Early May 2024
 Greetings and Salutations,
Safety is important whether you’re at home, at play, or on the job. How about we take safety to the next level? I hear you and you’re asking, “But how?” That’s a totally reasonable question and the answer is obvious. Participate in Wear Your Helmet To Work Day! This May 3rd have the safest day ever by wearing your snazziest protective gear during your 9 to 5. This safety conscious behavior could net you a brand spanking new helmet to wear next year, see details via the link above. If you do choose to participate and document with a safety selfie, we’d love to see it here. I can’t think of anything more mirthful than a gallery of behelmeted (is that even a word? It is now!) APRCA members in the wild. Don’t have a helmet? You are in luck there becuase are currently a few helmets available on the Mart! A special thanks to the ARPCA member who shared this event, you know who you are! If you’re looking for some more traditional venues to wear your safety gear, you might want to check out the write-ups below. Brunch at The Lot might not require PPE but if you happen to pair your eggs benedict with a helmet, we’d love to see it and can pretty much guarantee your submission will end up featured on the main page Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor. |

 Porsche Touring Crew – Iron Bridge Inn – May 28th
This May the Porsche Touring Crew is 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. |
