September 2024 President’s Message

Is it really September already? The summer seems to fly by faster every year.

Much of my August was focused on the work that goes on behind the scenes so you can enjoy the events. David and I both help with the set-up of Werks Reunion which takes an entire day. This year I filled in for the Volunteer Coordinators, Kirk & Carolyn Doberenz, at the event. I spent most of the actual event at the volunteer tent / information booth but I had a perfect view of the corral and was right next to the 356’s and Spyders. A very nice view for the day. The cars were spectacular as always but I go for the Porsche friends I meet as well. My station was right off the Porsche corrals so I had the perfect opportunity to see everyone as they arrived. I saw so many old friends and had a chance to meet some new ones as well. Just a perfect day.

That following week was all about the 55th Anniversary Social. I think I spent part of everyday getting things ready. It was so rewarding to see how much you all enjoyed the event.

Big thanks to Kurt Fischer for organizing the Nickle & Nickle event. I was thinking 10AM was a bit early to taste wine but it worked out just fine. Bruce Mooers was a perfect host and their wine is enjoyable anytime of the day or night.

I have aways enjoyed the weekend tours. I am looking forward my 1st Murphys Tour later this month. I know Jeff has a full schedule of activities to keep us busy.

We have another opportunity for a weekend tour. Is anyone interested in joining us in Mendocino the 1st weekend of November? SVR has done a tour on this weekend as long as I can remember. Redwood used to do a tour and meet up with them for joint activities. David and I would like to revive that event. Let us know if you are interested.

Summer may be coming to a close but we still have plenty of Redwood events left for 2024.

Come on out and join in the fun. Hope to see you soon.
