Welcome, 2025!
Another year has passed, and we welcome 2025. Thanks to our members for re-electing our previous board to serve for two more years. This year will be more exciting than last year. We are adding new volunteers to join our board, we will have exciting drives and joint events with other regions. We will open up another monthly Cars & Coffee on the coast.
We are looking forward to new volunteers to lead the drives. Our board members will strive hard to make 2025 better than our previous years. So hold tight and let the fun begin.
Special mention—we will miss the smile of my lovely wife Jackie on our drives, car events and Cars & Coffee that she supported.
Thank you, and Enjoy the Ride!

Join us at 10 AM at the new Winco Foods (formerly Shopko) on Chad Drive in Eugene for a short, but entertaining Drive! to Thompson’s Mills on the beautiful Calapooia river in Shedd, Oregon. Thompson’s Mills is a unique survivor of times past; the last water-powered mill in the state that still runs the milling machines for demonstrations today. Bring a picnic (we’re scouting locations to pick up lunch near the mill), take a tour, and just chill in this great spot. Don’t forget your State Parks pass, if you have one!
Join Cascade Southern Chapter members for coffee and social time, on the 4th Saturday of each month!
Our First Saturday Coffee Stop moves to Florence for August! Gather in the public parking lot at First and Nopal Streets. Old Town Coffee Roasters is a yellow building across Nopal and down a small alley. They can also be found off of Bay Street, in the back. If you prefer tea, Lovejoy’s Restaurant and Tea Room is also just across Nopal. Restrooms in the Tea and Coffee houses and at Bay and Maple Streets. Join us! (especially those of you who live on the Coast!).
Join us on Saturday, August 13 for one of our prettiest twisty drives! If you haven’t driven Tyee Road before, it twists along the banks of the Umpqua river, from just south of Elkton to the little town of Umpqua, just east of Sutherlin. We’ll picnic (and taste wine, if you’d like) at Henry Estate Winery. For those who don’t want to pack a picnic, we’ll make a stop at the Lighthouse Center Bakery in Umpqua to pick up food. It’s a fantastic drive that is completely paved, even the short bit to the winery.
We meet at 9 AM at Lowe’s on West 11th in Eugene. Hope to see you there!

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.
