November 2017 President’s Report

President’s Report November 2017
Jason Miller – KY Region President

Saturday, October 7 marked the third annual German Festival and Bourbon Tasting at the beautiful home of Steve and Bernadette Doolin. This has truly become one of my favorite, if not my favorite, events of the year. The light rain and cooler temperatures kept a few away, but new faces joined the party. It was a nice relaxing outdoor evening with great friends, good food, bourbon, and new this year – live music. 7 bourbons were blindly sampled and much to my surprise, Maker’s Mark won the night. I suggest placing this event on your 2018 calendar, tentatively the first Saturday in October.

Thursday, October 19 “Car Wars” hosted by Patrick Strehl displaced many a new car on the Blue Grass Porsche lot with some fantastic race cars and other sought after collectables. And, although my schedule did not permit attendance this year, I am told this was the largest crowd to date. Here’s to hoping Patrick keeps this tradition going as well.

Sadly, October brought the end of our official driving schedule. We closed out the season Saturday, October 28 with the annual Huber’s Winery Drive, joining both the Central Indiana and Southern Indiana Regions. It was cold! But, the fall colors this time of year make a leisurely drive through the Knobs very enjoyable.

October also brought with it the need to elect Club Officers. Only the seats of the President and our three Board Members are term limited. As the first year of this term comes to an end, I have agreed to fulfill the optional 2nd year. A quorum, presiding at our October membership meeting, decided to keep the remaining elected officers intact as well – VP, Jeremy Miller; Treasure, Richard Darnell; Secretary, Robert Klein, Board Member, Jim Doll. Bobby Bailey assumes the Web Chair position. And, T.H. Morris and Anthony Minstein remain as Activity and Membership Chair respectively. Steven Rountree and Ed Hessel depart as their 2-year terms as Board Members come to an end. We will elect 2 new Board Members at the November membership meeting.

SAVE THE DATE – our January Holiday Hangover Party will be Saturday, January 13. Details will follow as things come together.

Lastly, as we prepare the 2018 calendar, suggestions for our monthly membership meetings and other club related activities are appreciated. Preferred meeting location criteria include: a FREE meeting room, good parking for the Porsche, and quality affordable food. Please e-mail me: [email protected].

Our November meeting will be Monday, November 13 at Rooster’s, 10430 Shelbyville Rd. The meeting starts at 7pm.

PCA Test Drive

Join PCA Test Drive

Don’t own a Porsche yet? PCA Test Drive might be for you!

Although membership in PCA requires ownership/lease of a Porsche or that you be in a Porsche-related business, we do offer something for those of you actively trying to become Porsche owners.

The PCA Test Drive program provides you a six-month subscription to Porsche Panorama, the club’s national monthly magazine, and a temporary account to log on to our website. The magazine provides you with news and feature stories covering all aspects of Porsche as well as technical articles that impart valuable information about the cars we drive. Crucially, the temporary website account gives you online access to hundreds of Porsches for sale by PCA members in The Mart, which is also featured in every issue of Panorama.

Although PCA Test Drive is not a full membership in PCA and does not entitle you to some member benefits (such as attending member-only events, voting, or becoming a member of a Region), Regions may welcome guests and you are encouraged to contact your local PCA Region.

PCA Test Drive is $40 for a six-month subscription (renewable). The fee is non-refundable and cannot be applied toward a membership in whole or in part should you acquire a Porsche and join PCA prior to the expiration of the six-month subscription.
