The general meeting of the Porsche Club of America for the month of August in the year. 1966 was held on the evening of August 8, 1966. Meeting was held at our new place, Alexandria Avenue School situated at 4211 0akwood Ave. in L.A., Calif. On hand was a full house of Porsche Pushers, a full slate of officers and a spacious parking lot filled (amply spaced) with a variety of ~e Cars." The meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. with J.ohn Bevan presiding. The meeting followed this pattern: i. Minutes of the July meetlng were approved by the members as they appeared in the August issue of PORSCHERAMA. 2. .~..A.ct.ivlties..Chairman.--Miles Jackson stated that the Post ?arade Party was a huge success. In all a total of 87 dinners were served to a bunch of hungry "Pushers" with appetites sharpened by an afternoon of swimming, vol].eyball, pool (pocket variety), sitting and watching and gabbing. He asked that we went on record to thank the Hawkins for their gracious hospitality. Gary Kious was asked to give a pitch for the August event which he is putting on. The Levent will of course be a G~ick type rally as stated on the calendar. The event will be a saturday one and an evening one as well. The Rally will be held on 8-27-66 with first car going out at 7:30 p.m. The starting point is at the South Bay Shopping .Center. Rally will last about 3~ hours. It will b~ open to all. Porsches and the fee will be $2. John McNeil was then asked to talk about the September event. The ¯ event is a DriverWs School slated for a well lald out track complete with stands and all. John explained that a maximum of 40 cars had to be set so that all drivgrs could really get a thorough schooling in the art of high speed driving. If more than 40 cars slgn, a second session will be held very soon. First come first you know what -- so-et signed up as soon as the circular gets around. The fee will be 4.50 per car, each car with a maximum of two drivers. Extra drivers

A "Sports Car 01ympic" will be held.over the Labor Day Weekend up in Squaw Valley, home of the recent winter games. Many Interesting events are on tap. Competition points were not available in a CU~Tent fo~m since official points from the llth Parade had not ye~ arrived. 5. Technical Committee-. Don Morris stood in for Curt Kuebler who could n6t’"’make it to the meetin6. Don expressed thanksfor the excellent attendance to the Tech Sessions held as always, every fourthWednesday of each month. He hopes man~ more willcome on the fourth Wednesday of August at 8:00 p.m. The place is. at 11650 Santa Monlca Blvdo in West L.A. (4 blocks from the San Diego Freeway.)
’4. Editor - PORSCHERA~ John McNeil a~ked for plenty of copy for the comi~g issue. Anythi~g’o~ general interest will be welcomed. It’s your paper so why not "by-line" an article or two. 5. Secretary - Breathing heavily between a badly placed noun and a brace of poorly spelled words your secretary gasped that he had nothing to say. He was last seen plunging back into the mangled page. 6. Treasurer - Harold Semans reports that PCA-LA has a total of $660.62 on hand. He requested that members having name badges ordered but not yet picked up please do so. He announced that he now has PCA car badges available again for anyone interested. He went on to say that anyone wishing to stay around after each meeting to "shoot the breeze" please do so only after his car is taken out of the parking lot. The Custodian assigned to our meetings must leave at 10:30 at the "latest. Question was then asked from the floor as to what was olanned for the balance as announced. John Bevan answered the question by stating that the Board recognized the size of the bank balance and had and is giving serious consideration to ~hich way it could be out to the. best use for the benefit of all PCA-LA members. More on this subject will be coming soon from the Board. 7. Vice-President - Norm Sandusky in the role of our statistician announced that to date 32% of the members have turned in their completed "profile~ He hoped that more are coming in soon. It would take double that number to arrive at a meaningful compilation of facts and figures. The future of the direction of club activities of all nature will hinge on the response from the questionaire. Norm asked how the members liked the new meeting place. very pleased.
All seemed
In the role of Chairman of the Christmas Party, Norm was able to announce that the date (I~-3-66) and the place (La Mirada Country Club) are now firm. Party will be limited to i00 guests. October will be a cut-off date if more express a desire to attend. A question was asked from the floor on why the limit of guests. Norm answered by stating that that is all the hall will hold and that past experiences showed that it is hardly likely that the number of I00 will be passed. As of now the shindig will go at about $6-~7 per person, this including a band. 8. Introduction of guests - all guests in attendance were then introduced. 9. Old Business - There was no old business on hand to discuss. A valiant effort was made to discuss the blazer situation, but the mirth quickly placed this subject out of order. lO. New Business - Question was asked from the floor if the Rally to L~g~n~-~ca is st~ll slated as part of driving up to the races in November. There was no interest in the membership for this part of th~ package so it will only be a Caravan up. Lyle Arnold volunteered to pick a meeting place for the starting point for those interested in driving up in a body. He will reoort later on his efforts. Laguna Seca is on Oct. 15-16, 1966. Ffforts will be made to set aside a number of motel rooms.

Announcemen~.s - Nick announced that the "HULEN 1958", newly acquired by’a new owner, recently won a first in a Slalom. Ray, who was,present didn’t seem to mind. Next Board meeting will be held on the first Tuesday of September (9-6-66) instead of the usual MondaY. Place will be at the Bevan’s home and the time will be at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome but as usual please call first so we know how many to expect. 12. President speaks - John explained that the end of the year is comln~ fast and asked that all members give serious thought to their particular role in the club and how best they might, serve our mutual interests. He hoped that many would express a desire to serve in some official capacity. He ended this discussion by expounding the "Joys" of serving in this manner. 13. Entertainment -. Norm announced that we would be treated to a couple of ro~Is of color film taken enroute and at the recent llth Parade.
The meeting was adjourned for coffee break at 8:58 p.m. Meeting was called back to order at 9:20 p.m. The films were shown and they were as could be expected; very interesting.

Lubrication~ An old point worth repeating. Be sure that the front suspension of your 356 series is unwelghted during lubrication. 0nly in this way will the Job be effective. With weight on the suspension, the grease can not be forced into all the vital friction points. If you do your own work, clean up the fittings after as well as before the lube - and while you’re at it - wipe off any grease that may have gotten on ~ubber parts. Grease and oil rot rubber.
