President’s Page<br />

Hello fellow <strong>Porsche</strong> Enthusiasts,<br />
to Oxford on Friday. If you are interested in<br />
going please contact Jim Anderson at Jim_Anderson@oldnational.com.<br />
Yesterday I received<br />
a letter from the <strong>Porsche</strong>s2oxford organizers<br />
saying they had just hit the 200 car mark.<br />
I hope you are having a great summer so far.<br />
I know Shelley and I are. So far we have been<br />
to The Tail <strong>of</strong> the Dragon, Blue Ridge Boxster<br />
Summit (BRBS), and over to Mid-Ohio for the<br />
Grand-Am race (ok I went to the race). We are<br />
putting a lot <strong>of</strong> miles on the Boxster and enjoying<br />
all <strong>of</strong> them. But isn’t that what a <strong>Porsche</strong><br />
was made for? I think so. Having a car sit in<br />
the garage just gathers dust. You’ll hear more<br />
about our trips later on in the newsletter.<br />
By the time you’ve read this Jay Yost will have<br />
hosted the second annual Wheels and Wine<br />
Car show. I hope I saw a number <strong>of</strong> you there.<br />
Jay has put a lot <strong>of</strong> work into the event. When<br />
you see him, say thanks.<br />
