Prez’s Corner

by Andy Winterbottom, President

We just enjoyed our California Central Coast Region Holiday Party at the San Luis Obispo Country Club on December 3rd. One hundred CCCR members attended as well as representatives from Porsche-Santa Barbara and Porsche-San Luis Obispo. Many Thanks to Sanja Brewer for again organizing our annual Holiday Party. Raffle gifts were contributed by Bob Kitamura (our esteemed Coastalaire Editor), Porsche-Santa Barbara and The Stable (formerly SGS Independent Porsche Care) [members Brian Pritt, Guy and Alice Ober]. Brian, Guy and Alice weren't able to attend because of competing Holiday Parties. This will be my last missive for the President's Corner as I am being "promoted" to the Past President status. I will continue to attend the monthly CCCR Board of Directors meetings because I can sit back, listen and watch our new and improved 2023 Board in session. I want to thank each and every 2021 and 2022 CCCR Board Member for their contributions and making a great team in my humble opinion; especially considering that we had to operate our region activities under the constraints of COVID. To the best of my knowledge, we had no epidemic transmission due to CCCR activities.

Your 2023 California Central Coast Region of the Porsche Club of America Board of Directors are:

President - Joe Shubitowski Vice President - Bob Bruington Secretary - Carol Walker Treasurer - Bill Chadwick Membership Director - Sanja Brewer Activities Director - Gil Igleheart Safety Director - Jeff Bartel Autocross Director - Chuck Jennings Drivers Education Events - Bob Bruington Mark Schilling Webmasters - Scot Burns Joe Shubitowski Coastalaire Editor - Bob Kitamura Directors at Large - Ron Green Joe Kuntz

I also want to sincerely thank our 700 member strong California Central Coast Region for participating and supporting our volunteer organization. You are invited to attend our 6pm, first Wednesday of the month, board meetings (please pre-notify either Carol or Sanja of your intention to attend). We appreciate your feedback on our activities and organization whenever you see "room for improvement". One of our members recently provided valuable suggestions on how to improve our New Members Barbeque event recognition of our “New Members.” Excellent advice.

Happy Holidays! and Till we meet again,

Andrew W.
