MEMBER EVENT
26
MAR / APR 2019
STAN THORNE
my time as your president has come to an end. It is time to step aside and let the next chapter of KCRPCA begin. It is a time to look back at the success of the club, thank those who have been a part of it, and cast a vision for the future. That sentiment is represented in the President’s Helmet of Authority. Presi- dents have signed and worn the helmet since 1966.
This year’s Changing of the Guard event was held in the new facilities of Porsche KC. They graciously made their service waiting room area available for our social hour, and their service bay area available for our main festivities.
I opened the festivities with a reading from our website.
“We are here to tell you it’s okay. It’s okay to sit in your Porsche and smile. It’s okay to look for the long twisty roads from childhood. It’s okay to want to get out and drive your Porsche. We get it. In fact, we celebrate it. We celebrate Porsche ownership by creating unique driving and social experiences for our club members. Whether it is a dinner drive or track event, a gimmick run or an autocross, we celebrate driving our Porsches. Come join nearly 750 other Porsche owners who like to get out and drive. We are the Kansas City Region
Changing of the Guard
TCIME TO SAY THANK YOU
hanging of the Guard is prob- I’m proud to say we maxed out the new ably my most favorite event of building with 80+ KCRPCA members in the year. And sadly, this year, attendance.
