Jack Staggs Annual 356th day of the year party December 21, 2019

[Trevor Gates]

Jack Staggs hosts his annual 356th Day of the Year Party in San Clemente. Bring your favorite beverage, chip/dip or dessert, but most of all, bring yourself.

This is a free event, no registration required, open to anyone that’s even remotely interested in 356.

When? Saturday December 21, 2019 - Rain date tbd… this is SoCal.

Where? 1321 Calle Valle Unit N, San Clemente, CA 92672

Time? 10:00 a.m. to 5 or until the last folks leave. Lunch will be served at 12, to give everyone a chance to eat (not just the early birds).

How? Drive your 356 (beater, daily driver, rusted out, Concours, 4Cam, etc) and park it with as many as can fit on the property (lots of em). Or arrive in any manner possible. The important aspect of the party is that you get to this gathering.

Contact? Any questions at all, call Jack @ (949)492-9606 or, email Jack - ifix356@juno.com

Food and beverages are provided. However... contributions of either or both will be gratefully accepted and enjoyed by the many.

What is there to do? Eat BBQ, consume beverages, hang with a bunch of like minded Porsche nuts, look at lots of cool 356’s, marvel at and drool on Jack’s “356 stuff” and participate in a “Miniature Swap Meet*.”

*What’s a “Miniature Swap Meet?” Items for swap that you can carry in your 356. Bring out your extra parts and pieces to help other folks finish their projects! No truckloads please. If you’ve got a spare engine, transaxle, etc., print up the information, make it available to potential swappers. No speculators or sharks.

I got my flights and rental car booked today, one long day in Orange County, pray for good weather.

This Saturday, see you all there.

Thanks to Jack, Trevor and all of the rest who helped put on a great party. This is the kind of activity that draws many 356ers together, a chance to share the cars, meet new friends and see "old" ones too. I found it interesting that I met 4 younger couples who had recently acquired 356s, two were passed down from their parents, one was found in a neighbors garage, and one was bought on the internet. They saw post on the Facebook page, and drove over to see what it was about, so the social media does work.
