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.“

On Saturday, May 15th we will meet at 9:00 AM at Chevron station at the Murphy store, with departure at 9:30 to Crescent City via Highway 199, to lunch at Cristina’s Restaurant (Mexican) in Crescent City. Dining in is ok. A visit Jedediah Smith Redwood National Park, maybe the trees of Mystery, followed by a drive back along 199 home. The Smith River Canyon should be gorgeous. And who can say no to giant Redwoods?
Join us for a drive through spectacular twisties along the Umpqua River, ending at Henry Estate Winery. Bring a picnic lunch or pick up a snack / light lunch at the Lighthouse Bakery, just before the winery. If you’d like to taste wine, the cost is $5 for 5 tastes, with the fee waived if you buy a bottle. We will have two drive groups from which you can choose: Enthusiast and Touring. Overall pace will be similar, but the Enthusiast group will feel a bit quicker. RSVPs to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org are essential.
Remember: Safe driving is always paramount.
We’re returning to the original venue for our monthly coffee gathering, beginning on the 7th of August. Once you get to Market of Choice, drive north past Pegasus Pizza and Office Max to the parking lot in the back. There is plenty of safe parking available. Coffee, goodies and restrooms are available inside Market of Choice. We’ll likely gather at the tables right in front of the store.
Meet in Florence at the public parking lot at 1st and Nopal streets at 9:00 AM (coffee across the street at Old Town Coffee Roasters, restrooms just west of Mo’s), depart at 9:30 AM. North on Hwy 101 to Waldport, rest stop in a park near Waldport, then East on Hwy 34 and up to the top of Mary’s Peak, the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. Plan to either picnic at Mary’s Peak, or (health regs permitting) driving to Alsea or Philomath to a local eatery.
