Editor’s Notes

The Kassette staff has been spending many hours on upgrading the features of our publication. One of our first priorities was to add more space for stories we hope our members will enjoy. We also are stiving to provide more value to our advertisers and sponsors. With the help of our graphics artists, many pages have been redesigned, and more will be updated in future issues. Last month’s issue was a great example of the some of the changes resulting in a better presentation and flow of our material. The very positive feedback from members and GCR board tells us that we are making the right changes. In the words of our team, we are just getting started.

Joining PCA is a great life enhancing experience, but it may lead to many questions. To help resolve those questions Ian Gerada, our Membership Chair, will be providing us with a new column: Monthly

Roger Fabel, Editor

Membership Corner. We look forward to learning more from Ian about Gold Coast membership, our history, and the makeup and nature of our club.

Additionally, Ian Garada has been doing a wonderful job of emailing updates on both the Porsche & Pancake and Thirsty 3rd Thursdays regular monthly events. His information is accurate! As a result, the monthly Porsche & Pancake and Thirsty Thursday social events will no longer be published in the Kassette. These may be found on the GCR calendar as well. Complimentary to emailed updates, readers will find several flyers throughout the Kassette for the major upcoming events such as Octoberfest sponsored by Foreign Affairs (p.12), and Autocross in Sebring (p. 7)

The “Photo of the Month” has been very well received (keep those submissions coming). Our team wanted to provide this great feature with a special enhancement. Photo of the month was promoted to a prime location in the Kassette. It also has a new banner (title). We won’t spill the beans here, so look for it in this issue and let us know what you think of the change. Significantly, we were blessed with a visit to the Ronald McDonald House this past month. The Gold Coast and Suncoast Regions jointly administer the 48 Hours at Sebring Club Race and then split all proceeds, which are donated to Ronald McDonald House. GCR has been partnering with this valued organization for over twenty years. Giving is caring!

We have temporarily removed the Classified Ad section so that it could be updated to a new format. The new submission process and format will be previewed next month. Roger
