The owner of LWG Construction bid $500 at the Morgan Autism’s virtual Starry Night Fundraiser for a Porsche Patio Pizza Party, donated by LPR. Pizza, delivered by Mtn. Mike’s, salad, drinks, and cookies were provided at a club cost of $268.00. Photos were taken and Jim Turk wrote up the article.
- Oct. 2 was LPR’s 11th annual Kill-A-Kone event at Autocross. In spite of a lower than usual attendance (with many of our “regular” LPR Ax’ers missing), $3,121 were raised on site with the expectation that additional checks and on-line donations will increase our members contributions.
