PCA National Event Updates:
With the CDC recently announcing that if you have been vaccinated, you no longer are required to wear a mask indoors or outdoors, confusion has arisen. Many states have adopted the new CDC recommendation while California is reviewing its current restrictions. For the time being, PCA encourages all regions to follow their state and local guidelines regarding the wearing of masks. For Zone 7 regions and counties, masks are still required indoors. Please ensure that your members comply until further guidance is issued by your county or the state.
Werks Reunion Monterey is on schedule for August 13th with registration opening on June 16th.

Also being held is the Porsche Corral and Hospitality tent at the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca on the weekend, August 14-15th. Volunteers are needed. Please send me an email if you are interested. You must have event tickets to volunteer.
