you lock in your room now if planning on going. This is the Hampton Inn we stayed at last year. Great place and a great host. Free breakfast. Tim the owner is a member of Queen City Corvettes, and the hotel is about a mile from the show site.

Tours of Mr. Hendrick’s awesome car collection and the engine shop are available. (Not open to the public except for $30 entry fee on these special events)

To reserve your spot we need you to do 3 things:

1st – RSVP on our LCU web site so we know who is going to update any info and a count for restaurants seats.

Cashiers NC - Cruise to Ugly Dog Lunch
2024-09-05 08:00 - 17:00
All, we are changing the date for the trip to the Ugly Dog Tavern in Cashiers to September 5th. Yes, we realize we have a meeting that night, but this date works much better for several club members. Please RSVP with me via email (and When moved on the calendar there also)! Harry and Vicky have a great scenic route planned and will lead us. Meet up details will be provided very soon.

Depart from Bojangles Jefferson GA at 8:00 AM
Exit #137 on I-85 North onto GA-129. Go right at exit and go one block U turn at light to Bojangles on the corner. Two gas stations on opposite corners to fill up. Yes you’ll need close to a full tank round trip.
We will do some back roads from Pendergrass GA to near Dillard GA. We should stop at Sky Valley Overlook on NC-246 for photo op.
With 2 and probably 3 restroom gas stations pit stops and the Overlook stop for 15 minutes for photo ops it is a 3+ hour drive. Thus the 8:00 AM depart time.
After lunch we can visit Dry Falls and maybe Bridal Veil falls two of the many fantastic NC waterfalls. Dry Falls isn’t too strenuous with concrete paved steps and path walk. Bridal Veil is right at edge of road if any parking spots open.
We will go to Ugly Dog in Cashiers NC for lunch which is 18 minutes further from Highlands to Cashiers. Food quality and portions are very good.
After lunch for those who desire we can visit Dry Falls on Hwy 64 E – 4 miles outside downtown Highlands. Fairly easy decent traversing path from parking lot to the waterfall. You can walk behind the waterfall! Not too strenuous to get back up to the cars. Plan is to do waterfalls after lunch for 30-45 minutes before return drive homeward. Other waterfall we pass is Bridal Veil but they no longer allow to drive behind the falls.

For those detail oriented and want to know route details here it is. Vicky and Harry Taylor routed and did this drive in June. Fun to be had. Several roads are very nice curvy for our Corvettes!
We will do back roads from Pendergrass GA on GA-82 and GA-323 to get to GA-985 to GA-441. Then GA-197 and GA-76 to get to just south of Dillard GA. Back again on GA-441/23. Then Hwy 246 to Highlands NC.
We should stop at Sky Valley Overlook on NC-246 for photo op.
Once at Highlands NC ongoing another 18 miles to Cashiers NC. Perhaps also use backroads instead of main route to Cashiers.

19th Annual 4th of July Car Show - Dahlonega
2024-07-04 10:00 - 15:00
Dahlonega Car Club is having their annual show from 10 AM to 3 PM at 150 Courthouse Hill.
If you are going to participate in this show please let Fred know (fletchfb@bellsouth.net) and RSVP on the website once posted.. We will meet up at 7:45 AM at the Carrol Daniel Building and leave for the show at 8:15 AM. By arriving as a group, we can most likely park as a group.
Additional info from Fred and Larry
Some of us have participated in the 4th of July car show in Dahlonega in the past and had a good time and participated in their parade on the square during the car show. This show and parade was a lot of fun with large crowds and lots of kids. For the past few years participation in the parade was not possible due to changes that were made so we lost interest in this show.
Larry has been in touch with the organizer of the show and Larry has been assured that parade participation will be possible this year. By looking at the schedule it looks like we can do it on the way home from the show as it begins as the show ends.
