Bryan Tucker's Legendary Wine Tasting.
A sold out event with nearly 100 willing tasters. Bryan and Sherri did a fantastic job with the organization, the food, and, of course, the wines. The raffle raised over $1,700 for the food bank. Thank you all for your generosity.















Fall Tour
The Carolinas Region Fall Tour this year took place in Staunton, VA. Hotel 24 South in Staunton hosted the group. Members appreciated the downtown location of the hotel that enabled walking to restaurants and shops. Bryson Kiser, Bob Futrell and Victor Friedmann led the two drives.










Monthly Dinner Meeting at the Carolina Ale House
Another full house at our monthly dinner meeting. There was no speaker but we had the company Eric Watson, Elfer.US, one of our sponsors. Brett Emes present a questionnaire on the interests for future tours and drives.

Triangle Area Family Picnic
A sold out event at the Historic Old Mill Farm in Durham. Members, family and children enjoyed a beautiful fall day at the farm with plenty of activities for the kids. Food from City BBQ and a cash bar had something for everyone. The farm general manager picked the one Porsche she would like to drive home--Larry Van Buhler's red boxster S was her pick. Larry walked away with a T-shirt. Congratulations, Larry.
