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 [...]

From the Archives #29, November 2024

This month, lacking any other good reason, I decided to select a year of our Region’s past for review by pure chance. I have a big jar of pennies (lots and lots of pennies) that I’ve collected for years that I could pick from. Now this jar could contain pennies from 1945 or so (after WWII ended) through the present. I decided that the first penny dated between 1973 and 1994 (the 21 years of printed Sandscript in the LVR archives) that I picked would be the year reviewed for the next couple of months.

Now, you ask, why is this process even mentioned in this column? Well, it’s because it took me 121 tries to get a penny in this year range; I finally got a 1990 coin. I have an MA in math and statistics from Johns Hopkins University, and I’ll tell you that taking this many [...]

Come enjoy an hour or two of getting together with old and new club members. The restaurant has happy hour until 6pm.

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.
