President’s
Column
As I write my first President’s Column, I would like to begin by thanking
Past President David O’Neal for his tireless efforts and outstanding
leadership over the last few years. Even though he has moved up to
be our Zone 12 Representative, I know he will still spend lots of time
ensuring that Space Coast remains the premier region in all of the
PCA.
I would also like to recognize PCA National Treasurer Tom Gorsuch
for his continued leadership to our region. We should never take for
granted the value of having his wisdom and influence readily available
to advise us and keep us on our path.
Please join me in welcoming our new leadership team. They are the
true heroes of the club, spending hours planning and executing each
event. We continue to expand our team and would like to hear from
you if you would like to become more involved in the club.
Besides EV, Jonathan Parker has been hard at work updating our online
version of the newsletter. Add it as a favorite on your browser and check
it often to stay engaged, www.spc.pca.org.
Thank you also to each of our advertisers and our primary sponsor
Porsche of Melbourne. Without your continued support, none of this
would be possible. If you are looking for a product or service, please
consider our advertisers first and foremost.
Lastly, I want to thank each of our members for the honor of acting as
your president for the coming year. The officers and I promise to do our
best to keep the positive momentum going from prior leadership. We
are poised to have another banner year!
We have lots of opportunities to get out, drive our cars, and enjoy the
company of our fellow enthusiasts this year. The 991 launch party
will be spectacular, the 6oth anniversary of Sebring is just around the
corner; we are hosting Zonefest and it promises to be an incredible
event; Sunrise to Sunset Rally 6 has an interesting twist this year; plus
we have several other great drives and unique events planned.
Whether you are a racer, a race or car enthusiast, or just enjoy the social
aspects of the club, there is something for you. Hope to see you at an
event soon. Now get out and drive those cars!
