She recognizes that with the current events, this is a difficult time for many members and that the disruption of activities is both disappointing and isolating.

Director - Rick Veingrad II

As an active member of the Gold Coast Region PCA since 2014, many of you know Rick has volunteered at many of the clubs events with his Black Panamera. Rick has attended almost every GCR’s board of directors meeting in the past two years. He is a member of the club’s social committee, and hosts the highly successful and very popular Fort Lauderdale/Davie Happy Hour Social at CJ Blacks.

In 2018, he put together the annual summer PCA Sanibel Run. Last year’s Sanibel Run had almost 200 members drive from West Broward to Fort Myers Beach. Rick’s itinerary included an overnight stay at a resort hotel, dinning at three waterfront restaurants, and a spectacular speedboat tour ride. The event drew members from all over the state making it a multi-chapter social as well. Through Rick’s perseverance, he procured numerous donated prizes for the charity dinner that raised a couple thousand dollars the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Professionally, after receiving a business degree for the University of Miami in 1981, Rick established a chain of Video Stores in Broward County serving the area for over 30 years.

Over the last couple of years, Rick joined Cruise Shoreside Services at Port Everglades and Port of Miami. Rick is currently serving a third term as President of the University of Miami Alumni Band and was past President of the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) trade group.

Rick is running for a director position on the GCR Board of Directors continuing his commitment to the club. He appreciates your support.
