What a summer! I hope you were able to survive the heat, monsoons and tropical storm. Dana and I were able to get away to visit family and also spend some time in north Idaho and Colorado. We are glad to be back and am heading out today on our Yosemite tour with our LVR group.
Our first Mix & Mingle was a huge success. We had 45 members socializing and having a good time at the Bella Vida. Our next one is planned for September 19th, at the 2-La Neta Cocina and Lounge in downtown Summerlin. A special thanks to Martha and Randy Burba for organizing these fun events. See you there!

I hope that you are beating the heat and staying cool this summer. We had some technical issues with our newsletter/website, and have decided to combine the July and August Desert Drives. Let’s just call it the SUMMER ISSUE!
First Lady Dana and I spent a week in Palm Springs while attending the PCA Porsche Parade in June. When gathering the names of LVR attendees I was amazed at the number of members I had never met before! So, we planned a “Starlight Winedown” for our region members and friends. It was great to see many of the 38 members that attended the Parade, and meet some for the first time. We had a fantastic time. I Love a Parade! See our Parade write-up and pictures in this issue.
Memorial Day weekend was very busy for the club. We ran our three-day High Performance Driver’s Education event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. The weather cooperated [...]

The inaugural event saw an impressive turnout of vintage Porsches, each one a masterpiece of automotive history. From the iconic 911s to the classic 356s, the variety of models on display delighted car enthusiasts and intrigued passersby.
The vibrant atmosphere was further enhanced by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. Attendees enjoyed delicious cups of coffee while bonding over their shared love for these magnificent machines.
