Club member Dave Mathews, our recent host at the Loeber Motors
open house, informs us that he is about to begin training, at an
age where for most of us pumping a clutch and rowing a shifter
count as a workout, for the 2008 Chicago Marathon. Dave
will be working with
the National AIDS Marathon Training Program, a fundraising
organization for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, the AIDS
Project Los Angeles and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
In return for their help in preparing for the race, Dave has
committed to finding people willing to sponsor his hard work
with cash contributions to these organizations. The
Midwest 356 Club has agreed to be one of Dave's sponsors in the
amount of $100. If you would like to supplement the club's
donation with a contribution of your own, you can sign up at
Dave's
donor registration page.
And speaking of Dave Mathews, the program Dave told us about a few months back
to put a 356 on display in Loeber's showroom got off to a big start this month.
Howard Yefsky's Convertible D arrived at Loeber on May 1 and and remained only until May 5,
when it was sold, presumably to someone who decided a new Carrera wasn't quite special
enough. A photo and short article by Dave about the Porsches that started it all are on
the Loeber Motors web site.
