SPECIAL MESSAGES:
The annual Holiday Party on Friday was "best one ever".
Those are not my words…I’ve heard that statement relayed to me from countless
members who obviously had a terrific evening! More details below in "The
Rearview Mirror".
We’ve got a new type of event spinning up, after a couple of
successful tests this past Fall. The Social team has come up with a Wine Social
event on January 17. It’s wine tasting at its best, to afford lots of
socializing and discussing different types of wine. More details will be posted
on the website calendar this week with registration to follow on club registration.net.
This may become a quarterly event, if members show continued interest.

Annual Meeting at Rudy’s on North Lamar
In The Rearview Mirror
Dec 4 December GTG at Rudy’s on 620
We
had a huge turnout this morning at Rudy’s, despite gray and overcast skies.
About 30 cars showed up and tons of drivers and passengers. I met two new
members: Steve joined just this morning and beat a path out to Rudy’s
to join us! Ian is 18, a senior at Austin HS, and bought his 987 Boxster just a
few months ago…he’s an entrepreneur running two businesses already! Welcome
Steve and Ian!
Dec 3 Porsches & Coffee at Werks 11
A
bunch of us ran up to Troy, TX yesterday to check out the new digs for Julian
and the team at Werks 11. In short, it’s a great facility that they’ve
acquired. Everything is set up and staged, almost like an assembly plant
process. The more complete the car, the closer it resides to the front of the
building. Paint booth and engine work is in-house now, so Werks 11 is that
one-stop shop for all your restoration and maintenance needs. The new facility
sits about 5 miles north of the previous location, just off IH-35.
Dec 2 Holiday Party
As I
mentioned above, great party on Friday night! We had about 130 in attendance,
in a much better space than we’ve had in recent years. Food and beverage
selections were excellent. Lakeway PD showed up just as dinner was winding
down, and collected so many Toys For Tots that we filled up two SUV patrol
vehicles. Many thanks to all who contributed with their unwrapped gift! Our
silent auction and raffles brought in about $4,500, which will go toward our
two charities we support: Texas Burn Survivors Society and Texas Ramps. A
special note of thanks to all our donors and sponsors: Hi-Tech Motorcars,
Porsche Austin, Porsche South Austin, XPEL Austin, GT International, and Tom
Emr ( donations from the Tom Erdmann collection). Best ever Holiday Party, most
attendees, and most money raised for our charities….nice! Quite nice!
