Welcome to PCA, The Founders’ Region, Potomac for the 2012 season. Before I get into the club’s plans for 2012, I do want to reflect a bit on 2011. PCA Potomac had a really great year in 2011. Not only did we become the largest PCA Region in the U.S., the club offered over 100 events for fellow Porsche enthusiasts. The key to making 2011 so successful were the club’s volunteers. These were the people who organized these events and/or facilitated making them happen. Just think about it: If you joined us for one of our rallys, it was the volunteers who thought through the rally’s theme and also laid out the route. Same thing with autocross; lots of planning goes into designing an autocross course, and then it was up to the volunteers to set out all those cones. I would wager that during 2011, close to 200 volunteers helped in one way or another to make Potomac’s 2011 the success it was. To them, a BIG THANK YOU. On a personal note, I would like to thank Jody Lagioia for her contributions as the club’s vice president during 2011. She helped the club (and particularly me) Dick Seltzer a lot. I also would like to thank the other club officers for their contributions as well as their advice and counsel to me during 2011. This includes Past President Tuffy von Briesen, Treasurer Evan Close and Secretary Gary Brindle. Thanks to the support of the club’s membership, Tuffy, Evan, Gary and I will remain in our respective positions for 2012. Former Drive ’n Dine Chair John Eberhardt will round out the club’s officers as the 2012 vice president and president-elect for 2013. I personally am looking forward to working with John, and I think that he will serve the club well. 6• der Vorgänger • February 2012 www.pcapotomac.org The president’s page Goodbye 2011, hello 2012 While many of our coveted cars are in hibernation for the winter, it will be spring sooner than you think. PCA Potomac already has over 90 events on the 2012 calendar to join your fellow Porsche owners and get your Porsche the exercise it needs. As always, there are the three monthly Saturday breakfast meetings. If you check the schedule on Page 8 (or at www.pcapotomac.org), you can see that we already have nailed down all the dates for Drivers Education, autocross, rally, concours and Drive ’n Dine as well as open board meetings, etc. So there is no reason that you cannot find something to do to share your Porsche experience with other Porsche owners. If you never have come to a Potomac event I would encourage you to come to at least one. If you do, I am confident you will come to a second event. Not only are the cars great to admire and drive, I have found the people who own them are interesting and fun. We all share a common bond—the appreciation of what a Porsche represents. One final comment about 2011. As you may know, for the past several years Potomac has adopted the Carol Jean Cancer Foundation as its targeted charity. This foundation organizes and operates Camp Friendship every summer for children with cancer. They and their siblings get to spend a week together at camp. It is a wonderful experience for these children, and I am pleased to report that during 2011 we collected $8,375 for the foundation. Thank you Potomac members. As they say, it is not the cars, it is the people. As always, I welcome your suggestions and comments. Please feel free to contact me at president@pcapotomac.org.
