On Saturday, November 19, a group of Shenandoah Region members met at Flow Porsche for the first annual “Turkeys in their Frunks.” This new event is a way to make a contribution and to give back to the Charlottesville Community. Participants included President Clint Shuler, Hank & Jolly Weil, Mark & Marty Doherty, Bill Sanders, Gary Hunter, Tim & Andrea Messer, Kevin Dean, Peter Chapin, Stephen Heim, and Ray Tinsley from Flow Porsche. The group drove from Flow Porsche to take their food contribution to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank on Harris Street in Charlottesville.

The event was a resounding success and all participants felt such gratification about being able to provide food for those less fortunate in the area. A total of 531 pounds of turkeys were donated along with a couple of hundred pounds of non-perishable food items. Some members who could not attend provided financial contributions via checks made out to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. These members, plus those who attended contributed an additional $800 which we were informed would feed 3200 individuals in the immediate area. After this event, the group drove to the Tip Top restaurant for lunch and to socialize and to know each other better. Terry Vissalos, the owner of the Tip Top Restaurant and a Club member, had a table waiting for the group. It was a wonderful experience and something that the Shenandoah Region can look forward to supporting again in the future. Imagine if we had as many Shenandoah Region members attending this event as we do for some of our tours and drives through the Virginia countryside. Our goal in 2017 is to triple the number of participants and make an even bigger contribution to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

Thanks to all those who participated and made a contribution.
