Young Professional Group Forming The Missouri CTF Chapter is forming a Young Professional (YP) Group for individuals in the 18-26 age range. The goal of the YP group will be to raise funds and increase public awareness of NF, and to provide opportunities for the YP’ers to connect with the youth and host events for the youth of the Chapter. Potential events may include college concerts, wine tasting/auction, progressive dinner parties, mixers, etc. Please contact Ashley Meyer at (314) 583-2365 or (636) 861-2365 for more information.
UPCOMING EVENTS: STLPCA POKER RUNThe St. Louis Region, Porsche Club of America (STLPCA) is hosting their annual Poker Run on Sunday, May 20th, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. , the proceeds of which will benefit the Missouri Chapter of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. A continental breakfast will be available during registration. Join us for a day of fun as we spin through a beautifully scenic route, with three (3) scheduled checkpoints along the way, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Prizes will be awarded for the best hands, so don’t miss out! Plans provide a chance to spend the day with our friends from the STLPCA and will include a late lunch with attendance prizes at the last stop along the route. You don’t have to be an ace at poker to participate; it’s more about enjoying the ride, relaxing and having some fun.
