Hello GGR Members, 

Hope your 2025 is off to a great start! The car and coffee series returned in January. Despite the cold weather, the turnout was nothing short of spectacular with over 150 cars. It was awesome to see old and new members come together for a quick chat and a warm cup of Hong Kong-style coffee from Cafe Kazka. Check out some great shots by our member George Komoto, and visit the IG @pcaggr for more spotlights from our local photographers and videographers. Special thanks to the Kazka team for managing twice the expected turnout, and to all of our members for packing their patience and supporting a local family-owned business. Shoutout to our sponsors Porsche Redwood City for donating posters and balloons, and setting up the Little Porsche Library for members’ enjoyment.

Recently a member suggested organizing later car and coffee events to facilitate more leisurely mixing and mingling. And we listened! I am excited to invite you to our inaugural Cars and Coffee Social, held at Auto Vino on February 23rd, Sunday, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Come and go as you please – stop by early for a cup of freshly brewed coffee or drop by a bit later for a delicious fresh lunch from Auto Vino’s outdoor pizza kitchen.
