Second Annual Turkey Trot Drive - Thanksgiving is observed (among many other reasons) as a harvest festival. It also serves as a reflection of gratitude for life’s privileges, a celebration of good fortunes, and a time for sharing. Before this backdrop, 25 APRPCA members gathered on November 25 to enjoy the Second Annual Turkey Trot Drive. 
The November Mixer returned to Canton, where about a dozen Appalachian members celebrated at Bear Waters Brewing. Both the food and drink were good, as they have a kitchen and a brewery in the building. 
A small but dedicated Black Mountain Perks group met at the Monte Vista Hotel in Black Mountain to share stories while enjoying a coffee and the fireplace. 
On Saturday, November 11, 2023, 19 Appalachian Region members made the trek to Hickory to visit the Appalachian Region Sponsor and Porsche Certified Collision Center, K&M Collision.

Deja vu – the Appalachian Region was chartered in 2015, and to commemorate our short history we rerun old stories in this space. In November 2018 we conducted our first-ever Sport Utility Drive on US Forest Service roads in the Pisgah National Forest. With the Porsche Macan now being the highest-selling vehicle in the Porsche line-up it was decided to try an off-road drive to appeal to this segment of the club.
