SOCIAL EVENTS 2009
Jody Lagioia - PCA Potomac Social Chair
The social side of the club is a neutral part of every one of the club's programs. The club is all about the people, and you will find a warm welcome at all Potomac events. Last year we started an informal monthly breakfast meeting which is held on the first Saturday of each month at the Chutzpah Deli in Tyson’s Corner and the third Saturday of the month at the Irish Inn in Glen Echo, MD. These breakfasts continue to be very popular and draw 30 -60 Club members and spouses at each event. For many of these members the Breakfast is their first Potomac event, and one that they enjoyed immensely. Now that the weather is improving, John Eberhardt, our Drive and Dine Chair is adding informal drive after some of the breakfasts. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the cars on some of the terrific cruising routes around the area.
Our Drive & Dine events, the many car shows in our Concours program, and the quarterly Open Board meetings are also great opportunities to share in the life of the club. Check the Calendar for dates.
Our Social calendar provides many great events again this year. For those of you who participated in any of last year's social events, hopefully it was a positive experience and you will back again this year! Please share your experience with other members and encourage all to come out and enjoy the fun with your fellow members in 2009.
