Today is Nov 7

11/7, 7 am Adopt-a-Roadway
Come join us for the semi-annual scrubbing of our segment of Orange Grove Road.

CHANGE OF VENUE
A new Krispy Kreme donut shop has opened on North Oracle just in time for November's outing. Rather than having coffee and donuts in the parking lot on Orange Grove as we have for the last few years instead we'll gather at 7:00 at the donut shop which is located at 7805 N. Oracle. Krispy Kreme is just south of Magee on the W side of Oracle. That is about 1.7 miles N of our normal Orange Grove meeting place. After enjoying the club supplied donuts and coffee we'll head down to Orange Grove for our usual clean up. If you want to pass on the donuts you can meet the group at our usual meeting place in the parking lot on the SE corner of Oracle and Orange Grove. We will head out from there at about 7:30. Long pants, gloves and sturdy shoes are suggested. We should be done in less than two hours.You can sign up now on the club's web site ( pcasar.com) or you can sign up at the November membership meeting.

ADDED EVENT
The recent survey proved the membership's interest in community service and willingness to help with buffelgrass removal. In order to begin the implementation of this project Rink and Jan will be hosting a short hands on demonstration of buffelgrass removal after we've completed the trash pick up. There's plenty of the stuff along our stretch of Orange Grove so we won't have to go anywhere else. Participation in the road clean up does not obligate you to dig buffelgrass nor does digging buffelgrass obligate you to the trash pick up. Come for both or come for one. The buffelgrass demonstration should be underway by about 9:15-9:30 and will last less than an hour. We'll start out from the parking lot as above. Everyone will have a chance to get their hands dirty. Everything needed for digging buffelgrass will be supplied.

We hope you'll want to join other club members in this our regular Adopt-A-Roadway community service project and that you'll also want to see what's involved as we expand our activities to include the elimination of buffelgrass.

1/23, 16th Annual 2010 - Tubac Car Show

It's That Time Again!
Mark your calendars and be prepared to experience one of Arizona's largest car shows. The 16th Annual Collector Car Show will feature approximately 500 vehicles, including, but not limited to, street rods, motrocycles, trucks, antique collector cars, and the favorite of PCA-SAR members, many different years and models of the world's finest built car.... Porsche, which has been a separate Class for several years. Net proceeds from this event support scholarships and grad night activities at Sahuarita High School, including the popular "Car Give Away".

A Weekend Getaway
The show is hosted on the lush driving range grass of the Tubac Golf Resort and Spa, 1 Otero Road, Tubac, AZ 85646, phone: (520)398-2211, where friends and families share a weekend of fun and relaxation with fellow car collectors and fans. Don't miss out on the Friday night (1/22/10) BBQ & Cruise. Festivities begin at the Friday Night BBQ and Cruise. BBQ beef, roasted chicken, smoked sausage, and all the "fixins" make this even an annual favorite. Make it a full week-end getaway, by booking your hotel.

A Splendid Event
This year's event promises to be a great one. Winter is the perfect time of year to enjoy the wonderful Arizona weather, basking under clear skies surrounded by the glistening chrome that decorates some of the world's greatest automobiles. Over 2000 spectators are expected to pass by our cars. First, second, and third place awards are given, based on ballots from all show participants. Awards will be announced around 3PM.
