Just a note to let you know that Ernie Kinney passed away suddenly on Nov. 3rd 2008. He left me with his 1986 944 Porsche. He loved this car and now I have no choice but to sell it. He used to run it on the race track at Mid-Ohio. It has the special seat belts and a roll bar and it is in excellent condition. Do you know of anyone interested in such a Porsche? I want to sell it before I make plans to move back up to Ohio sometime in the future.

Will you please get the word out about this car? I'm sure someone out there would be interested and I would love to see it go to someone who would appreciate it.
My name is Sally Kochis. Thank you for your time.
My phone number is 239-948-3267.

PCA Everglades Fourth Quarter Board Meeting

October 24, 2009


Meeting was called to order by Bill Hutchens at 9:40 a.m.
Present were Bill Hutchens, Pete Chehayl, Gary Karnes, Carla Boggess, Richard Newton, Ron Howard, Greg Biehl, Elly Bloksma, Chris and Jenny Branston.

The following items of business were addressed:

Old Business:

Bill Hutchens will order additional marketing cards for distribution as the supply is running low.

Elly Bloksma reminded the Board of the importance of a questionnaire for the membership regarding the planning of future club activities. Upcoming events include the Ocktoberfest dinner to be held this evening at The Old European Bistro in Naples. November 14th is the Wine Tasting and Pot Luck to be hosted by Faith and Steve Wassersug.

The Christmas Party will be held at the Strand on December 5th. Elly and Debbie Uronis went to the Strand this past week and selected the menu. Pete Chehayl will be coordinating the contract and payment for this event. There is a $300 deposit. Debbie Uronis will be provided a list of reservations and entrée selection for preparation of coded name tags to reflect entrée selection. T-shirts will be sold at the Christmas party. Toys collected at the Christmas Party will be donated again this year to St. Matthews House with the possibility of selecting another charity next year. It was brought up that a collection of toiletry samples could also be donated to St. Matthews House. Bill Hutchens will deliver the toys after the Christmas party. Gary Karnes will prepare and distribute the reservation forms for the February 6th Cars on Fifth event at the Christmas Party. Bill Hutchens will extend an invitation from the Board to Derek and Misty Bell.

Gary Karnes discussed the Cars on Fifth event. He is looking for 400 cars at $25 per car registration. The event benefits charity.

Carla Boggess arranged the violinist, Vivian Aiello of Seaside Strings (which has subsequently been confirmed on November 4th) for the Christmas Party. Ms. Aiello is sending the contract and customary $150 deposit request to Pete Chehayl.

Treasurer’s Report was given by Pete Chehayl with $8,468.32 at the end of September.

New Business:

Greg Biehl advised that he is in the process of updating the website and suggested the addition of an interactive access for Board members. The access will be egrpca@gmail.com This will facilitate a central location for membership coordination, event distribution and management, RSVPs, and the sale of T-shirts. The tentative date for the website to be up and running is the second to third week of November. The update of membership is 207 primary members and 167 affiliate members for a total of 374 members.

Bill Hutchens made a motion that the officers remain the same for the upcoming year. Carla Boggess seconded the motion, and the vote passed. All of the 2009 officers will be candidates for office again in 2010.

Richard Newton advised the Board that the Breakfast Club is scheduled through 2010.

Motion to adjourn by Bill Hutchens at 10:30 am, seconded by Pete Chehayl.

Wine Tasting

Nov. 14, 2009, 7.oo pm

Faith and Steve Wassersug are hosting this event (phone 239 822 4338 or cell 239 281 0052) Address see at mapquest:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Fort+Myers&state=FL&address=14620+Fair+Haven+Rd&zipcode=33908

Please note: this is not our usual pot luck dinner. It’s a wine and cheese party with coffee and cookies after.

Please bring

1. one bottle of your favorite wine in a paper bag, so we can’t see the label

2. some information about the wine (Google may help, Total Wine has printed sheets about the wines they sell, Wine Journal, etc)

3. Some cheese of your choice (we’ll provide the crackers)

The idea is to group 3-5 bottles of each different wine varietal, like Chardonnay, Pinot, Syrah, etc. You can go to the group who is tasting the wine varietal you like best. Each group will do a blind tasting and rate their favorite wine from the group. It's probable that everyone can taste the wines in at least 2 groups. Finally every group will report something about their favorite wine selection: why they liked it, where it's from, tasting notes, the price, etc. We'll leave the party with a list of Everglades Region Porsche Club's favorite wines.

Faith and Steve will provide wine glasses, crackers, and some fruit and cookies and coffee for dessert.

Please sign up for this event directly with Faith: Faith.Leavitt@Getf.org

OKTOBERFEST DINNER Oct. 24, 2009

We held an Oktoberfest Dinner on Saturday, October 24th, at the Old Europe Bistro in Naples. They had a special Oktoberfest menu that everyone enjoyed. It was a nice evening in the Biergarten. Twenty members were in attendance. The youngest was Connor Biehl who was about to turn four months old. He tried the Paulaner, but did not like it. Well, at least he is a Flying Lizard fan, so I guess we'll forgive him. The member who traveled the furthest was from the Atlanta area.

Porsche Rally October 18th 2009

9.00 am and the parking lot was full of Porsches in every color!

How amazing after record breaking highs the temperature was record breaking low -but the spirits and enthusiasm were high. The Bonita Springs Regional Park was a pretty setting for the start. After coffee and cake the intrepid rally folk set off. Several missed the first left turn! Oh well they did not seem to miss the clues!
The first stop was the FP Franklin Lock and Dam where rare eagles were spotted and a boat went through the lock. Shortly afterwards everyone assembled at Eden Winery to look at the quaint vineyard and collect a bottle of locally grown wine.

On through La Belle and along the North shore of the Caloosahatchee river. where there are a number of parks and walking opportunities.
A sprint along the road past the Babcock Ranch and a left at the famous blinking light led everyone to Punta Gorda and a well deserved lunch stop at Bennedettos in the Best Western . No one was lost!We valiantly tried to eat outside but a kind waiter took pity on us fighting the increasing wind and we reassembled inside! We could still see and enjoy Charlotte Harbor.
Michael and Jenny Lenzner were the overall winners – and prizes were given to the next eight runners-up. Everyone said they had had a good time and were keen to do another Photo Rally !

Breakfast Club August 8, 2009

Thanks again to Len Uronis for these pics from the Brekafast Club at Naples Motorsports on August 8, 2009. Thanks to Todd and the whole staff at Naples Motorsports for hosting us. I guess no one bought a car that morning because I never got a prime rib dinner (Todd said if anyone bought a car at the Breakfast Club he would buy a prime rib dinner for everyone there). The next breakfast club is on September 12th at the DeLorean Motor Company in Bonita Springs.
