Dempsey
December 5 Holiday Dinner in Victoria
South Island Director Ron Dempsey and Uplands Golf Club in Oak Bay hosted our first Holiday Dinner in 2 years, with 75 Porsche and European Car enthusiasts in attendance. Over $7,000 was raised for CFAX Santa's Anonymous, helping families in need around the South Island with Christmas presents and food hampers during the festive season. We were fortunate to have Victoria residents Chris and John Beresford (pictured below with Garth and Ron) present over dinner, recounting their adventures in the 2018 Peking to Paris Rally in a 1958 VW Beetle. Incredible scenery, variable roads and amazing endurance for over 30 days made for an amazing journey - and inspired more than a few folks in attendance to plan something in 2022, albeit less ambitious! Feedback from the event was tremendous, so mark the first Sunday in December 2022 on your calendars, and details will be shared next fall.
