Mid March 2024
Hello esteemed members of the ARPCA, Beware the Ides of March! Or you may end up with a salad named after you. I jest. The Caesar Salad is absolutely not named after Julius Caesar it’s reportedly named after Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, circa 1920’s. If you fancy Caesar Salad or maybe just the company of some of your favorite ARPCA friends you will find some helpful information below. Admittedly, that is one of the weakest segue ways I have ever written, easily the cheesiest. They can’t all be gems. However, if you join the PTC in May the Iron Bridge does absolutely have a Caesar Salad on the menu. Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor. |

 Porsche Touring Crew – Iron Bridge Inn – May 28th
This May the Porsche Touring Crew heading north to Mercer, PA. For the first time ever we will lunch at the Iron Bridge Inn, one of eight Springfield restaurant locations. Sign up early if you plan to attend this lunch. Due to the size of the restaurant, we have a firm limit of 26 for lunch. Additionally, with restrictions they impose, we are going to order on arrival from a limited lunch menu. The details are yet to be worked out on the menu and it depends on what is on the spring lunch menu. We do expect to have offerings of beef, fish, and salad(s). They do not allow separate checks for larger groups, so we will be charging $25.00 when registering. The charge covers the meal, gratuity, and tax and includes a non-alcoholic drink. They will have an open cash bar. We will be passing the “oil can” to collect a contribution to support our 2024 charity, Tunnel2Towers Foundation. |
