The Green Mountain Region will host its Annual Holiday party on Saturday, November 27th at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier. We will also be celebrating our 35th Anniversary as a recognized Region of Porsche Club of America.

The evening will kick off at 6.00pm with cocktails (cash bar) and light appetizers. At 7.00pm a dinner buffet featuring three entrees will be served - Vermont Chicken Breast with Vermont Cheddar Cheese & Ham in an Apple Cider Sauce, Pan Roasted Salmon with Baby Shrimp American Sauce and Baked Cheese Stuffed Shells. The entrees will be accompanied by salad, rice, seasonal vegetables, dessert and coffee. The cost for dinner is $50/ person.

New this year, we will hold a Raffle and Silent Auction at the Holiday Party with the proceeds going towards the Vermont Food Bank fundraiser. Among the raffle prizes are i) a branded Varsity jacket, ii) a $100 gift certificate from Bullfrog Auto in Milton, iii) two $50 gift certificates to the restaurant of your choice and iv) three registration fee waivers for 2022 GMR events.

To register for the GMR Holiday party please go to https://msreg.com/GMR-Holiday-Party. To ensure your place do so by November 19.

The Capitol Plaza Hotel is holding a limited number of rooms at the holiday rate of $149+tax. To obtain the discounted rate please send an email to [email protected] and request the Green Mountain Region rate.

Our club is once again conducting a fundraiser for the benefit of the Vermont Food Bank whose efforts reach all corners of our state. GMR hosted a similar event in 2020 and raised over $6,600 through member contributions, the GMR matching donation of $2,000 and a PCA donation of $750.

While the 2020 fundraiser was successful, it would be great if we could top last year’s total. You may not be aware, but food banks are able to purchase more food per dollar than the average consumer. Making a donation to the Vermont Food Bank is a great way to help fellow Vermonters who may need support during challenging times. The Board encourages you to be generous by donating to this wonderful Vermont based organization.

To make a donation please go to the Vermont Food Bank website at https://fundraise.vtfoodbank.org/GMR_Charity-Drive_2021. The process is secure, fast and easy.

It's not just the cars --- it's the people!
