I’m excited to announce an AI innovation on the HCR website! Thanks to the brilliance of our Webmaster, EDWARD DOAN, we now have our very own custom AI chatbot – TOM TARGA. Designed to enhance the membership experience and make club resources more accessible, TOM serves as a 24/7 digital HCR concierge on our website, www.hcrpca.org. In real time, TOM can help members find quick details on just about everything HCR, such as:
-
- Upcoming driving events (e.g., “When is the next Autocross?”)
- Social gatherings (e.g., “How do I register for the Holiday Party?”)
- Club Bylaws, Policies, etc. (e.g., “Where can I find a copy of the HCR Bylaws?”)
- Other club resources (e.g., “Who are the current HCR officers?”)
And even better news, he works for free, just like the rest of us volunteers!
So, head over to the HCR website and say “Howdy” to TOM TARGA today! You will find this handsome guy 
hanging out at the bottom left-hand corner of the HCR website www.hcrpca.org.
