We conducted our February monthly meeting at our usual “home”, The Lakehouse Wine, Bar & Grill on the second Tuesday. The weather was quite nice, and everybody was glad that we were able to get our Porsches safely back on the road after all those snow events. Due to the shorter daylight, we started our outside gathering at 5:30 pm. The Porsche Corral was well “populated” (please see photo) and there were over 35 PCA members and friends in attendance.
Kathy and Kavitha are enjoying the Porsche corral.
As usual, we had a brief introduction by the LKN area’s favorite AD (well since there is only one…) sharing a few updates, such as DE at CMP, Autocross, planned LKN area drive in March.
After a delicious dinner (I have not had anything at the Lakehouse yet that I did not like), Paul Kaperonis with Hagerty gave his presentation (please see photo) with Steven assisting
Since we missed the January issue, here is Hal Harper, the winner of the January grand prize. Tracy is displaying the Porsche sign he bought (Bob Hintze sold a few items) for his personal Porsche museum with a few of his friends (Martin, Quentin, Jim, Jeff, and Christian). We raised $390 for our charity in January.
Paul updated the captive audience on market values of our favorite vehicles as well as some exotics (e.g. 918s, GTs, 959s etc.). He also gave us an overview of Hagerty products such as cherished value (for a little extra fee the client will receive the damaged car for full residual use even if the insurance totaled the car).We conducted our always popular raffle after dinner. We raffled off many nice items purchased with the AD stipend such as cups, mugs, hats, bags, coasters, umbrellas, etc. We now added items from Griot’s Garage and they are enjoying tremendous popularity!
The grand prize was a Porsche crest engraved bottle of Scotch (donated by Jeff Matthews) and an oil change at LKN Auto Exchange (thanks John!). We raised $465.00 for the children and families supported by Children’s Hope Alliance in Barium Springs.
Our February grand prize winner was Fabio Diaz who had bought $40 worth of tickets (he obviously increased his odds).
PCA members certainly enjoyed themselves at the event Just look at this handsome bunch
