Welcome Everyone to 2026!

​

First off, I want to thank Bryan Fakler for his leadership and hard work for the club the last couple of years. I also want to thank all the other outgoing board members for all their hard work and welcome the new board members coming in for this year. I also want to thank all of the membership for their support and help last year.

​

2025 was a great year for the CRCC. We held 2 great car shows, did some great drives through the beautiful Pacific Northwest as well as just getting together and trying some new events. This coming year looks to be another great one as well with our Horsepower on the Green Car Show as well as other great activities in the works, so stay tuned as more info gets posted on the website and our social media accounts throughout the year.

​

Columbia River Camaro Club was started back in 1982 and remains a non-profit organization to this day. We do our main fundraising through hosting car shows. We are happy to be hosting “Horsepower on the Green” again this year. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website for more details as the events get closer. These fundraising events help the CRCC to be able to donate to the local community.

​

We are a proud member of the Multnomah Hot Rod Council. We will once again be having a club presence in the 70th annual Portland Roadster show with a handful of members' cars in the show. We help the MHRC with their annual toy drive to donate toys to Randal’s Children’s Hospital in Portland. This last Holiday Season the CRCC raised over $1500 for the toy run and thanks to the deals of the Canby Fred Meyer we were able to almost double that in the value of the toys we purchased to donate to Randal’s Children's Hospital.

The CRCC is so much more than just Car Shows. Throughout the year, we host a variety of different events ranging from game nights, mini golf events, and beautiful tours around the many amazing sights the Pacific NW has to offer. We are at the core a social club and getting people together for these events is what we are about. Although we are brought together by our Camaro’s, it is merely the ice breaker for meeting and getting to know new people and creating some great friendships. As I have personally been with the club over 14 years now, I can testify that this is a great group of people and I have made a lot of great friends over the years in the club, so stop by a meeting or event and check us out!

​

We meet the first Tuesday of every month at the Elmer's off I205 on Sandy Boulevard and there is no minimum attendance required. We like to think we are a laid back, no pressure group. If you have any questions, please contact us through the website or our Facebook page. I try to respond right away but it may take a day or two to get back. As always, I look forward to meeting new people and their Camaro’s!

​

Sincerely,

Dalton Carter

CRCC President 2026
