[DeTomaso] Extremely Important Vote for POCA

For what its worth:
Time goes by quickly, and it's hard to believe I've owned my Pantera and been a member of POCA for almost 9 years, including a couple as President of Panteras Northwest. In all that time I have never seen anything from the other presidents, board members, or anyone else in a POCA leadership position that hasn't been membership-focussed and done in the best interest of POCA.
Sure, people disagree on certain things ("are you really going to put chrome vent tubes on your engine cover? You must be crazy!"), but the reason people volunteer for positions in this organization is to benefit others who love Panteras and other DeTomaso creations, not for anything self-serving.
I trust the board and its decisions, and why wouldn't I? The people involved with POCA are some of the most generous, quality people I've ever met.
If anyone is worried about board decisions, he or she should simply volunteer to help! I assure you that after spending 5 minutes with POCA's leadership he or she will see how hard they work for all our benefit.
Sincerely,
Chris Kimball
Past President, PNW
