And breath, WOW, what an incredible month June was for not only us but the entire PCA community. The month started with our Porsche n’ Pancakes outing to Smooze, always a fun venture and a great location smack dab in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale.
Next up was our Members Meeting held at Porsche Chandler, Richard and his team always do an incredible job of hosting us and this time was no exception, a great place for the AZPCA members to gather.
Fast forward only a couple of days and a large number of members were back at Porsche Chandler for a celebration of Porsches 75th anniversary, Richard and his entire team outdid themselves by hosting what can only be described as a truly monumental showcase of everything that is great about owning a Porsche, A big shoutout to Alpio for being kind enough to bring along 3 of his amazing cars for Richard to display.
And now we come to the “Grand Finale” as they say, Ali and I had the pleasure of attending our very first PORSCHE PARADE at the La Quinta Resort in sunny Palm Springs, California. (I can hear Susan now, “It really isn’t in Palm Springs”) We woke up bright and early on Saturday morning and packed up our little Beetle (our pet name for our 993) and headed off on our 4 hour, 300 mile odyssey to the La Quinta Resort.
If you have never been to a Porsche Parade please do yourself a favour and attend one, they are a sight to be seen and an absolute joy to be part of, because Ali and I were newbies we booked far too many events and found ourselves waking up early every day to partake in yet another awesome adventure.
The Driving Tours were absolutely EPIC, can you guess who helped organize those drives?
A huge shoutout to Rook, Debbie, Doug and Susie for volunteering for those events. Speaking about volunteers, it was great to see our own Prez Mark and his wonderful wife Angela helping out too, they lead by example as did Rob B and his wife Kerry and Dwane S and his wife Alma.
As the month of July descends upon us as does the infamous Arizona heat please remember the golden rule, HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE…..Stay safe everyone and have a wonderful summer.
And on a final note, who says the early bird doesn’t get the worm, or in this case the best parking spot.
