Spotted this past week on msn news - a slide show of some of this year's cars/rods in the 2013 Pacific Northwest Nationals car show. Dubbed "Hot Rod Heaven". See what you think!

I enjoyed looking through them, I bet you will, too!

Labor Day Debbie & Joe's Rods Run - Reservations close 26th August.

We know you've waited all year for this. DON'T FORGET to register. Reservations close 26th August. Guaranteed fun for all. 120 mile run through some wonderful areas in Southern Oregon. Thanks to Debbie & Joe for this event!

Modifications and Updates to Our Website. Also help needed.

Well, I finally got a chance to tidy up some of our website, and it's the closest to 'finished', that I know of, so I'm well pleased.

You'll notice the navigation tabs at the top - there are now drop-down sub-menus on the last 3 tabs, allowing better navigation of these areas. I'm not able to 'tidy' up the navigation in the private Members' area, but it works, at least.

I've filled in the board members, and a few other things that were lacking. 

It would be great if more members could interact with our website. It's built to do just that. By requesting by email to become an author for the blog, you can upload photos, so others can see them here on this blog, showing off to the car community that reads our blog, our activities. It doesn't mean that you have to write a novel or anything. Just add a photo with a caption if you like, but you can write about your adventure if you wish, too.

WHAT'S NEW: In the members' area (password protected) there is a new slideshow of images, that can be added to by members. This is a more private way of sharing your photos. It is handled through Picasa (Google) so you will need to join, but it's very private if you join just for this purpose (uploading photos). The slideshow can also be viewed as an album/gallery IN THE MEMBERS' AREA. If you've forgotten the password and login for the members' area, click on the link to request it. GO TAKE A LOOK! :)

We are working on updating our "In Memorium" page - and we need your help. Can you please email any information and/or photos that you might have for any of our members that have passed. We will be doing a short informational piece on each, and would love a photo of them and if possible their vehicle. That would go a long way to helping us achieve this task. Thank you.

Remember when?

Remember this, remember that? Some do, some don't.

Photos have been added to the photo albums on our website from past years. Hope you enjoy looking back on things you may or may not remember and things you did or didn't see, maybe.

Please feel free to comment on any photos. The comments are moderated, so won't show up until checked out.

Hope you enjoy these 'new' photos to help boost your remembering power. Most are courtesy John Murphy, through his eyes. 

Remember to send in your latest photos, too!

Going on a road trip in Oregon?

Going on a road trip? This is one place that might be interesting to look into.

"Looking for a great location to stop during or after your road trip or scenic drive? FivePine Lodge & Conference Center, located in Sisters, Oregon, and being a AAA Four Diamond award winning property, offers ample parking, quaint and cozy lodging, refreshing libations at Three Creeks Brewery or a private catered gathering.  After driving for hours, relax and rejuvenate at our world-class Shibui Spa or get refreshed in our heated swimming pool. Website: www.fivepinelodge.com"

NOTE: Not trying to advertise or publicize in any way. The club got an email, and this looks kind of 'interesting', so thought you might like to check it out, and if good, then it's worth sharing, right?

Website update notification.

Hi all,
Hopefully all our members check out our website, and blog. Not much updating done of late, but today there has been a heap of things done. Check them out. 

Not only has our main website image changed, with entry form and news of the 2014 show been put up, but many events have been added to the calendar - remember ... you can set up to receive reminders to events. And I'm a good one to talk about this. The last meeting I went to I remembered to set a reminder, and attended accordingly. Last meeting (May) I missed, and I blame it on not doing a reminder. :)

Anyway - the member area (links tab) has been updated with newsletters. And hope to do some more this afternoon. I'm looking at a potential different way of doing the photo albums, if I have time. So there are some areas for you to check out. All the best to all. Enjoy your drive time!
