PCA Chesapeake Region Patter - March 2018

Chesapeake Region
President's Message
Now, let’s take a look forward to the month of
March and see what we have planned. There are no
less than 10 events on the calendar for March!
Starting with our first New Member Party of the
year hosted by Casey Parkin of Porsche of Silver
Spring. Come out and meet the New Members and
have a pastry and coffee with long-time members
such as Laurie and Bruce Tarsia who have been
members since 1979 or National Safety Chair Dan
Dazo who has been a member since 1974! So please
sign up at www.clubregistration.net so our Membership
Chairperson, Minta Miller, will have an accurate
count to pass along to Casey so he may provide
the appropriate number of bagels, pastries and
coffee.
The very next day on March 4 th , we are headed to
the Timonium State Fair Grounds to attend the
spring Home & Garden Show. Jay Plummer, our
Chesapeake Challenge Co-Chair, along with Rebecca
Earlbeck, our Community Service Chair, have arranged
a Porsche only parking coral, and 100% of the
$12 entry fee will be donated to charity. Don’t forget,
there will be a group photo at 1:00 pm!
If you are in Florida on Friday March 9 th , head over
to Amelia Island and attend the PCA National Werks
Reunion event where PCA is celebrating the 356
Outlaws! Check out www.pca.org under “Events” for
additional information.
you too can join in next year’s celebration. Just let
me know in person or by email president@pcachs.org
that you would like to help out
with an event and I will make sure you are matched
up with the type of event that you would like to
make even better.
In addition to the Chesapeake Region, did you know
there are an additional 9 Regions in PCA Zone 2?
Track drivers from those 10 regions gather on the
weekend of March 16 th through the 18 th at the Virginia
International Raceway for the annual Zone 2
Driver Education event. Drop by if you are in the
area or make a special weekend trip and check out
what PCA Driver Education is all about.
The non-track members love our Tours, and who
wouldn’t when Aniano Arao and Randy Moss are
your Co-Chairs. Aniano and Randy are conducting a
Tour & Rally preparation season event on March 17 th
(St. Patrick’s Day), where attendees will learn the ins
and outs of enjoying a Tour to the maximum. In fact,
this will be a special session, as Aniano will introduce
everyone to Porsche’s “app” “GTS Routes”! So bring
your “smart-phone” to the session and you will learn
how to install the “app” and learn how it will be used
during the 2018 Tour & Rally season.
Now the next event in March is very special. On the
14 th we honor all of our great volunteers by breaking
bread and lifting a glass of cheer at the Volunteer
Appreciation Party at Carson’s Creek Restaurant in
their honor for all the hard work they did in 2017.
So make sure you volunteer to help out in 2018 and
