December 2012

From The Driver’s Seat By Michael Soriano

As we conclude this year of our 40th anniversary, I want to take this oppor-tunity to thank everyone for helping to make this an extremely successful and memorable one. The first weekend in Novem-ber we hosted the last

DE of the year at Mid-Ohio. Once again, the weather cooperated and everyone was able to get a great deal of track time making it another won-derful event. The following weekend, the temperatures rose just in time for the final Cars and Coffee of 2012, providing for a fantastic attendance. And on Saturday, November 17, nearly 50 members attended our monthly social event at Rosie’s Italian Grille, and everyone had a wonderful time.

Our next social event will be Dinner in Findlay at Steve’s Dakota Grille on December 8. In January, Ron Carr will be organizing another Zone 4 trek to the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Please refer to Ron’s In the Zone section of Der Ruckspiegel for more details. I am pleased to report that the Krausers will again be hosting the Planning Meet-ing, which will be held on Saturday, January 26. The planning meeting is by far one of the most important events of the year, as this is when we establish our entire social calendar for the upcoming year. Please join us and help to plan another wonderful and exciting year of events. Be sure to

attend, because Chris and Jeanne do an outstanding job, making the eve-ning itself, an event not to be missed.

Just a reminder that 40th Anniversary commemorative items are still avail-able for sale. There is a T-shirt for $12, a poster for $6, and a DVD for $5. If you would like to purchase the T-shirt or poster, please contact Chris Krauser at CPJMKrauser@juno.comand to purchase the DVD, please con-tact Jeff Vollmar at jtvollmar@att.net. Remember there are a number of ways to keep informed about our region. There is the website http://mm.pca.org, the newsletter, Der RUCKSPIEGEL, and the social com-mittee e-mail reminders.

I want to wish all of our members a very Happy Holiday season.

Thanks,

Michael

Remember to keep the blink alive!!!!!
