The holiday season is upon us. And to celebrate that most wonderful time of the year, the Philadelphia Regional Limousine Association (PRLA) held its annual membership meeting/holiday dinner at Maggiano’s (King of Prussia) on November 30. A packed house of more than 40 members and guests were in attendance, including Chauffeur Driven Editor Rob Smentek. Special thanks to longtime PRLA supporter Fred Beans Dealerships for sponsoring the event.

Kicking things off with a multi-course Italian meal, the meeting gave members new and old the opportunity to reconnect after several months. Following the dinner, PRLA President Johnny Donohoe of Sterling Limousine addressed the attendees, thanking them for coming and expressing enthusiasm at the number of new members. After introducing the PRLA Board, Chris Burns of Fred Beans spoke briefly, confirming his company’s commitment to the association—and industry—and sharing that the dealership currently has a sizeable inventory in stock, including the sought-after Chevy Suburban and Ford Navigator.

“It’s wonderful to see a full house this evening,” said PRLA Secretary Tracy Salinger of Unique Limousine, before providing a short refresher on the insurance requirements for farm-out work in the Philadelphia region. Salinger, who also serves on CD’s Advisory Board, gave a recap on the recently held CD/NLA Show in National Harbor. She highlighted some of the more popular educational sessions, and raved about the networking opportunities. Salinger encouraged those who were unable to attend to download the free show app in order to access the PowerPoint slides to get a taste of the education that was offered.

PRLA Treasurer Bob Euler of King Limousine next provided a financial report, and gave an update on the new waiting zones at the Philadelphia International Airport.
As the new year approaches, Donohoe disclosed plans for the PRLA to be more structured in 2023, with quarterly in-person meetings and a What’s App for the membership that will allow the group to quickly find vetted affiliates.
