The Columbia River Region VCCA membership meets monthly, on the First Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Peace Lutheran Church, 2201 N. Rosa Parks Way, Portland, Oregon (between N. Denver Ave and N. Greeley Ave). 

At the membership meeting, members discuss club issues, upcoming tours, and the status of club projects. In addition to reports by the club officers and committees, we share leads on parts and cars, and have a monthly member drawing.

The Board of Directors generally meets using Zoom the following Monday at 6:00 PM.

Communication among club members is through the monthly Royal Mail newsletter and our website.

Club Activities

Club members organize monthly tours, visiting interesting places such as car collections, museums, vineyards, and parks. There are occasionally overnight trips, but generally tours are for a late morning and afternoon, with stops for a group lunch. Some members caravan with their old Chevrolets and GMCs and others drive their daily drivers, especially during inclement weather. See a gallery of recent tours & events.

Club members are also active participants in putting on the Portland Swap Meet each April.  Club members participate on the Portland Swap Meet committee, and provide personnel to run the meet (see description of Portland Swap Meet).
