EUROPE EXPRESS TOUR:

INSURANCE:
Sunrise Travel strongly recommends travel insurance. Once you have decided to book your trip, I will go over insurance options. Travel insurance is an additional cost, but when traveling outside the USA, it is important to cover for things such as trip delay, bag delay or loss, emergency medical, emergency transportation while traveling. I will be able to help navigate you through different policy options.

ADDITIONAL FEES:
Please note: Sunrise Travel normally has an $80 per person service fee for international group bookings.  However, we did waive this fee for this group trip, because Joe Kuhl has booked with us before and we feel that Sunrise Travel is a good fit for your auto club to book with.

There are some items that could be additional charges to PCA members individually.  Some of these are listed below.  The Sunrise Travel fee starts at $80 per person for:
•• The booking of any mileage tickets for travelers, if they did not not want to book the group air
•• Pre or post add-ons and customized stays
•• Changes made to trip – such as coming home early
•• Other flights booked separately

President's Message

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!
