KSCRPCA NUMBERS
pring is upon us. It is a time for 2) PCA as a whole is the largest single all things to become new again. marque car club in the world. You are in It is a time for April showers and good company if you are a Porsche-nut.
May owers, and most importantly, for hibernation to end. It is time to get your Porsche out for a drive with the club.
Speaking of the club, I thought it would be nice to share some statistics with you about KCRPCA and PCA as a whole.
1) The KCRPCA family is almost to 800 members this month! As of February, we have 496 Primary Members and 295 Af liate Members (think of them as the +1 to a party) for a grand total of 791 members. That is the most I have ever seen!
We celebrate Porsche ownership by creating unique driving and social experiences for our club members
3) The KCRPCA is up to 27 events on the calendar this year. Think about that. There is a driving, dining, car show or some kind of road trip almost every other weekend!
4) The KCRPCA is back at Heartland Park Topeka for a PCA Club Race and Driver Education events this year. I cannot begin to tell you the hard work, effort and follow through being done by Bob Wayman and David Stadtmueller. They have done an outstanding job and it shows.

5) Record turnouts at Saturday morning breakfast. It is early in the season, and the 50 degree mornings have brought the KCRPCA out in force with 30 to 40 members showing up. And, to the best of my knowledge, we are the only club that meets EVERY Saturday. We have a special thing. Join us at LePeep 7:30 am – 7900 Quivira
6) Our Changing of the Guard event sold out! It is a special thing when people volunteer their time to serve others, to then step aside and let the next group carry the torch.
I’m feeling quite proud to be a member and serve you as your President for 2018. I hope to carry on a great tradition with the KCRPCA. I wear the Helmet of Authority proudly.
