PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA KEYSTONE REGION
July 2014
DRIVE AND DINE to Susquehanna Valley Country Club Sunday, July 13th
Summer is here and it's time to gather the
Porsches for a scenic drive through the
spectacular countryside of Central
Pennsylvania. Dick and Nan Meyer will be
your caravan leaders from the State College
area. Meet up with them and your fellow
Keystoners behind the McDonald's at Nittany
Mall at 10:00 AM. From there, the Meyers'
will lead you on a beautiful drive to
Susquehanna Valley Country Club in
Hummels Wharf, PA.
We'll start the afternoon, around 12:00 noon, with snacks and a cash bar outside overlooking the
Susquehanna Valley. Then we'll continue into the Club for a buffet luncheon. The cost for the
luncheon is $20.00 per person which Gwen Cornell will collect that day. There will be special
parking for our Porsches, so shine them up and we will give the country club members a show.
Our Zone 2 Rep, Cheryl Taylor, will be attending this event as her annual visit to our region.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet her. She works hard for us, so let's make it a good turn out in
her honor.
The club's address is One Country Club Rd. and the entrance is on Mill Rd. in Hummels Wharf.
Come south on Rt.15 and turn right onto Mill Rd. immediately after Dairy Queen and the golf
course.
If you're planning on attending, please email Gwen at [email protected] by
July 6th.
Last year we had seventeen cars. Let's see if we can do even better this year.
See you on the 13th.
CARS AND COFFEE at RESTLESS OAKS - SATURDAY, JUNE 7th
The weather couldn't have been any better for this past Saturday's Cars and Coffee. What a perfect day to get
your P-car out of the garage and drive the backroads to McElhattan's Restless Oaks Restaurant. As usual, we all
had a great breakfast and sat around afterwards chatting about past Porsche stories and future travel plans. Again,
John Voda from Wyalusing wins the prize for coming the farthest. McCardles' were in from Lewistown and the
Durrwachters' from Laporte - also not short trips. Tom Fitzpatrick, the Meyers', Stucks', Sears' , Bob
Fredericksen, the Emerys' and the Cornells' finished out our group. It was great to see everyone. Till next
time.......

Membership:
Missed the anniversary year of one of our long term
members. Bill Bowman joined in 1988 and should
have been listed as celebrating 26years of PCA
membership. Sorry about that Bill.

Safety:
Talked with several region members who attended the driving seminar on May 18th at our Cars and
Coffee breakfast on June 7. They commented about modifying their driving techniques based on the
discussion and how much smoother th ey now felt on the curves. Great to hear.
Have encountered an interesting observation regarding new VW/Audi/Porsche tow vehicles such as
the Cayenne. Apparently those equipped with the towing package are not shipped with the receptacle
to plug in the trailer wiring. If you take delivery assure the dealer has installed the receptacle
otherwise you could be in for a shock when you go to use the trailer. It's about a 5 minute job to
unbolt the blank plate over the wiring harness termination, couple the receptacle to the harness, and
bolt in the receptacle. If you have the receptacle to match the harness termination; my spare
receptacles require hard wiring. My brother-in-law was not a happy camper since he was planning to
head to California in a few days for Parade.
FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL
-Bob Cornell
I know it's summer. How can I tell? One way is that Gwen and I seem to be on the road every weekend. We've just
returned from Baltimore, New York City, and Pinehurst, NC. Now it's time for some serious car stuff.
Our recent detailing and safety clinic at Black Walnut was a great success and the June cars and coffee was well
attended as always. Many thanks to Eric Dash and Fred Sears for the tech session. Also, thanks to Gwen for another
fun cars and coffee. Coming up we have the Six Hours at the Glen and the Pittsburgh Vintage races in (where else?)
Pittsburgh.
Our July event is a Drive and Dine at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club in Hummels Wharf, PA. Please check
out the details in this issue of Keynotes. This event is important to me for a couple of reasons. One is that Gwen and
I belong to this club and we want to show off a little. There's nothing like 20 Porsches lined up to show them what the
really cool people are doing. Secondly, our new Zone Rep, Cheryl Taylor, will be attending. She's a really nice lady
who works very hard for us. Please take this opportunity to meet her and make her feel welcome. I think that's about
it for this issue of Keynotes. See you on the 13th.
And remember: It's not just about the cars-it's about the people!
