From FDR’s Oval Office by Frederick D. Rauch, PCA-SVR President SVR is need of a Club Treasurer The Board of Directors is seeking a SVR member to take over as our region’s Treasurer. Back in April Mike Willis volunteered to temporarily serve as the acting Treasurer. Mike currently serves as the Membership Director and the Advertising Chair and has served every other board position over the years and continues to volunteer in acting positions to maintain continuity in the clubs operations. The key word is temporary and we need to relieve Mike of the role of the Acting Club Treasurer ASAP. That being said if you have a background in QuickBooks, have bookkeeping or accounting skills and are willing to contribute 3-4 hours a week to the club, now’s your opportunity. As a member of the Board of Directors, you will become an important member of the team responsible for SVR developing policies, managing activities and serving the region’s 1,000+ members. The duties of the Treasurer include: • Serving a member of the Board of Directors • Managing SVR finances using Intuit QuickBooks software.* • Working with Board Members and Event Chairs to prepare an annual budget for Board approval. • Developing, as needed, financial policies and procedures. • Preparing monthly income and expense reports of SVR’s financial condition. • Attending monthly Board meetings to help direct the region’s operations. • Coordinating with an accountant to prepare annual federal and state taxes. • Familiarity with on-line banking would be helpful and a time saver. For more information please contact me at president@svr-pca.org or 916-595-3371 cell Stirring the Pot with the Soup Spoon by Rik Larson, Vice President • Ruth Stark has got her Charity Auction publicity out all over the place. If you need to have a donated item picked up prior to the event, she will be glad to make arrangements to store items till the auction on September 11th. Did you see the size of that Teddy Bear? • Kevin Dougherty is chairing the October dinner (just added to the schedule). It will be held at the Back Bistro in Folsom. SVR had a dinner there a couple of years ago, just shortly after they opened. The place has recently expanded. Menu selection, price, and other details were not available as we went to press. Be sure and check out the e-mail BLASTs for all the information. Date is Monday, October 3rd. • The tour on October 8th is going thru some significant changes. Seems that the original destination/locale is having a big event that day. So Lee and Dan are scouting out a different location. Details next month but should have some info in the next e-mail BLAST. • Planning for the SVR Christmas Party is progressing very nicely, thanks to Mike and Emily Willis. The date will be Sunday, December 11th in the afternoon. It will be at the Sutter Club, downtown Sacramento. More details as they become available. • At the Pebble Beach Concours, a 1949 356/2 coupe entered by Hans-Peter Porsche of Austria, won the Postwar Sports Closed class. The story goes that this car was part of a group of cars purchased in Kentucky(?) several years ago and was just recently restored (thousands of hours of labor). It was the 45th Porsche built. • Only 7 spots remain for the wine tasting event at the Jacobson’s in October. • Saturday at the Rennsport Reunion IV appears to be the best day to attend. The schedule identifies a Parade exhibition of Porsche’s racing history from 3pm to 3:40 pm to be followed by a Concours on Pit Lane. Gates open at 7 am. And the big tease is that the new 2012 Porsche 911 (991) will be there. • Several quick items from the Porsche Parade in Savannah. It was HOT. The Zone Representatives Award was made to Tim Fleming (in memoriam). Sharon Neidel, Zone 7 Representative, provided a great background about Tim. Sue Fleming accepted the award. SVR webmaster John Murphy placed 2nd in Class IV of the website competition. He and Phil Wood did an overhaul of the website and their efforts were well rewarded. Did I say it was HOT? SVR member Dustin Aydt arrived late to the Parade, but he planned it that way. He was part of the Tech Academy held on Friday. Dustin works at Niello Porsche (like he works on Porsches). And SVR took home some hardware in the TSD Rally. Jessica (Golden Gate Region) and J Toney took 3rd place in the Equipped Class. They had won this class and overall the previous 5 years. Terry Zaccone (Golden Gate Region) and I won the Navigational class. We also won this class at the 2008 Parade in Charlotte, NC. It was HOT. All the results, photos, awards, etc. are available at the Parade web site www. parade2011.pca.org • Salt Lake City is the site for the Parade in 2012. Jessica and J Toney are in charge of the TSD Rally. Come on out to the Carrera de Sierra event on September 17th to get some early experience. SVR and Zone 7 always do well at the Porsche Parades. the drifter - Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org Page 3
