Tour Time Eric Kent & Miller ADAMS I attended the recent Olympic Peninsula Tour (OPT) ��� at least the first two segments before returning to Seattle to attend two weddings. It was a fabulous day of blue sky and sun. Doug Fillbach planned and led this Tour for the ���umpteenth��� year. Thanks Doug. Watching him get everything organized the morning of the Tour reminded me of how fortunate we are to have so many volunteers willing to share their time and talent. (We ask for volunteers for each Tour and never seem to be at a loss). Our president, Bill Bauer, also attended the OPT. As we walked around looking at the cars and chatting I asked Bill how he thought the year was unfolding. He mentioned that we are already half way through the program year. This caught me by surprise. However, looking at page 4 of the July Spiel it���s easy to see we really have covered a lot of ground as Porsche enthusiasts. There are more Tours ahead ���Sun Mountain / PCA Escape / Cannon Beach. Volunteers are at work planning all these Tours. Please give some thought to helping out on one of these Tours. We need volunteers for Administration (at the start of the Tour), Group Leaders, Group Sweepers, Observer (a PCA Requirement), Medical professionals (just in case), Spiel Article Author and those willing to share their photos after the Tour. If all this works right, it seems effortless. Call us or drop a note to the Tours e-mail address if you want to volunteer to help. He was pleased to hear this news. We are a very large Region in the Porsche Club of America (PCA) ��� one of the largest. But our overall participation is low on a percentage basis. Tours seem to be a good starting point for new members as they get involved with the extensive array of opportunities to hang out with like minded Porsche People!!! A reminder ��� if you are attending the Sun Mountain or Cannon Beach Tours you need to RSVP to Tours@pnwr.org, and also look for meal choice information on the club website, www.pnwr.org. I hope to see you one of the remaining 2011 Tours. I also mentioned to Bill that we are getting a good number of first-timers at each Tour. Miller Adams Club Event 10 September 2011
