Maintaining Momentum
Summer may not officially be here, but it sure feels like it! The sun has been shining several days in row, shiny cars are everywhere, Cabrios and Targas are running top down, and the ORPCA calendar is bursting at the seams with drives and summer driving adventures. As we approach the second half of the year, it is hard to believe how many events we have planned and executed so far, but the upcoming summer and fall promise even more. Our premiere events of Northwest Passage and Scenic Oregon are up soon and no doubt they will bring spectacular driving. The Pride Drive is new on our calendar but already is receiving enthusiasm. The annual summer picnic this year will highlight our 65th Anniversary celebrations. Tickets for that event will go on sale sometime in June with the event set for Sunday, August 17th. Watch your weekly email for updates. It feels early to be thinking about fall and winter, but there may be some surprise events. I won’t dangle too much, but new venues and adventures are in the works. Our ongoing events continue to fill up and that makes me both happy and anxious. Like other long-time members, I remember the days of simply showing up for a drive without checking the website two months in advance for opening dates and registration times. Life in general has changed and keeping an eye on our social feeds and personal interest groups is very electronic and woven into our daily on-line existence. The Club’s web and social media team are critical to the running of this organization. Our website, Instagram feed, and weekly emails are vital communication tools for the club. I am thankful every day for the people behind the scenes that bring our drives, dinners, tours, and logistics to life in the virtual world. We’re only halfway through the year, but those people working in the web, social media, internet, and email realm have already crafted much of the behind-the-scenes material for the remainder of the year and the events still in planning. Thank you, Jeannine, Heinz, Julie, David, Carlos, and all members who tag us, post about us, and share pictures and stories online. Thank you all for keeping this party rolling!
