In The Zone December 2024
Hello Zone 7,
December! Can you believe it?
Another year in the books. I do hope yours was FULL of PCA & Porsche experiences. I’ll tell you mine was! Visiting the Regions, so many different / unique and fun events, taking part in the Zone Autocross and Concours Series, Club Races, Parade, Treffen even Treffen at Sea. I am so fortunate to be YOUR Zone Rep. Most of all the friendship of old and new friends I have kept and made along the way. My PCA “family” just keeps getting bigger. I look forward to meeting you at an event in 2025. What are you planning on doing?
Zone 7 is unique in that we are the only Zone that has an Autocross and Concours Series. I wanted to thank all who participated, those who volunteered to help and to the hosting Regions. These Series have Zone Chairs who work tirelessly to make these events a success. Please join me in thanking Brant Ballentine (Zone 7 Autocross) Chair and Simone Kopitzki & Roy Schauben (Zone 7 Concours Co-Chairs) for all they have done in 2024.
Thanks again to Richard Chew, our Zone 7 webmaster, and a trophy winner at this year’s awards presented at Parade. If you have looked at the Zone 7 website, he is instrumental in its effectiveness.
If you are on social media, you know David Bunch (OK who doesn’t know David?). He keeps pertinent content coming and ties the regions together in sharing that content. Look for links below.
Let’s give David a big
Thank you to Howard Thomas, the Zone 7 Treasurer, for your years of volunteering. Some of the behind-the-scenes activity and function of the Zone has changed and we will no longer have a treasurer.
The Region Presidents and their Boards / Chairs/ Volunteers and everyone who took part in club activities deserves a big thank you as well.
As schedules are finalized … I’ll post info.
Some to already consider are listed below.
A BIG date for 2025 is PCAs 70th Anniversary on September 13th. Look for lots of information and news about this from PCA National and your local Region.
Happy holiday(s) to you your & your family no matter what you celebrate!
Looking forward to seeing you and an event.
Brian
