    Palmetto Pipes PCA Palmetto Region www.pcapalmetto.org May 2010 Porsche - Corvette Challenge RESULTS First of all thank you to the Porsche club members that came out to the Veteran’s Victory House Car Show hosted by the Walterboro Cruisers Car Club on Saturday, May 8th. Unfortunately we lost the challenge of having the most “Club Cars” in attendance being beat out 12 to 6. I do believe that we could beat that number next year. The show was for a great cause, supporting our Vet- erans. 2011 PORSCHE PARADE I’ve been told that the 2011 Parade is going to be practically in our backyard. Savannah, GA has been chosen as next years Parade sight. This is a great opportunity to go see some great cars, participate in great events, spend time with great people and meet even more great people. As with most Parade’s volunteers are going to be needed I’d really like to see our region offer it’s help. As more information is available we’ll provide it to you. MYRTLE BEACH GROUP ANIMAL SHELTER CONCOURS Our friends and members in the Myrtle Beach area once again put on a successful Porsche’s only con- cours to benefit the North Myrtle Beach Animal Shelter. It was a great day for showing cars and mingling with great friends and meeting new ones too. We even had a few “adoptable” dogs come out and browse around the cars. Remember if your looking for a new “furry” companion got check out your local shelters. There are hundreds of animals that need a good home.
