The December 5th event hosted by Debbie Dell was the grand finale for Sierra Nevada Region’s 2009 event season.

Afterwards a wonderful meal of roast prime rib, stuffed chicken breast or the vegetarian selection with all the trimmings was served, followed by the obligatory desert. Yum! Festive holiday and contemporary music was provided during the evening by Mark Luperini and Chris Hanson which had numerous couples out of their chairs and on the dance floor.

Ken made special mention of outgoing Competition Chair Pat Costin’s many years of service to the club. He then introduced the incoming 2010 board members to the group and noted that there was an opening for a new Competition Chair. He also presented the very prestigious Enthusiast of the Year Award to members Craig and Mary Lou Kugler. This award is given to a SNR member(s) who has shown support for the club and participation in events as a true Porsche enthusiast.

A special thank you goes to all Sierra Nevada Members who have been event hosts and who have sponsored and attended events throughout the year. Remember “it is not just the cars, it is the people.”
