Summer Travels
Our summer travels to the Zone 6 regions continued this month with a visit to Sisters, OR, and High Desert Region’s Annual Picnic. This was followed by a drive with our home region, Silver Sage, through western Oregon and ending in Walla Walla. On the way home we stopped in Lewiston to visit friends and ride in their new GT4 RS. Yes, these are hard to find Porsche’s, but obtaining a build slot is made a lot easier when you win the Spring PCA Car Raffle! Each spring and fall PCA holds a member only raffle for a new Porsche. The 2023 Fall raffle is expected to open the first week in October. Get your ticket(s) at The Porsche Club of America (pca.org). This is a great way to support PCA.

Zone 6 signature events, which can be found at www.zone6.pca.org. Upcoming Zone 6 Signature events currently open for registration include Silver Sage’s Oktoberfast (https://silversageporsche.com/ ). Zone 6 abounds in great roads to drive and great automotive venues.
Many of you have heard of the horrific forest fire on Maui. Unfortunately, we are experiencing many forest fires here in Zone 6. Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia are all experiencing major forest fires. Many of the fires have resulted in structure loss and forced evacuations. Some of these fires are impacting our fellow PCA’rs. The Kelowna area of BC and the Medical Lake area west of Spokane have been especially hard hit. Sometimes we can only ‘watch from the sidelines.’ However, if you have friends in the area, reach out and see how they are doing and what we can do for them. Knowing someone cares can greatly help those in the midst of a significant loss.
Parting shot. Raffel Winner
Stay healthy and we will see you in the Zone.
