CVR’s Annual Meeting at St. Clements Castle in Portland, CT, provided a chance for members to reconnect while new officers were elected, and outgoing officers were honored.

As my term as president ends, I recall William Shakespeare’s ambivalence about taking leave: “I have more care to stay than will to go.”

I invite you to join me for a few moments in a fantastical world, where longtime club members share their reminiscences.

Lisa Parker’s commitment to the Connecticut Valley Region is epic. She has made the club’s motto, “…it’s about the people,” ring loud and clear.

CVR board members, Caroline and Alan Davis, win acclaim at the 2022 Parade for their exceptional regional and national leadership. Other CVR members, including John Collins, Paul Kudra, Charles Letouzey and Elizabeth Letouzey, also achieve distinction at the Parade.

The Taycan is a technological marvel and a beautiful ride. Is it sui generis?

Autocross, driver education, coffee runs, and concours will flourish again as they did last year due to the exceptional efforts being made by our CVR board members.

Paul Kudra is an exceptional leader, excellent mentor, and empathic colleague. CVR members are fortunate to be beneficiaries of his vision, competence, and goodwill.

After a month of relative inactivity in December, I enjoy interacting with board members and developing goals for the year with them. The goals are a collective vision of activities and events that will engage you and enrich club traditions of camaraderie, safety and enjoyment of Porsches.

CVR evokes mainly the images of beautiful Porsches; however, it also evokes the kindness and goodwill of many of its members.

Exceptional leaders have honored CVR over the years with their dedication, competence and goodwill. When they depart, it is always difficult to say good-bye.
