Historic Turbo Spaghetti was held on Feb. 6 and on all accounts was a resounding success. Let's start with this message from our hosts Gary and Renee Messing, who opened the doors of their Third Ward condo in downtown Milwaukee to more than 60 region members and their guests:
A message to our guests at Turbo Spaghetti:
More than 60 of you showed up at our home to celebrate Everything Porsche. As you know, Everything Porsche is the Region’s way of recognizing its 50th anniversary. And since Turbo Spaghetti is the longest running social event, it was an appropriate way to get the celebration under way. The gathering on Feb. 6 was the 33rd event of its kind and we were delighted to host it. Your presence made it a success.
We had a lot of help and our gratitude is abundant. Some worked to welcome you upon arrival, others helped in the kitchen. Without them the outcome would have been diminished compared to how it turned out. We sincerely hope you had a great time. Certainly everyone involved in putting on this event – us, members of the Social Committee, and others including Region President Don Kiepert – were focused on making you feel welcome. We hope that was accomplished.
Thank you for joining us. We encourage you to look at all that the Region has to offer and become involved. This is a great Region!
