VIEW FROM THE VALLEY – June 2019

Presenting the new digital Challenge magazine

Welcome to the latest chapter in the history of our Challenge newsletter, introducing the digital Challenge.  We are continuing the journey of producing a newsletter that has adapted throughout the years while presenting our club with information on club events and topics that complement our passion for all things Porsche.  We are excited about the capabilities of the new medium to provide more dynamic content to our members and color photos!   

I would like to introduce our new Challenge Chair and Production Manager, Eric Richmond.  He is a relatively new CVR member who volunteered to help with whatever we needed in coming up with an electronic version of Challenge.  He then proceeded to do all the heavy lifting to develop the digital Challenge that we see today.  We cannot thank him enough for fulfilling the PCA motto “Fueled by Volunteers”.

Thank you to my fellow Challenge Transformation team members, Jeff Coe, Don Phelan and Shelley Krohnengold for their efforts during the process to create the digital Challenge and the support during the coming months to ensure the continued success of Challenge

I cannot list all the adjectives needed to describe the magnificent service to CVR that Shelley has provided over the last 10 years as Challenge Editor.  He has produced an award winning publication that is a 1st class presentation of CVR activities.  He certainly deserves to receive accolades from the CVR members and respite from the monthly publishing schedule. 

Here is some info on several Challenge volunteering opportunities and encourage you to consider joining the team.   The Challenge staff will be the key to success as we begin this part of the Challenge journey.  Please contact Eric to answer any questions about volunteering at challengechair@cvrpca.org.
