A regional Porsche car show benefiting the
Intermountain Cancer Center, St. George
RECAP
By Reid Smith
The first Saturday in November marked an incredible Porsche gathering in St. George, Utah. Many LVR members attended this three-state event that featured over 100 Porsches! The Southern Utah members of the Intermountain Region brought us together to raise funds for Intermountain Cancer Center of St. George. We were treated to a tasty German themed brunch prepared by the hospital staff.
A big thank you to those who made this a fantastic event!

From the President’s Desk,
As I write my last President’s Desk message to you, it is mind-boggling to reminisce of the past 3 years as your President. Through it all, I enjoyed every minute of it. Some have inquired why I have invested a large amount of time in dedication to a car club. My answer is that many people, including me, find satisfaction in helping people less fortunate through donations and time, which is invaluable and a very worthy cause. I’m sure many of us provide support to those in need. But at the same time, everyone, no matter their station in life, needs to experience a sense of community and comradery which is a vital part of the human condition. The Porsche club gives us that chance to develop new friendships and experience rewarding activities together. It is all worth it!
I’m excited about the future of our club as we are approaching [...]

- Comments Off on Members Picnic Recap
By Reid Smith
What a crowd! Our Annual Member Picnic Honoring New Members took place on October 5th. We had a record breaking 89 Members in attendance for our BBQ feast catered by the legendary Road Kill Grill. We were hoping to enjoy mild Fall temperatures but not 100 plus! At least we had plenty of shade under the Pavilion.
Our officers took turns informing everyone about our club activities and members of the Gaudin Porsche team gave updates of the construction on our second Las Vegas Porsche dealership.
