Attention AZPCA Members!

Please let our sponsors know you are a member of the Arizona Porsche club and that you appreciate their support.

“Make new friends but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.” Quote by Joseph Parry.

Heregoes the broken record!

Your Arizona Region is breaking records each month adding new members. In the last two months the club grew by 71 new members. Welcome and come on out to a Porsches and Pancakes, Monthly Meeting, or sign up for an upcoming Driving Tour.

Our region continues to grow, which puts pressure on all our events. If you are inclined, please volunteer to help out on driving tours, track days, social events, etc.

As I mentioned last month, “no shows” at events are an issue. You may have noticed a new note on MSR confirmations by Rook Younger. I am including it below:

“Thank you for your RSVP. Please note that, although there is no registration fee for this event, the restaurant is expecting the number of attendees we provide to them in advance. If you need to cancel, please do so at least one week prior to the event date (being a no-show without notice is rude to the restaurant and to the event organizer). Thank you!”

Summer heat is around the corner and club events are also heating up. Check the calendar on the website or Going Places newsletter and come on out and make new friends. The Annual Ken Steele Alpine Tour is filling up fast.

Each month I am highlighting the club’s volunteers that make our club one of the most active clubs in Zone 8. This month our Track Day Chairs: Kim Kemper, our AX chair, Rick Althouse, AX Co-chair; for HPDE, Dan Bouet the club’s current VP and HPDE Chair and John Dowling, Chief Driving Instructor. If you have attended track day, you have experienced the hard work, they and the many dedicated volunteers work to provide a fun, safe venue to experience your Porsches’ capabilities. Angela and I stopped by the recent Podium Club HPDE. What a way to end the year. If you have never driven your Porsche on a track, sign up next season. I may have to forego a few Saturdays of pickle ball next season and volunteer at a track day or two.

‘It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.’

Make it a great month. MM
