WELCOME TO SPRING!
Welcome to a beautiful spring season in Zone 6. The past month has been picking up for Kelly and myself. I spent the first week of April preparing for our annual President’s Meeting in Sydney BC. Lots to do like setting up a zoom link for presidents that were unable to make the meeting and also arranging for Lindsey Robinson, National Membership Chair, to join in and finalizing my powerpoint presentation. Also, our group was the first to use the hotel’s newly remodelled conference room so we got to test out all of their electronic equipment.
In the end, the meeting went off without a hitch. Lots of information was exchanged between the presidents, vice presidents and Aaron Ambrosino who made time in his busy schedule to present us personally with the current PCA items and information.
The second phase of parade registration happened….sort of. Almost as soon as the registration opened, the website crashed. Most people couldn’t log in at all. Some people got part way through and some actually got registered. It was quite a kerfuffle. Eventually the problem was fixed and members were able to register. Tours and other popular events filled quickly so, I am sure there will be some disappointed folks out there, including us.
Kelly and I also registered for Greater Columbia Region’s – Journey Through Time Tour Leaving from Pasco Washington and heading through the back roads of Washington and Idaho. It looks like a lot of fun and we are looking forward to our first drive as a zone rep.
Silver Sage Region wanted me to mention their annual Octoberfast Weekend October 2-4, 2026. Registration will open for this in August but I thought I would mention it here while it is top of mind. I will be posting more information on the Zone 6 website as it comes available.
As a reminder, please remember, if you have juniors on tours or participating in events, please make sure that the appropriate junior waivers are signed by the parents as per your RPM. See you on the road!
Stay healthy and we will see you in the Zone!
