From the President’s Desk,
After an action-filled September we have been able to kick back a little in the first half of October.
Michael Dugan, our Treasurer, has been organizing our monthly Brunch held at Red Rock Country Club. A shout-out to Mike for always taking care of the details. We want to thank David Soyk from Gaudin Porsche for his insight of the sales and service of our cherished Porsches. David was our guest speaker at the October brunch.
Our Drive Meister, Salomon Braun, is back in the country and was planning an October 22nd day drive to Overton. After weeks of perfect weather, the gods of the wind decided to raise a ruckus. Due to blowing dust, Salomon made the wise decision to cancel the drive as a PCA event. A few brave souls were not to be denied and ventured up the road anyway.
On October 28th, Meet and Greet with the [...]

September 17th was a perfect day in Las Vegas with blue sky, 90 degrees and a slight breeze. AUTOFEST has become a can’t-miss annual event featuring the largest collection of interesting vehicles in Las Vegas. Our LVR Corral, plus other Porsches parked throughout the fairways numbered close to 100!
PORSCHE OWNERS ROCK!

From the President’s Desk,
It is so nice to have the extreme heat behind us. I find myself more eager to tinker with the cars and get caught up on yard maintenance. The Boxster with the top down has been my ride of choice lately. I consider a short drive with the wind in my hair as good therapy.
We had a very enjoyable brunch last month. We had a good turnout because of our A-lister guest speaker, Phil Reese. He promised us a 5-hour speech, but short-changed us after about 25 minutes. We were captivated with the presentation of great stories of his years of experience with Porsches. Also, he shared stories of his many years with drag racing in California. After taking care of all of the autograph seekers, we were all free to go home to watch the opening week of NFL.
A highlight of September was AUTOFEST. The show was massive [...]

From the President’s Desk,
I hope everyone is enjoying our Las Vegas “dry heat”. Of course, those of you who are reading this from cooler temperatures are chuckling! We are looking forward to YOUR migration back to Las Vegas.
It gives me great sadness to report that two of our beloved members, Donald Goldberg and Carol “Cookie” Scanlon-Goldberg, died in a tragic plane crash at the North Las Vegas Airport. Barbara Barron, our VP and I had a nice visit with them at July’s brunch. They were so excited to fly their Piper to Couer d”Alene Idaho that week. Both were experienced pilots and flew extensively. I asked Cookie if she and Donald would be interested in being featured in the September issue of Desert Drives “Meet the Members”. She was excited about sharing some photos of her own plane and her matching Porsche. They were such a lovely couple and will be sorely missed.
