Mid March 2023

 

Hello All,

Just another friendly reminder that the registration deadline for the upcoming All Member Dinner at the Westmoreland Country Club is Sunday, March 19th.

Looking forward we have an upcoming ARPCA Women’s all member event at Top Golf which benefits Rosedale Technical College. Porsche at The Lot makes its 2023 return. The Porsche Touring crew is set for take-off at Arnold Palmer International.  There’s links to more information for all events below.

Here’s to hoping that March goes out like a lamb.

PTC Slates April Take-off – April 25th
From Arnold Palmer Airport 

Many of us remember the autobiographical Frank Sinatra anthem, “My Way,” penned by singer/song writer Paul Anka at Sinatra’s request, which in effect, marked the close of  Sinatra’s illustrious big band and solo recording career. On April 25, ARPCA’s Porsche Touring Crew plans to open the driving season “their way” with a drive and dine feast at DeNunzio’s Chop House and Sinatra Bar (www.denunziosrestaurant/latrobe).  The “Chairman’s” namesake eatery is a well-known destination throughout Westmoreland County offering great food seasoned with a birds-eye view of the main runway at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.
