Prez’s Corner

by Andy Winterbottom, President

This is being written November 12th. after having enjoyed a very successful New Members (any and all members for that matter) Bar-B-Q. We had approximately 140 guest members at the estate of Jason and Bonnie Len. Parking was free also. The food and drinks were seriously good and everybody seemed to be having a fun time. Gil Igleheart and Carol Walker were responsible for the success of this event. We had the General Manager and the Sales Manager from the new Porsche-San Luis Obispo join the party; they plan a "soft" opening this coming week of November 14th and a Grand Opening early next year. I mentioned to them that they were in a target-rich area. At the suggestion of Guy Ober (The Stable, formerly SGS), we had checks ready for donations to the National Muscular Dystrophy Association. We presented a generous check from Guy Ober/ The Stable and from our California Central Coast Region on behalf of Jason and Bonnie for the National MS Association, a favored charity of Jason and Bonnie. The planned November 19th event: Drive and Dine to Rustic Fire in Paso Robles has been rescheduled due to possible conflict with another Paso Robles event. Next, we have the annual CCCR Christmas/Holiday Party December 3rd at the San Luis Obispo Country Club. Sanja Brewer has planned another fantastic event with live music and dancing along with your choice of Prime Rib, Salmon or Polenta. We will run a raffle for prizes and there will be many winners. Our guests will include representatives from Porsche of Santa Barbara and Porsche of San Luis Obispo and Lori DeCristo, our Porsche Club of America Zone 8 Representative will attend as well. The newly elected CCCR Board of Directors for 2023 will be announced at this party. Another "Drive and Dine" event is scheduled for December 10th leaving from the new Porsche San Luis Obispo (on Los Osos Valley Road) ending up at the “newish” Brook's Burgers near Tank Farm and Higuera. Our Chuck Jennings knows the proprietors and recommends them. I just received my latest Coastalaire Print Version in the mail today; thank you, Bob Kitamura. Our region is among the fewer remaining PCA regions who still publish a print version of their monthly magazine. I believe this is a significant advantage to our members and our advertisers. More kudos to "Kit".

Sincerely, Andrew W.
