Being a first-timer to a<br />
Founders’ Day Banquet<br />
PCA dinner event, I really<br />
didn’t know what to expect. The only information my<br />
husband (the Porsche enthusiast) gave me was to wear<br />
a nice dress. I was quite anxious pulling up to the event,<br />
mostly because my husband had lied to me, and no<br />
other woman was wearing a dress! So after downing a<br />
little liquid courage and finding another “wife” friend<br />
who had been coaxed into wearing a dress, I relaxed<br />
some. And I had a fantastic time!<br />
Every person in attendance, regardless of age and<br />
gender, was very welcoming, interesting, and really<br />
down to earth. The event itself was well organized.<br />
Between the amazing location, cars on display, the photo<br />
slideshow, delicious food, and the amazing company, I<br />
had a wonderful time.<br />
I do feel the Porsche fans in this club are really what<br />
make it such an amazing group to be part of and enjoy.<br />
I am excited to attend future events with PCA (not<br />
wearing a dress)!<br />
P.S. - Apologies that my husband totally cut into the<br />
food line; he needed me to soak up some of the alcohol!<br />
See y’all next time (if he lets me come after this)!<br />
