GENERAL INFORMATIONPCA-LA AT A GLANCE PCA-LA is 550 diverse Porsche owners. We are young and old, novice and expert, slow and fast. PCA-LA is a "region" of Porsche Club of America, the largest single marque non-factory club in the world. On a national level, PCA publishes an excellent monthly magazine, PORSCHE PANORAMA, and generally provides a forum for learning. But the club part is local. And what The Los Angeles Region offers is an opportunity to share the exhilarating (and sometimes frustrating) understanding, maintaining and driving one of the most unique experience of automobiles of all time. Enjoy.

certainly our special gratitude to Sara and Jerry Pennington for their always fine work on putting together the Concours. One of the highlights of the day was awarding Vern and Add Covert an Honorary Lifetime Membership in the Club. Vern drove his wonderful 904/6 over from Prescott, Arizona just to be with us that day. Elsewhere in Porscherama you’ll read Vern’s letter of thanks to us, but we thank him again for all his help and guidance over the years. By the time you read this, the "Parade" will be history. For those who did not attend, keep an eye out for Pano’s coverage. For those of us who attended and participated, it was truly an exciting event. If you missed it, try next year when it will be in Maine! If you read your mail, by now you know that we have There is no question that our 25th Anniversary party and Concours held at Will Rogers State Park on June2nd was a great succss.

Your Board of Directors has the responsibility of establishing sound fiscal management, and feels that this fee of $15 per member will not only allow us to maintain events and publications at their present levels, but actually increase services the Club can provide. The cost of everything is going up, including membership in the Porsche Club, but where can you get a better bargain for a total of $45.00!

ing to the board, which really tries to put on events that you will enjoy. The Spring time trial at Riverside was wel! attended and things really started to roll at Dusty’s barbecue in Malibu last April. The tech session at Max Dia! had a greatat turnout (more than twice the tu rnout of last year’s session n on detailing)and the Concours-Anniversary Party had an, TAILLIGHT~~
enormous attendance, much in excess of 400. We attribute this to a n u m ber of factors. One has to be the improved economy. Another has to be that we are putting on the right kind of events to appeal to our members. Another is likely the regular and timely communications provided by Porscherama and the Pro-Tem. Also a factor is the new hotline which is getting heavy use. Regardless of the reason, we are enthusiatic about the increased participation, and expect it to continue at the picnic-softball game August 17th (details in prior ProTem, calendar on back page and the Hotline). This promises to be a great family event. This brings us to the issue of continuing with these fine events. If you are finding PCA/LA filling some of your recreational needs or even if you want to see changes or improvements, we need you to take a more active role in club administration. Four board members will complete their two-year terms this year and others who took over mid-term also will complete their second years. While board membership is fun and not as much work as you might think, you cannot expect the same people to serve forever. Up for election this year are Vice-president,
The first 6 months of 1985 has seen a resurgence of interest and participation in PCA/LA. This is very reward-
Treasurer, Tech Chairman and Bulletin Editor. I will be glad to continue as Bulletin Editor for another term if elected but I could use some help if there is interest. I can’t speak for each of the others but we need volunteers. We also need people to serve on planning committees which is a good way to be exposed to club administration. Whatever you are willing to contribute in the way of time ~ill be greatly appreciated not only by the board but by the membership. In order to continue with our current high quality level of activities, we need you. Don’t assume the other guy will do it as we just might run out of "other guys." Besides the monthly board meetings, which are dinner meetings, only a little time is required. Come and join us in our efforts to make PCA/LA the most fun way to spend your time. Jon A. Schiewe
