We continued our annual tradition with another gathering at GMP Mooresville in October. The weather was ideal and we had about 100 PCA members, friends, and GMP staff attending the event. Just look at the buffet below (provided by GMP as usual) and you understand why these meetings are always very popular...
Just walking through the Porsche Corral was worth attending the monthly meeting at GMP:
The buffet: great barbecue with all the fixings... Beer and wine were compliments of our PCA AD budget.
The crowd had to endure another lengthy talk by yours truly (😉)... We had several first timers attending (they always receive a little gift), sharing their love for the brand. We provided a brief recap of our last PCA drive organized by Don Savage (these drives are very popular, and Don does a great job! Thank you!!!👍)
Then several members of the GMP staff addressed the PCA group. GMP provides - aside from full-service work for our Porsches - upgrades, tunes, repairs, professional cleaning, etc. And - of course - let's not forget the track side assistance they can provide, especially with the annual DE event at VIR coming up. I have used this service for a VIR event in the past and it was outstanding.
As usual, we conducted our always popular raffle at the end of the meeting. We raffled off many great prizes including items from the PCA Goodie Store, Griot's garage, Hagerty, and Jeff Matthew (he donated another of his great Porsche cutting boards, see below).
We were able to raise $900.00 for our charity, Children's Hope Alliance/Barium Springs Home for the Children in Troutman, bringing our total for the year to over $5,500! Please see below our October raffle winner Jim Meletiou, winning a beautiful Porsche cutting board (thank you Jeff), and a PCA duffle bag that fits perfectly in a Porsche frunk. Congrats!
And here is our September raffle winner, Mike Venditti:
