Winners of an auction item at the 2024 Friends of Lake Panorama Beach Ball cashed it in last Friday, Oct. 4. Maureen Lubeck’s offer of a cruise in her restored 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe four-door sedan raised $1,050 with Scott and Sherri Miller the winning bidders.

Sherri Miller invited friends Karla Bristle and Julie Tibbles to join her for the fun. When Maureen Lubeck, dressed in a vintage polka dot dress and stylish hat, picked up the trio in the 1939 Chevy, she discovered they also chose polka dot outfits for the evening. 

The cruise included stops to visit a few friends plus an exclusive wine tasting with appetizers at Twin Vines. The final stop was The Port, where they met up with husbands Scott Miller, Ron Bristle and Jim Tibbles for drinks and dinner.

Lubeck planned the auction item, which included gift certificates donated by Twin Vines and The Port, in addition to a chauffeured ride in her shiny 1939 Chevrolet.

One stop on the Oct. 4 cruise was Twin Vines. Shown enjoying an exclusive wine tasting and appetizers are Maureen Lubeck, Sherri Miller, Julie Tibbles and Karla Bristle.
