There have been lots of events this year and tremendous efforts to get volunteers to support all the activities. The club is still looking for more volunteers as we can use the help. OVR PCA has had a successful year and summer with many new faces and member participation. There have been great turnouts from entire region from all corners of OVR PCA. Focus is on attracting and retaining new members, family events, wine events and more social activities. The job of the Vice President is to ensure insurance coverage on all events. We have an upcoming Mason Heritage Parade event on September 21st, including fireworks. The White Allen Porsche club HPDE collaboration brought a race car to the Wyoming Exotic Wheels & Wine event to help publicize our HPDE events.
