When: Saturday, May 19, 2012.

Sample Menu: http://www.bavarianinnwv.com/Lunch-Menu-September-2011.pdf

Put the top down, pull out your favorite driving cap or hat, and rub on a little sun tan lotion as we are off to drive hill and dale through areas of Maryland few of us may have ever seen as we drive west along old Fredrick Road and other county roads to our eventual destination. But before we arrive in Shepherdstown, we are in for a driving treat where we will drive to and cross over the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry! Awaiting us upon arrival is the Bavarian Inn / Greystone Mansion that was originally built upon a 12-acre estate in 1930 by Erwin Asam and Yvonne Carol, both native born Germans from Munich. The couple originally built it as their private residence to overlook the Potomac River. In 1962 the residence was converted to the Inn you see today.

Just in case you haven't already had German cuisine, you are in for a real treat. After lunch, think about a walk from the Inn to historic Shepherdstown to see the many shops. Approximately a 15 minute drive from the Inn is the Antietam Battlefield, Charlestown Races and the Hollywood Casino. You can also rent a bike and explore the C&O Canal, or bring your clubs and Golf at a nearby Private Club. For the more adventurous, there is whitewater rafting. So please join us and enjoy the company of your fellow club members.

    TECH SESSION
    Porsche of Towson Collison Center

    JULY 21, 2012
    9:30 - 11:30 a.m.


    1765 E. Joppa Road
    Parkville, MD 21234
    410-823-3400
    (map)

    The PCA-Chesapeake Tech Committee is pleased to announce an upcoming Tech Session! We hope you will be able to join us at Porsche of Towson's new Collision Center in Parkville, MD.

    Robert Lettiere is the Collision Director and manages the facility. Rob has a long career working with Porsche and with the PCA. He ran a big Porsche repair facility in Los Angeles, prior to coming to Baltimore to establish this operation. The Center has been certified for BMW and Mini repairs, and is in the final stages of certification for Porsche. This is a demanding process since Porsche makes sure a shop has the equipment, staff, and knowledge to produce results that meet their exacting standards. After touring the shop briefly and seeing many Porsches, BMW's, and Mini's in various states of repair, it's clear Rob's operation does great work.

    Rob will provide some nice food at the Tech Session. He'll also be giving away T-shirts, some jackets, magazine subscriptions, and detail kits. And he'll have a couple new 991's from Towson Porsche for us to see.

    RSVP (for # of T-shirts and food) by sending and e-mail to Doug Ehmann at dougehmann@comcast.net, or by calling 410-592-2962.
