From the Prez

FSR Members,
Spring driving weather is arriving and we are off to a great start in 2012 with our record attendance at monthly breakfasts in both Richmond and Chesapeake, a great New Year event in Williamsburg with almost 100 members in attendance, and some great events planned over the next several months.
You can read about the New Year event elsewhere in this HO, to include our 2011 award winners, but one highlight is the fact FSR’s great attitude toward helping others was evident at this first event of the year. A simple idea of a “White Elephant” silent auction turned into a normal FSR response of some great items being donated and over $2000 raised for charity! We are well on our way to setting another record year of raising money for our charities as well as trying to do some more “hands on” events for those organizations (I won’t steal Josie’s thunder so look for her charity information).
For those who attended the New Year event and heard about the plans for our spring charity event, we’ve had a change in plan and intend to conduct the combined FSR and Shenandoah event at a later date. In its place, we working the details for a different event involving some of our charities this June...stay tuned for details.
We are looking forward to more events in both of our main geographical areas. Folks are stepping forward with some great ideas for events as well as offering to put them together...this team effort should make this year’s driving season a great one to enjoy our Porsches and the camaraderie of our fellow enthusiasts.
Thanks to all who signed up for permanent name tags. I encourage everyone who participates in our events to sign up for them... it sure helps those of us like me who are “visual” learners and can put names with faces much better if I’ve seen it in writing! We are continuing to get new members and they appreciate it as well since they have more folks to meet.
I hope to see you at many of our events this spring! Dave McFaddin President, First Settlers Region

Dave_McFaddinFSR Members,

I trust everyone is enjoying the spring/summer weather and getting on the road with their Porsches and Porsche friends. We
already had some great events this spring and have a full plate for the next couple of months as well. Please see our events
listed here in the HO as well as on our website.

As a reminder, one of the big events of the summer for PCA is the Porsche Parade which is being held in Salt Lake City, UT in
July. Registration is still open and we have several folks attending. But you should make some decisions soon since some of the events are already sold out.
I just returned from the Zone 2 president’s board meeting and have a few tidbits of news for your information. For you newer PCA
members there are 139 PCA regions and the regions are grouped into Zones. First Settlers and 9 other regions belong to Zone 2.
The regions in Zone 2 cover Virginia, DC, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. One of the topics we discussed at the Zone 2
meeting is the desire to hold a non-competitive weekend event for the zone filled with driving tours, dinners, etc…stay tuned and
let one of our board members know if you are interested in helping with such an event should we get the wheels rolling on the
idea. Also, if you are going to be traveling in any of the states listed in Zone 2 you can go to the Zone 2 calendar link on our FSR
website and see region events you may be interested in attending.
One item I hoped to let you know about after the Zone 2 meeting was this year’s Baltimore Grand Prix, scheduled for Labor Day
weekend. However, it looks like there are many financial negotiations to still occur before it will come to fruition…so stay tuned.
On the other hand, in September the American LeMans Series (ALMS) race at VIR promises to be a great event. If you are
interested in attending, it was recommended to wait to buy tickets until Porsche announces their tickets on sale for the designated
area, the Porsche Platz, at the VIR track!
Finally, remember to keep your calendars open for June 16th when we will have our major charity event for the spring/summer. It
will involve tours and lunch at the Foodbanks in Richmond and Virginia Beach followed by their respective Fun Runs to
Williamsburg where we will have a great evening with dinner, a special guest speaker and our silent auction for charity. Stay
tuned for details soon.
Hope to see you at many of our events this spring and summer. And remember, it’s not just the cars…it’s the people!

Inspired by the "Track Ready" session at LMN Motorsports I sat down with Lutzo to hear some great stories. Let's start with work history. Lutzo started working on Porsches and Volkswagens in 1969 with [ ... ]
