Happy New Year 2023! A new beginning with a new club board and adventure. As the new president, we will work to continue our growth…
Our board is here to serve the new and current members. We will be adding exciting drives to create comradery among members. We will also get our members more involved on leading drives. Plus, we are working hard to have a charity car show that we have missed, a couple of years now, due to Covid.
Central Chapter cars and coffee will be held in different locations to accommodate and meet other members from Corvallis and Albany. And, we will schedule a couple of Tech sessions to learn more about our cars and newer technologies.
Let’s make 2023, a good and an unforgettable year. As Porsche says, “There is No Substitute.“

Join Mike and Robin Vanderford for a last drive of the season on Saturday, October 12th. We’ll meander the autumn countryside through Jacksonville and the Applegate valley and on to Merlin where we will take a quick journey north on I5 to the old ghost town of Golden (we will take a short rest stop in Murphy, never fear!). Golden is interesting as a gold mining town known for having 2 churches and NO saloons. We will spend awhile there seeing the few remaining buildings and learning a bit about its history. Then we’ll back-track a short way to the Wolf Creek Inn for lunch.
Meet at Barnes and Noble in Medford at 9:00 am for a 9:30 am sharp departure. RSVP’s are needed for the lunch reservation. Email Robin at address provided in Eblast message.
Join us on our Drive to the Umpqua Valley on Saturday, October 12. We’ll meet at the Loews on W 11th in Eugene at 9:30 am and roll south promptly at 10:00 am. Our destination is Cooper Ridge Vineyards. There are no freeway segments on this drive! Some roads may be familiar, but they are all rural two lanes.
Cooper Ridge offers small plates for a light lunch for $15 or you are free to bring your own picnic. Rather than a formal wine tour, the drive will end at Cooper Ridge and participants can choose the wineries they’d like to visit. Click on this link for an excellent map of the wineries in the area.
Please RSVP for the Drive so that we can give an accurate count to Cooper Ridge.
We are fortunate to be able to visit the Eagle Point home of Gordon Joelson and his collection of cars which include Porsches and Ferraris. We will meet and drive to Gordon’s home by 2:00 PM, be regaled by Gordon, immerse ourselves in his collection, and then travel to Kaleidoscope Pizza for an afternoon and evening of Italian food and camaraderie. Please put this on your schedule. More details to follow.
SAVE THE DATE! Our annual Central Chapter dinner will take place at Steelhead Brewing Company in Eugene on January 18, 2020. We’ll have a private room, with choice of entree, salad and soft drinks included in the price. Craft beers and other adult libations will be available for individual purchase. Safe, secure, approved parking will be available in the corner of the Oregon Electric Station lot close to the Brewery.
Advance registration and payment will be required through MotorsportReg. For now, save the date and watch for a future email with cost and link to RSVP.
With more than 480,000 square feet of exhibit space you will find over 600 vehicles from 35 manufacturers, the latest in car design and technology plus exotics from around the world. PCA Cascade Region will have a booth featuring three member cars. Stop by and say hello!
