Greetings fellow club-members,

Herein are a few updates on the national and regional PCA meetings:
The PCA National Board of Directors meeting was conducted July 18 with Tom Gorsuch, President presiding. A quorum was reached with 133 of the 147 Region Presidents in attendance as well as the PCA Executive Council and Standing Committee Chairs. Tom noted that the recent Porsche Parade in the Poconos was the largest ever attended. Tom said that the PCA's $11 Million annual budget enables ten National events including the Parade, two Treffens, two Werks Reunions, Unstock, Tech Tactics and there are 21 full time staff. The very special Porsche 996 Club Coupe (with the GT3 drivetrain) will be auctioned off in September. Finally, the attendees approved the minutes from Winter, 2022: 131 Yes, 0 No and one abstention. The Audit Committee completed their review and concluded the club is in strong financial condition with no significant comments or material weaknesses.
Lori DeCristo, our Zone 8 Representative, conducted the Zone 8 Presidents meeting last week. Lori noted that the Werks Reunion 2022 is next month with 59 openings. Treffen (in Oregon) still has availability. "Unstock" is a PCA National Event with the Los Angeles Region providing 20 volunteers. This event is scheduled for November 13th in Burbank from 10AM to 2PM. Registration opens September 28th, with the exact venue yet to be disclosed. Attending members will be required to sign a waiver to tour the facility where it is being held.
PCA National is hiring for three positions: Director of Finance or Comptroller, Social Media and Applications Developer. Send your application direct to PCA. The November 16th Presidents’ Meeting for incoming and outgoing Zone 8 Region Presidents will be held over Zoom. By the way, PCA has partnered with Princess Cruises and if anyone has interest, I can forward your information to Lori. The types of packages that will be available to Porsche members can be requested. An east coast PCA Region booked a 10-day Mediterranean Cruise out of Florida for $1,000 each.
Our California Central Coast Region is "humming" along and our Nominating Committee for the 2023 Board of Directors is launching their drive. Sanja Brewer, Ron Green and Gil Igleheart comprise the committee and I expect you'll be receiving their communications soon.
Sincerely, Andrew W.
