Registration is now closed. 

We’ll be north of the river in Vancouver for our March Dinner Gathering on Wednesday, March 20 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Billy Blues Bar & Grill.

Billy Blues is not just a bar, a grill or even a building. Billy Blues is two young men’s vision where friends, family and the common stranger could gather for great food, cutting edge drinks, and good times!

Hosted by Dr. Roy Johnson, Billy Blues is located at 7115 NE Hazel Dell Ave, Vancouver, WA 98665. We have room for 45 attendees. There’s plenty of free parking onsite. We will order off a special  menu and pay at the restaurant the night of the event.

Parking and directions tip from our host Dr. Roy Johnson: Most efficient access from I-5 is Interstate 5, Exit 4, West on NE 78th, South on NE Hazel Dell Ave., Left into parking lot.

Registration opens Thursday, February 29 at 7 pm and closes March 16 at 7 pm.

Maintaining Momentum

Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
