The real driving<br />
season is done... winter<br />
weather is on the<br />
way... now is the time<br />
for upgrades, maintenance<br />
and storage for<br />
our <strong>Porsche</strong>s, and the<br />
“other” car gets more time on the road.<br />
The RMR/AMR events remaining in the<br />
season will be membership socials and<br />
the annual RMR Holiday party.<br />
Thanksgiving is this month, and we<br />
should all be thankful for what we have!<br />
And please try to remember those who<br />
are less fortunate. A big “thank you” to<br />
all the club members who volunteered<br />
their time to help pack holiday food<br />
boxes at Sister Carmen Community<br />
Center. We had a good turnout and lots<br />
<strong>of</strong> fun, and we packed many grocery<br />
bags in the process!<br />
Here are some statistics about membership.<br />
Nationally, the <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
America now has over 60,000 primary<br />
members and over 105,000 total members!<br />
PCA is the largest single-marque<br />
car club in the world and is averaging<br />
225 new members per month. RMR has<br />
1270 primary members and 2170 total<br />
members, and we continue to grow as<br />
a region. Keep up the good work! And<br />
please remember to renew your membership<br />
on time...<br />
The November membership social will<br />
be held at the new Landmark Theaters,<br />
theater #5 on Thursday, November<br />
3rd. The documentary “Senna” will be<br />
shown, and popcorn and soda will be<br />
served! The 2012 Board nominees will<br />
also be elected at this meeting (if no<br />
other candidates are nominated).<br />
The annual Holiday Party will be held<br />
on Saturday, December 10th at the<br />
Denver Museum <strong>of</strong> Nature and Science.<br />
Please bring a new, unwrapped toy for<br />
“Toys for Tots.” A cash or check donation<br />
will also be accepted. “Toys for<br />
Tots” is a charitable program founded<br />
by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. They<br />
have been providing happiness and<br />
hope to disadvantaged children during<br />
each holiday season since 1947. We will<br />
have two Marines as our special guests.<br />
Happy Thanksgiving... hope to see<br />
YOU at an event soon!<br />

2012 board slate change<br />
When I was age<br />
thirteen, I subscribed<br />
to Hot Rod magazine<br />
and dreamed <strong>of</strong> Mopar<br />
Hemi drag racers.<br />
Then one summer<br />
afternoon in 1968,<br />
my dad’s best friend<br />
showed up at our Omaha home, driving<br />
his brand-new 912. I stuffed my lanky<br />
frame into the back “seat,” and <strong>of</strong>f we<br />
went in search <strong>of</strong> Mexican food. I was in<br />
love with everything <strong>Porsche</strong> by the time<br />
we made it to the end <strong>of</strong> the block. Needless<br />
to say, I didn’t renew Hot Rod.<br />
Since then, I’ve been to business<br />
school, earned my CFP® license (prac-<br />

Despite best-laid plans, last-minute changes are sometimes unavoidable. The recommended<br />
slate <strong>of</strong> candidates for the 2012 Board <strong>of</strong> Directors has been updated<br />
to include Roger Buswell as candidate for Treasurer.<br />
ticing for over 35 years), am a devoted<br />
father and grandfather, have been<br />
divorced once but married my soul mate,<br />
Deneen, in 1992. She isn’t a car person<br />
at all, yet we have a wonderful marriage.<br />
I have been very involved with RMR as<br />
Advertising Coordinator, event chair for<br />
the June Rock ‘N’ Roll DE, flag chief for<br />
the annual <strong>Club</strong> Race, and sundry other<br />
RMR tasks that I love doing. I founded the<br />
<strong>Porsche</strong> Breakfast <strong>Club</strong> about five years<br />
ago. I’ve also been treasurer <strong>of</strong> a large<br />
service club foundation. My car is a 1982<br />
911SC that has now become notorious as<br />
the “car in infinite rehab.” RMR activities<br />
and coaching my “tweener” daughter’s<br />
soccer team take all my free time.
