Johnny’s Steakhouse serve us a great meal, we had great service, private parking for the Porsches and great conversation. Many of us remember the beginnings of the club and remember the days of wishing we had our own region, instead of having to go to Milwaukee for meetings and events. 25 years ago I February it came to pass and we are still going strong. Thanks to Kathy Davis for organizing the party and providing the cute Porsche cake, complete with Carl Davis’s matchbox car Porsches.
