Dear Presidents, attached is a flier regarding the Monterey Historics coming up in just a few weeks. Surprisingly, I have gotten a great number of questions and learned just today that the attendance from our Zone is also surprisingly low.. Please circulate the flier to your membership and/or post on your webpages.

I’ve also gotten an email today from James Alton of the San Gabriel Region that there are available rooms at a new location in the area. Getting a room is the hardest part of the going to Monterey…

Lastly, Walt Branscome of Porsche of Santa Barbara is willing to be one of our host stops on the “Road to Monterey” and I am putting together a few touches on loosely organizing Porsche caravans to pick up cars from San Diego with additional at pickup points along the way. More to come.

Please distribute as soon as possible—registratio n fees go up beginning July 15.
