We had an incredible two-night, three-day FUN-RUN on January 16-18^th. AZPCA and LVR have been reciprocating short tours for the last three years. In April we hosted 25 AZPCA cars for our Magical Mystery Drive to Mt. Charleston followed by the new Henderson Gaudin Porsche dealership tour and reception in the afternoon.

Craig Shanklin, our LVR Southern Utah Director, took fabulous pictures and is writing a recap Fridays activities and Saturday’s drive.

Part II is a recap of two highlights: Our WineDown, hosted by Sue Olds, an AZPCA member (also my sister) on Saturday afternoon and Sunday’s Cars & Coffee, held at Alpio’s event facility.

WineDown was suggested by Sue as an activity that would give LVR members a chance to visit and share some fine wines and charcuterie. It proved to be a wonderful afternoon lasting into the evening! Special thanks to Sue and her friend Kristen Miesel for planning the open house.

Apio’s is known for hosting one of the finest cars & coffee events in the Phoenix area. Located in the upscale Troon Dining, Shopping and Business Park in Scottsdale, Alpio’s hosts a Cars & Coffee every other Sunday morning, which includes up to 200 cars of all marques. He hosted just our Porsche tourers for this event! Besides spending time in the car-oriented showroom, which included live music, we had time viewing unique Porsches ranging from 356 models to a 918 and a GTR 2RS.

Sunday afternoon we joined John and Nita Burrows in getting together with LVR past leaders who have gravitated to Sun City, Arizona. These members have made our club what it is today. A special thanks to AZPCA Drive Meister Frank Grimmelmann for planning a very memorable weekend!
