Activities Notes

In looking at the calendar for April there are so many other things happening that it didn't seem possible to put together a drive with Spring break, Easter, Thunder and all the other Derby events. However, I am certainly up for meeting members at local events such as The Great Steamboat Race or the Balloon Glow. Or, maybe we could take a ride down River Road and have lunch at Captain's Quarters?

Most likely we will schedule a drive on May 25 or 26. Then our Driver's Education (DE) is planned for June 7-9. If you've never been to one of our Driver's Education track events, then this is your chance. It's a lot of safe fun and our Club hosts one of the best in the country, so please join us. It's always sold out, you'll see a lot of really nice fast cars, and meet some really great people. Details are posted on our website's homepage: www.KyPCA.org.

Cars n Coffee is restarting, which is always the second Saturday of each month.

P2O was short for "Porsches to Oxford". However, now it's called "Porsches to Ohio" and it's located in Granville, Ohio east of Columbus. This year it is scheduled for the weekend of July 26- 28. Registration is already open and all the details can be found on our website's link. You can also visit: p2o.morpca.org

Please remember, it's OUR Club. If you have an idea of something fun to do, maybe you'd like to host a party/cookout, have a particular destination that you'd like to drive to, have a charity event idea...please let someone know. There are many members that we don't even know and we'd like to see/hear from you, so please join us at our monthly meetings and come to our events.

Potential Biltmore Estate Overnight Trip. It has been discussed several times over the last year or so that it would be fun to visit the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina. This would require an over-night stay and more planning than usual. If anyone is really serious about going to the Biltmore Estate then please contact me directly.

March 2013 Meeting Minutes

Meeting location: Diorio’s Pizza in St Matthews, 11 March, approximately 20 members attended.

The meeting agenda was brief this month, and the pizza was good.

From The President, Matt Innes: Cars n Coffee has resumed at Captains Quarters. We need more Porsche representation! Bring your cool car every second Saturday of the month between 9-11 am.

From Activities Chair, Steven Rountree: Hopefully a large crowd will RSVP for the group ride to The Overlook in Indiana on Saturday the 23rd. We still need suggestions for a club event in April.

From Vice Pres, Jeremy Miller: A reminder that F1 starts 15 March! The KYPCA DE event dates are set for this year. Check the club newsletter calendar for dates and sign up, or even just come to Putnam Park to hang out. It will be fun.

Membership, Gene Hoffman: We welcome two new members to the club! Gene is taking any suggestions for recruiting and has a flier made up if you have an opportunity to solicit membership, at a car event, for example. Anyone interested in lunch after Cars n Coffee? Yes. Let’s meet up and pick a place to eat and talk more cars after the car show.

Treasurer, Richard Darnell: All good, 43K in the bank! Sadly, no charts.

 

New Activities Committee

New for 2013 it was decided that there should be a Committee to create the Club Events. We now have a party of four: Deborah Schultz, Edgar Smiley, Gene Hoffman (and family), and myself. Please reach out to any of us with your ideas for fun events throughout the year (our numbers are listed on page 2 of every PaceSetter). There are still many Members that we don't even know, so please join us at our Monthly Club Meetings to socialize and plan events. We continue to have great turnouts at our Meetings, we had 29 Members in January, so we hope to see you soon!

Thank you,
