Diablo PCA provides a welcoming and engaging community that enriches our member's Porsche ownership experience. "Revving up for 2024: Celebrating our Club's 40th Anniversary with Exciting Plans in Store!" As we approach the end of 2023, our Board of Directors and Committee Chairs are already implementing plans for 2024 - our Club's 40th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, we have a lot of exciting plans in the pipeline. The centerpiece of our anniversary celebration will be the Memorial Day weekend (May 25, 26, and 27.) We’ll conduct two tours and a rally, hold two dinners, hold a fun car show, and compete at the Zone 7 Concours. Be sure to “Save the Date!” Throughout 2024, we plan approximately 20 weekday, weekend, and multi-day tours throughout California. In addition, we'll be hosting four driver education (DE) events, including Laguna Seca, Sonoma, and Thunderhill. Our monthly "Porsches and Pastries" event will change its format to take us through Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano Counties. And, of course, we'll have weekly breakfasts, monthly dinners, and social events, including the Picnic and Holiday Party. We encourage you to participate in celebrating our anniversary during the Memorial Day Weekend and our Club events throughout the year as you plan for next year. They provide fantastic experiences shared with welcoming helpful people. We encourage you to step forward and increase your fun by joining our DE and Tour Committees or volunteering at an event.
