Are you new to the club? Getting re-engaged? A long time member who just wants to hang out with other Porsche enthusiasts?

If so, then we would like to welcome and invite you to the Green Mountain Region’s “Shift into Spring” event on April 25th. While this event is designed around our new members, all GMR members are welcome to enjoy a social gathering where you can connect with fellow Porsche enthusiasts, meet the 2026 board members, learn more about PCA, upcoming events, and opportunities within the club.

We will gather at the Cafe Provence in Brandon, VT at 1.00pm for lunch and where we will welcome our new members. As an added incentive to attend we are planning to have two driving tours to the event venue, one from south central Vermont and one from the greater Burlington area. Needless to say, the tours and new member gathering are open to all GMR members whether new or seasoned.

Expect great conversations, an impressive lineup of Porsches, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects what the Porsche community is all about — passion, performance, and people.

Whether this is your first GMR event or your fifth, we’d love to have you join us and start the season together. We look forward to seeing you and welcoming you in person!

The Lunch menu at the Café Provence follows and the cost is $35/person. Please make your menu selections for yourself and any guest as part of the registration process.
