Join us for our monthly coffee gathering at Market of Choice, 29th and Willamette in Eugene. At the front of the store, drive north, past Pegasus Pizza and Office Max, to the lot in the back. There’s plenty of safe parking, surrounded by your fellow PCA members. Coffee, breakfast treats and restrooms in Market of Choice. If the weather is foul, look for us at the tables at the top of the stairs in the store. We meet rain or shine.

NOTE: We will not meet in January, as the first Saturday is New Year’s Day.

Our spring Tech Session will be at Aaron’s Autowerks and will feature David Haydukiwecz who will discuss coatings (paint) and related subjects.  David has been in the coatings business for many, many years and this seems to be a good opportunity to get all your questions answered on a topic we haven’t examined before.

Join us for our inaugural Drive! of the season to lovely Dallas (Oregon, not Texas!). This is a repeat running of our most popular drive of 2021. We meet at Lowe’s on West 11th in Eugene at 9 AM. After signing insurance waivers and a brief drivers’ briefing, we’ll roll at about 9:30, taking interesting two-lanes to Philomath, then Kings Valley Highway into Dallas. Lunch will be at the Washington Street Bar and Grill. RSVPs are essential so our host restaurant can plan for our group. RSVP to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org

Join us for a BBQ at Sue and Steve Messer’s home at 12 Noon, right after our First Saturday Coffee Stop. An organized drive from Coffee isn’t feasible because of the city streets and stop lights we’ll encounter. But there are several interesting ways to reach their home, ready for you to explore. Just bring yourself and your favorite beverage and prepare to enjoy good food and good company. RSVPs by April 30 are absolutely essential.

Come and learn about the latest approaches to protecting the paint on your favorite investment… your Porsche!

Xpel, a leading supplier of Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coatings, has partnered with Porsche to provide solutions for its customers. Body Guard Paint Protection is a factory certified installer of Xpel materials. You’ll learn about preparation, available Xpel templates, custom installations and more. Bring your questions! RSVPs are essential so that we can arrange coffee and morning snacks for attendees.

We are planning a drive on May 21 from Eugene to Reedsport, for lunch at the Harbor Light Restaurant. To be honest, I haven’t finalized the entire route yet. But I wanted to get this notice out now so that you can make plans.

The UPDATED plan at this point is to gather at Lowe’s on W11th in Eugene at 9:00, with a 9:30 departure time. With a short rest stop on the way, that should get us into Reedsport a bit before 11:30 for a slightly early lunch. The Harbor Light Restaurant indicated that it will easier for them to accommodate a group if we don’t arrive right at 12:00. Depending on how many of us there are, there could be a delay in getting seated.

This will be a bit longer drive than many. Due to the length of the drive, you should expect to get back to Eugene no earlier than 3:30, maybe a bit later.

For our Central Coast members, feel free to meet us in Reedsport for lunch and a bit of a meet and greet!

RSVPs are required for lunch, as I need to give the eatery some advance warning. Click this link to RSVP, and note whether you will be driving from Eugene or just meeting in Reedsport for lunch.

See you then!
