Toy Drive Recap

By Reid Smith

Thanks to all of you who contributed toys at our December 8th Brunch. As you remember, we advertised the toy drive as donations to Toys for Tots. Our guest for the brunch was to be a representative from Toys for Tots, but he did not attend. 

Marnie Cameron found a deserving local charity in need: “Unfortunately, after trying to contact the Toys for Tots representative, I never received a returned call. So, I reached out to the Clark County Foster Kids program who are currently running a Toy drive. They happily accepted all the toys collected and they will go to kids currently in the county foster program – about 3,700”. 

We think we have found a good charity for next December!

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK – January 2025

THANK’S FOR A WONDERFUL THREE YEARS!

As I pack my bags and head off into the presidential sunset, I want to thank everyone for helping our club grow to what it is today. Two milestones that were very rewarding were our 50th Anniversary celebrations and our club membership passing the 1000 mark! My new (and old) friendships will last forever and I am looking forward to participating in many of our outstanding activities in the coming years. 

Gary Lea, our new President, along with an incredible Board will continue our progress. Let’s all give them our support and everything they need to move our club forward!

Thanks for the flowers and cake at the December Brunch!

Reid Smith, Immediate Past President, LVRPCA

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!

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK – December 2024

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 [...]
