Happy PCA - Chicago Region Year 56!
Now is the time we waited for all winter. The sun shines a little longer each day, I’m trusting the temperature will warm up and my honey-do-list is about as done as it’s going to get until next winter.
I’m starting off with a challenge to you. Please continue to attend your favorite events but I challenge you to attend at least one new event this season. As I always say, what’s the worst that can happen - you drive your Porsche, spend the day in the fresh air, talk to other enthusiasts, make some new friends and avoid chores and emails! Total Win-Win.
