FROM THE PREZ

 

FSR members,
We are still in the midst of great driving weather and FSR activities so I hope everyone is taking advantage of the opportunities to enjoy
their Porsches and the great camaraderie provided by fellow Porsche enthusiasts!
In addition to our regular breakfasts in Richmond and the Hampton Roads area we have also enjoyed Cars and Coffee hosted by Checkered
Flag Porsche and had folks participate in several local car shows. We had a great turnout for our Annual Open Board Meeting in
Williamsburg…thanks to everyone for the flexibility and cooperation as we made the decision to take it indoors just a few days before the
event!


FSR Members

Happy New Year and welcome to another year of great activities and camaraderie with your fellow Porsche enthusiasts!

As we look back on the last couple of months of 2011 we made another significant impact on the Hampton Roads area with our participation in the Mayflower Marathon providing food and funds for the Eastern Virginia Foodbank. Our Turkeys in the Trunk effort once again equated to 15,000 Thanksgiving meals for less fortunate folks in the area. Also, while on the topic of charity, thanks to everyone who pitched in during our 2011 charity events. We raised over $13,000 for our supported charities of the Foodbank, Special Olympics, and the Boys Home as well as our special donation made to the SPCA via our Air and Auto event! This is an increase from the $8,000 we donated in 2010 thanks again to all for helping FSR make a positive impact on our community. 

An obvious highlight of 2011 was FSR winning First Runner-up for PCA Region of the Year!!! And once again we had the best website in PCA for the second year in a row! So, what does this mean for us in 2012? We aren t resting on our laurels and we have a great year planned& now we just need everyone to enjoy the activities and help us make it an even better year.

Your FSR board for 2012 is ready to go and we will be looking for folks who want to get involved with great ideas. Your new board is made up of: President - Dave McFaddin; Western VP - Steve Sarfaty; Eastern VP - George Michaels; Secretary - Kevin Pirkle; Treasurer - Alex Bell; Activities - Don Bryant; Newsletter Editor - Phil Grandfield; DE Chair - John Kopp; DE Registrar - Marco Estrada; DE Chief Instructor - Alex Bell; Safety Chair - Chris Stanley; Webmaster - Marco Estrada; Charity Chair - Josie Grandfield; Membership Chair - Ken Thomas; Asst VP Eastern - Jason Horner; Asst VP Central - Bud Syme; Events Registrar - George Michaels; Asst Activities Chair - Pam Michaels

I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy driving your Porsches when able (hopefully winter will be mild) and to enjoy the camaraderie of likeminded enthusiasts as we participate in social events, charity events, tech sessions, Driver Education, car shows and fun runs!

Happy New Year once again! Dave McFaddin

President, First Settlers Region
