OFF TO THE EIGHTIES The first board meeting of the year was held at the Pennington’s house last month. The 1980 board met for the

first time as your newly ~l~¢t~d offi=~rs and established a tentative schedule for the first two months of the year.

We are going to try to vary our funtions this year in order to lure some of the old faces and new faces out of their garages.

The first PCA event of the year will be a wine tour and picnic organized by the Riverside Region on Jan. 13.

Your Prez has been on two of these and the were terriffic.

Last year 62 cars showed up (on Super Bowl Sunday) and the year before that there were more than I00 !i! This year Riverside Region has challenged LA Region to a vollyball match at the picnic site. Come out and see how well you can spike the ball after you’ve spiked a few bottles.

This months membership meeting will be held at the SCCYC and will feature a slide show from last years Treffen to Germany. You’ll see photos from the Porsche factory and museum as well as slides of the Mercedes museum and the German countryside. Don & Peggy Kravig and Bob Upton from Riverside Region will narrate. Mr. Upton is noted for his camera work, so the program should be outstanding.

During the month the Presidents from Zone 8 will be meeting in Apple Valley.

Several national officers will be there to tell us of polecy changes and club activities.

You will be reading about it in next months newsletter.

This year the club will have a monthly photo contest to select the cover photo for each newsletter.

I. ~ke sure the photos are sharp and have good contrast, 2. not too dark or not too li~t.
