Was Volley Ball the only game? How many persons attended this year? What interesting conversations took place? Did they eat well? Answers to these questions and vivid descriptions will be in a detailed report from our correspondent in the December issue of Northlander. 36 Northlander November 2008
President ... continued from page 4 We also will now have an opening in the Concours area our co-chairs Judy Hendrickson and Lisa Roche both feel they have taken that program within North Country as far as they can and welcome anyone else to continue to grow that interest. As you all know I personally could not have participated in the Parade Concours without Judy’s assistance, knowledge and support. Lisa took each and every event to heart, expressing concerns right up to just minutes before the first arrivals; she does that as well at the autocross events, just so you all know. It should be stated that with their planning and expertise we held some strong car shows at varied New England sites with the weather holding out for most of the events. It appears that our Social Chair is moving up the ladder to president in 2009 so I have advised Ivy that another Social Chair should be found because her time to coordinate activities of that type will be limited with the responsibilities of the new role. Like Don Johnson she can be contacted for advisement and I’m sure she will be there to assist anyone in that role at any time. We do still have the open position for Car Control Clinic Chair which unfortunately we did not hold as an independent event in 2008. The membership did express their interest in this event along with other sister regions who had membership that were interested in participating in the activities normally seen in our past CCC events. It is my hope that someone will come forward to the board to work on an event like this for 2009. If anyone does have any interest in any of the positions I have mentioned please contact Ivy Leonard, Jay Gratton, Paul Tallo or Pete Petersen. Lastly, for those of you Techies in the club as mentioned in my last edition Jack Saunders is currently compiling the calendar for tech sessions. He is going to cover something each month to get through the winter. Once confirmed the tech sessions will be published in the Northlander and the Website. Please remember to express your vote not just for North Country Board for 2009 but get out to the polls in November to express yourself with the political election. Miriam Paul Tallo ... continued from page 8 On another Charity (and Cayman S) note: At our annual NCR car show which raises money for the New Hampshire Food Bank, our other dealership sponsor, Porsche of Nashua, again put up a raffle prize of a weekend with a Cayman S with all the proceeds going to the Food Bank. Of course I took a chance and made a donation for two tickets. Since I’m writing this you can guess that I was fortunate enough to win the weekend “loaner car.” I certainly visited many friends over the three days to share the Cayman S experience. Everyone who drove the car was as impressed as I was, and thoughts of how they liked the Cayman S better than their current sports car (which included cars like Audi TT, BMW Z3, and even a Boxster S owner who might be ready for an upgrade…) crossed their minds (I certainly volunteered to introduce a few folks to Dan Witmer). The Cayman S is a pleasure to drive both cruising around and if you ask the car to do “a little more” – very nice! I enjoyed a seacoast ride on Rte 1A between Rye and Hampton, and cruised the strip on Hampton Beach (of course our NCR Social Chair had to be in line for a ride). Finding excuses of where to drive was not a problem. I collected a breakfast that a friend has owed me for awhile, I said “Gee, I’ll pick you up” (a common phrase that weekend). I scheduled my weekend with the Cayman S for a weekend that I had a ride with the Make-a- Wish organization on the Mount Washington on Lake Winnipesaukee out of Weirs Beach so the Cayman S covered more parts of the state! I covered a little over 600 miles over the course of the weekend and certainly enjoyed my little loaner car raffle prize! see the photographs: page 36 November 2008 37 Northlander
