Hello Zone 7,

I am writing this on the official first day of SUMMER. & already ½ the year has passed.

I attended the 68^th Porsche Parade last month in Birmingham Alabama. I did not know what to expect when visiting Birmingham … It was impressive / & really fun. The Parade campus was the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex, two hotels, and the “City Walk” area under the freeway, which was a unique place where the Zone Mixer was held, other parties and the Concours with historical displays and even 20 Porsche Bikes in Porsche racing livery. I am always amazed with the vision and creativity of parade event planners. The concours participants had indoor prep area at the convention center. That was a site to see. The week started for me with some PCA business as prior to Parade officially opening. One item of business as it is the Summer EC National meeting and Zone Rep meeting(s), I will be sharing lots of information with your Region Presidents as follow up.

The 2025 Porsche Parade is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma July 6 to12.

And just announced the 2026 Porsche Parade will be at Lake Placid, New York June 14 to 20

The trophy winners from the competition events at Parade and the annual PCA National awards presented at Parade can be found on PCA.org soon. They are listed in posts on the PCA facebook page in various posts Porsche Parade facebook page

I would like to congratulate all the participants and all those who submitted information to be considered for National Awards both for regions and for individuals who have exemplified what PCA is and all that our members do.

For Zone 7 please join me in congratulating the Regions that received National Awards.
