EUROPE EXPRESS TOUR:

INSURANCE:
Sunrise Travel strongly recommends travel insurance. Once you have decided to book your trip, I will go over insurance options. Travel insurance is an additional cost, but when traveling outside the USA, it is important to cover for things such as trip delay, bag delay or loss, emergency medical, emergency transportation while traveling. I will be able to help navigate you through different policy options.

ADDITIONAL FEES:
Please note: Sunrise Travel normally has an $80 per person service fee for international group bookings.  However, we did waive this fee for this group trip, because Joe Kuhl has booked with us before and we feel that Sunrise Travel is a good fit for your auto club to book with.

There are some items that could be additional charges to PCA members individually.  Some of these are listed below.  The Sunrise Travel fee starts at $80 per person for:
•• The booking of any mileage tickets for travelers, if they did not not want to book the group air
•• Pre or post add-ons and customized stays
•• Changes made to trip – such as coming home early
•• Other flights booked separately

Your package includes a host from Sunrise Travel.  Your host will help with anything that comes up on your travel adventure to maximize your enjoyment and help resolve any stress points.  Your host is well traveled and a great problem solver.

Maintaining Momentum

Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
