Advertising – Peter Ridgway
Nothing to report
Autocross – Anne Roth & Dave Dunwoodie
Potential October 3rd AX date to be added.
Anne visited Cow Palace venue with GGR, smaller than Marina and it was a windy day.
Trailer is in the shop, work not complete but progressing well.
Charity – Kathy Musser, Kris Vanacore, Emilie Highley
The October Autocross will be the annual Kill-A-Kone benefitting the Morgan Autism Center. If you are unable to attend the event, donations will be gratefully accepted. Please make out your checks to the Morgan Autism Center.
We have 2 Charity Events scheduled in October; A TBD event on Oct. 3 for Jacobs Heart. The Eiskamps have volunteered their home as part of this event. The Charity Committee will firm up plans for this as we get closer and have a better idea of what we are allowed to do given the virus.
October 25 is the last of our AX events and will include our annual Kill-a-Kone charity for Morgan Autism Center. At this time, given the virus, we will not be featuring our hot dog BBQ.
Moving forward, we may need to get creative with charity promotions if we can’t do what we have done in the past (a possible on line virtual charity event?).
Emilie Highley – Hospitality
Per Anne Roth’s request, a condolence card was sent to the family of Joe Weinstein who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.
Joe was part of the AX group and, per Anne, “Joe was almost a fixture at our events for many, many years. He also attended the end of year banquet this last December.”
Prieta Post Editor – Kat Hsueh & Chris Dyer
Chris is now co-editor. Chris gave a tour of a proposed web based Prieta Post publication. Questions were asked regarding how event advertising could be managed but overall it was well received. Consensus was to move forward.
Public Relations – Ken Iles
Two separate attempts to accommodate Panorama’s new photo-format of “From The Regions” have been submitted, and even though they both met Pano’s stated requirements, both submissions have been rejected or not used. E-mail discussions have been ongoing between Linda Goodman, myself, and John Reed as to what Pano really wants, but it still appears uncertain as yet.
John Reed and I both agree that LPR will not submit anything to Pano this month, and we will wait to see if their next issue clarifies matters. Hopefully, the feature will again resume its normal 300 word limit submissions sooner rather than later.
Rallye – Bob Frostholm
No report.
Safety & Tour– John Reed
Russ and Doris Britschgi have resigned the tour chair due to covid-19. John will cover in interim.
The Observer’s Report for the June 13th tour was sent to PCAN in a timely manner. All release forms were signed and received by the LPR Activities Director. There were no incidents to report.
The June 13th Tour was a huge success. 27 cars participated. Kudos to the tour chairs, Tony & Kris Vanacore, for an enjoyable and pleasant day of Porsche driving. Note: This was the first LPR driving event in five months!
