How I became a member was on purchase of car at Porsche dealer. The membership was complimentary, laughing after they charge you extra for anything that says Porsche. Is it worth it thats really up to the individual member. There is endless list of activities, trips, treks, lunches dinners, get the idea. Is up to you to which you want to go. The magazine sent to you has also names of people & shops offering services for the Porsches. Overall is a good thing to belong.
