This very special evening will start with a complimentary wine and beer reception at 7:00pm. We’ll have Steam Whistle beer on tap and there will be numerous Hors d’oeuvres to whet your appetite. This will be followed by a three-course, table service dinner starting at 7:30pm, with a cash bar available for the rest of the evening.

Live dancing music will be provided after dinner by The Neckties, a 5 member band based in Don Mills. This group has performed for charities, corporations and associations for over 20 years and is the perfect group to help us to party for our 35th. They are very customer-oriented and they play material that their audience can relate to.  After the dessert course, we’ll open up the dance floor and The Neckties will entertain us with their best songs to get everyone up and dancing. 

A block of rooms has been set-aside for our Porsche Club. Please make your reservations directly with Westin Reservations at 1-800-325-3535. Please state that you’re attending the PCA/UCR 35th Anniversary Gala or just mention the words Upper Canada Region, UCR Porsche Club or Porsche Club.  

The highlight of this evening will be the sharing of a truly unique Porsche Experience. We will be honoured to have three special guests. Toronto Star Columnist Lorraine Sommerfeld, mechanic Aaron Prevost and our own Rick Bye will be our guest speakers to describe in more detail some very unique track rides in a Porsche Boxster at Mosport in 2011. This is a feel-good story that you’ll surely want to hear about in person. We’ve also pleased to have Joe Lawrence, President of Porsche Cars Canada. Joe will update us on all the recent developments at Porsche.

We’ve also sent out 35th Anniversary Gala invitations to all club Past Presidents as well as to all long-term (5-35 year) UCR members. We mailed out over 200 invitations and we plan to award special award certificates to any of these individuals who are in the audience to help us celebrate UCR’s 35th.

Our venue, the Toronto Westin Harbour Castle Hotel is near Yonge and Queens’s Quay, with easy on/off access to the Gardiner expressway. You can also get there by TTC or GO Train.
