President’s Corner

Mark Baker

Hello All:

Happy March to all. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. Our club held its annual Valentine’s Day event at the Arizona Culinary Institute in Scottsdale. It was a great event and posthumously honored its founder, Cynthia Giacchetti. See our club’s Photos section to view the photos of the event. https://azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/AZPCA-Social-Events/Valentines-DateNight-2022/

We also held a Casino Night Charity event at Alpio’s at Troon. We had about 100 attend the event. It was a lot of fun and we raised over $6,400 to donate to St Vincent de Paul of Arizona. Thanks to all that attended, those who volunteered, and to all those that donated the prizes. Check out the photos in the club’s Photos section. https://azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/AZPCA-Social-Events/Casino-Night-Charity-Event-Feb-12-2022/

We are planning to run a second charity event in the fall. It will include a Driving Tour and will end with some type of Wine/Social event. We will release the details as the planning unfolds.

At a meeting of all of the Presidents for all of the Regions, it was mentioned that somewhere in the near future Panorama magazine will go digital and will stop the paper version. PCA National is also working on a policy to permit drones at club events. I will keep you updated as I hear more details.

The Arizona Region is running the following upcoming events:

· Feb 26 – DE – AMP · Mar 2 – Monthly Meeting at Ancala · Mar 5 – Driving Tour to Globe and Tonto National Monument · Mar 12 – PnP – Soul Café · Mar 19 – AutoX at AMP · Mar 25,26,27 – DE – Track Day and Instructor School at INDE · Mar 30 – Driving Tour to Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum

I hope to see you all at an upcoming event

Drive Safely,

Mark
