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.“

Drive! Lunch in Reedsport (Central Chapter) @ Harbor Light Restaurant
May 21 @ 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

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!
