Getting the cars out on the road and enjoying them. 2.) Raise money for PVGP by charging people to participate.</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">The impression I got from the tepid response was that we’ve never done that before.

Unfortunately, WPTA has already had two EXCELLENT driving events within the past month, which would have been a perfect opportunity to raise some money for PVGP. We weren’t asked by PVGP to raise a large sum of money………just to raise what we could to keep things going for the PVGP charities. The amount targeted by PVGP is something like $27,500 for the whole shebang. Between Countryside Tour, which raised over $4,000 and events held by the Porsche, Mercedes and BMW clubs, quite a bit (relatively speaking) has already been raised. Heck, the motorcycle guys even hosted a tour, using some of our Countryside Tour roads and raised some money for PVGP. Then, they did it again on 9/19!</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">My suggestion would be that we combine the best features of our two most recent (Rick Brown’s and Gary Fredo’s) events to come up with something that we could market via PVGP. We could charge anywhere between, let’s say $25 and $50 per car and open it up to all of the other clubs which actively support & participate in PVGP. We’d have to start organizing & planning IMMEDIATELY, to get it done in time to enjoy some good October driving weather, but I think we stand a very good chance of having a very successful event.</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">Count me in for whatever we need to do to put on the event.</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">Bud Osbourne<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596yqt3733146749" id="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596yqt60470"><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); padding: 3pt 0in 0in;" class=""><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal"><b class="">From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Wpta <<a href="mailto:wpta-bounces@autox.team.net" class="">wpta-bounces@autox.team.net</a>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>WPTA Secretary/Webmaster via Wpta<br clear="none" class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, September 28, 2020 8:24 AM<br clear="none" class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>WPTA List <<a href="mailto:wpta@autox.team.net" class="">wpta@autox.team.net</a>><br clear="none" class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[WPTA] PVGP 2020</p></div></div><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">Hello everyone,</p><div class=""><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div><div class=""><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">I hope you all are getting time to enjoy your British Cars and take in that the leaves are just beginning to turn for Fall! </p><div class=""><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div><div class=""><p class="ydp61dbf92eyiv6116226596MsoNormal">As The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix didn’t happen this year, their committee is trying to find ways to continue to raise money for charitiy.
