Message from the President Feb 2026
Where Did January Go?
January has come and gone. What happened, and where did it go? I cannot believe how fast time passes!
So, what’s the lesson? Make the most out of every day you can.
February marks the beginning of a busy year for the Pushrods of Hoquiam Car Club. Big changes are coming, and hopefully they’re all for the good!
Upcoming Charity Auction – February 15
Our annual charity auction is almost here, and everything seems to be going smoothly. Patty and her crew are getting everything done.
We still need items for the auction, though. Look around and see if you can find something of value that you’re willing to part with. Every contribution helps!
