West Michigan Region History - A Short Course

The Western Michigan Region of PCA began at an organizing meeting, held October 22, 1960, at Greenridge Country Club in Grand Rapids. Attendees numbered 31, and all voted to form the club known as PCA Western Michigan. The first club meeting was December 3, 1960, and met every other month. WMR was one of the charter members that went to the National PCA meeting in Pittsburgh, PA to present our formal petition for charter on December 3, 1960.

"Activities favored for events were ice runs, rallies, gymkahnas, and hill climbs with technical speakers and films as features at regular meetings."

The first publication from PCA Western Michigan was Porsche Faces Life, with Vol. 1 No. 1 dated November 15, 1960.

Since 1995, WMR has held fund-raising functions and donated profits from events and sales of items to local non-profit institutions such as Building Blocks and the Make A Wish Foundation.

Much has happened since then.  We have over 450 members - all great people who share their passion for all things Porsche.  We enjoy competitive driving events, social events, and fun-raising (that's not a typo!)  If you're not in the club, you're not one of us.  But you can - and should - be a member.  Click the link on the left to Join PCA!
