Given the fiscal health of our chapter, the board has begun the process of hiring some web site designers to revamp our now aging internet persona. Given the heaps of technology that have come and gone since porschenet.com first crackled to life over the internet airwaves, we expect to have all the modern amenities including 8 bit gray scale graphics, pop up spam as well as download speeds of up to 1200 baud. And if we can scrape together a little extra bandwidth, I’m hoping for a complete collection of anime for on demand download.  

The new website will be called:
A) Andy’sExcellentAdventure.com
B) LordOfTheDings.com
C) Gurgle.com
D) The greatest achievement in the history of all mankind

Now that you’ve completed the final, I’d simply like to thank you all for not running me out of town over the past two years for crimes against the nation.  It has been my great pleasure to serve you all in what little capacity I might. More than that it has been highly rewarding to have had the opportunity to witness, understand and learn how clubs of our ilk manage to exist, let alone thrive. I’m quite proud to have hopefully entertained you somewhat along the way.  To the outgoing board members, all I can say is, as a PCA member, thank you so much for the wonderful work you’ve done! For my part, I look forward to taking over for Rick and I hope that I’ll be able to live up to the standards we’ve all come to expect.  It is a high hurdle, but I’ll do my best to drive around it! Next meeting is at the Webers on Sunday January 15th. Take it away Michelle!  Peace.
