President’s Report November 2015
Saturday, October 10 marked our first annual German Festival and Bourbon Tasting at the beautiful home of Steve and Bernadette Doolin. Their log home set on 10 acres of secluded wood land provided the perfect backdrop to a great evening which included a bonfire, German treats, and a blind bourbon tasting. The 6 bourbons sampled were from distilleries toured during our drives this past year. It was a perfect night, and plans for next year’s event are already under way.
The last planned drive of the year is Saturday, October 17. It is our 14th annual Huber’s Winery Drive. The drive will once again be led by Steve McCombs and as in years past we will meet up with the Central Indiana Region. The weather this time of year is hard to beat, making this a can’t miss drive.
Every October brings with it the need to elect new Club Officers. Only the seats of the President and our Board Members are term limited. As my two-year term as President is coming to an end, it is time to elect a new President. The office of Secretary and one Board position are also being vacated. Hence, at our October meeting a quorum of members elected Steve McCombs the 2016 President. Dan Stewart was elected Secretary. And, Steven Rountree was chosen to round out the Board. All other offices will remain intact.
Discussions for our January Holiday Hangover Party have begun. This will be mid-January as usual and details will follow as things come together.
Lastly, suggestions for meeting locations as we prepare the 2016 calendar are appreciated. Preferred criteria include: a FREE meeting room, good parking for the Porsche, and quality affordable food. Please e-mail me: millermd@twc.com
Our November meeting will be Monday, November 9 at Rooster’s, 10430 Shelbyville Rd. The meeting starts at 7pm, but many arrive as early as 6:30.
