zone-7-awards-dinner-porsche-sacramento-3/9

Please join us.

As we roll into February, I see all the Regions putting very impressive schedules of events of all kinds together. Some of the Zone and National events are listed below.

I want to encourage you to take advantage of all your region and the Zone has to offer.

What is your favorite activity? Cars & Coffee, Tours, DE, Autocross, Concours, Social events, surfing the web or Social Media? Or a multiple focus. How about Rally?

The Sacramento Valley Region (with Steve Long spearheading) is working to develop a program as a TSD Rallie 'Hub' for Northern California/Northern Nevada. I will be sharing information and event updates as they come together.

By the time you see this you probably have (or will soon) receive your latest Panorama (Listed as the #1 member benefit) There is something special in there for you. If you wanted to snap a photo and post on our social media channels that would be really fun.

This is just the start of a yearlong celebration of PCAs 70th anniversary. 2025 is PCAs 70th Anniversary on September 13th. Look for lots of information and news about this from PCA National and your local Region.

Looking forward to seeing you at an event in 2025
Brian
