We had a great time in the western half of the region. We started the day with breakfast at Flow Porsche of Charlottesville. There was a 997 GT3 RS on display as well as the latest Porsche models. We then drove over to the Blue Ridge Food Bank to drop off our donations. The Blue Ridge Food Bank distributes food to other local food banks in the network, and actually had requests for more turkeys, which we were able to provide. Afterward we drove over to member Terry Vassalos’ Tip Top Restaurant for lunch, provided by the Shenandoah Region.
Shenandoah and First Settlers Regions joined together for another great event to support charity. We met at Euroclassics Porsche in Midlothian, VA on Saturday, November 23rd. Brian Faulkner of Euroclassics is always a gracious host for our events providing coffee and pastries.
Members donated 1005 lbs. of turkey, over 1000 lbs. of canned goods and $700 in contributions. Feed More of Richmond had a refrigerated truck onsite at Euroclassics to collect the donations.
Felica Sanders of Dream Vacations provided travel vouchers to the top five contributors. Felica read about our event on Facebook and wanted to do her part for those who donated and to support Feed More.
At noon, members departed on a 19 mile driving tour to Fine Creek Brewing Company in Powhatan, VA. Fine Creek Brewing offered an outstanding lunch selection which each region provided to those members who made a donation.
Many thanks to Kevin Leonard for organizing this event.
