The Steering Wheel
President’s Message from
MICHELE “MICK” WEAVER, CPA-PCA President
Greetings fellow CPA-PCA members. I hope my monthly message finds everyone doing well and enjoying the springtime weather and all of the beautiful blooming plants! Hopefully you are out and about driving your Porsches through the beautiful countryside and enjoying the season. Whether you are out for a few hours, a day trip or a longer vacation, take time to smell the roses. With the blooms comes the pollen and related tree debris so I bet all of you have been cleaning your cars a bit more often.
As we move into driving season, I am constantly reminded of why I love leading this region. As members of the Central PA Region, we should all take pride in our recent Porsche Only Swap Meet and Show. Steve Baun and his team did a fantastic job planning and organizing the event and many club members stepped up and volunteered to help execute it. Our club thrives on the energy of our volunteers. A huge thank you to our SWAP team and to all the dedicated members who bring their energy and passion to our activities.
The efforts of all were rewarded with a fantastic crowd of Porsche fans driving a vast variety of cars from near and far. The nice weather, albeit chilly, made the day enjoyable for all. It’s always fun talking to the many interesting people at the club tent and around the fairgrounds. The day perfectly exemplified the club’s motto: It’s not just the cars; it’s the people!
We are in the final countdown to Porsche Parade—Lake Placid taking place in mid- June. With around 3,000 people and over 1,000 Porsches, Lake Placid will be exciting with a complete immersion into the Porsche culture! Remember, if you are attending the Pirelli Welcome Party Sunday, June 14th from 6:00 – 7:30, there will be a Zone 2 area where you can meet people from our region and neighboring regions. Looking forward to seeing you there and safe travels!
Maybe you aren’t attending Porsche Parade but there are many region events to check out. If you haven’t attended an event in a while, or you are a new member, I encourage you to join us at one of our various events. On the website or in Der Sprecher, you will find a calendar of events and there is always a new event popping up, so keep following our website. Don does a great job managing the content combining our events and other interesting Porsche related articles. I look forward to seeing you on the road or at the next social event! Remember, anyone can lead a drive or give an idea to us to orchestrate, but offering your help is much appreciated!
In summary, get out and enjoy your cars during this wonderful time of year. There is no better time to enjoy the camaraderie among fellow members sharing a passion for our special cars. Be safe out there!
Here we go!
Mick
