A staple of our Holiday party has been collecting toys for donation to holiday toy collections. For the last couple of years, we have donated to the Toys for Tots program sponsored by the U.S. Marines. We have decided to go ahead with this effort, since more children than ever before are in even greater need during these very difficult times.
Therefore, on Saturday, December 5, from 3 pm to 5 pm, you may drop off unwrapped toys with the hosts at the front of the following two locations:

• Aji Tram, 4477 Lakeview Blvd, Lake Oswego, OR 97035, 503-342-6249
• The Lodge at Cascade Brewing, 7424 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, Portland, OR 97225, 503-296-0110

Due to the current restrictions on restaurants, our plans for joining friends at these 2 restaurants might be thwarted.  We would like to suggest that you considering supporting these restaurants by ordering take out ahead of time and and taking your food home after dropping off your toys. Currently the Aji Tram is open for take out by ordering online or calling.  Check out their web site here: Aji Tram.  Currently the Lodge at Cascade Brewing is not offering any take out options except at the Barrel House in downtown Portland. 
Phyllis and Ed Thiemann of Heckmann and Thiemann Motors will be our hosts at The Lodge at the Cascade Brewing. Bryan and Aimee Farley from Matrix Integrated will be our hosts at Aji Tram.  Also, Steve and Winnie Miller will divide up to welcome you at these 2 locations. This is truly a community effort.
Please come by and say hi!

Have someone take a picture of you dropping off your toys with the hosts and send to Peg at comminications@oregonpca.org and we will create an article for the February Anzeiger!  

We will continue to collect toys for the Toys for Tots Drive after December 5.   Please consider dropping toys off one of these 3 locations between Monday, December 7 and Monday, December 14 (not weekends):

• Heckmann and Thiemann Motors:  3220 SE 19th Ave, Portland, OR 97202   
• Matrix Integrated: West Side: 12930 NW Cornell Rd, Portland, OR 97229 or East side: 4000 SW Macadam Ave, Portland, OR 97239

Be sure to mention that you are an ORPCA member and you will receive a 60^th Anniversary glass (not dishwasher safe).

The ORPCA Northwest Passage Team is busy planning another fabulous driving tour for 2021. We have beautiful scenery and great destinations in store for next summer’s tour which takes us to the high desert region of central and eastern Oregon. The tour officially starts on Thursday, June 17 and continues through Sunday, June 20, 2021.  We will be offering an optional Sunday night for those who wish to enjoy the resort a little longer.
This year’s tour will be limited to 35 cars to help ensure the safety of all participants.
An email will be sent to everyone who gets this email blast at 8:00am on Tuesday, December 8. Here is a link to the web page where you will register: 2021 NW Passage Web Page

The Stoller 2016 Porsche Club Pinot Noir is still available. This would make a lovely gift for the holidays.  The first production Porsche was the 356, so it is appropriately featured on the first edition private wine label of OR PCA. This wine is available online at: Porsche Club Pinot Noir

The Treffen Spring 2021 will be held in Scottsdale Arizona at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort and Spa. Registration will open on January 20. Keep an eye on this space as we get closer to when you can sign up.  Might be fun to get some ORPCA groups driving down together!

The States of Oregon and Washington have started to open up again. But the pandemic is not over. We have held some club activities like Dinners, Arrive and Drives, SUV Drives and Autocross. We will follow state, government and PCA guidelines to keep activities as safe as possible. We will require the use of face masks/face coverings as mandated or recommended by PCA, CDC and state guidelines. PCA also requires the sign-off on a Communicable Disease Release for attendance at any club events.  As you know, there is no “zero risk” when dealing with COVID-19. 

Here is a document with Oregon PCA guidance as of updated on November 17, 2020 with information on the Oregon state-wide ‘Freeze’ and new Washington state restrictions. 

If you have any questions please contact Peg Ryan.
