Another year, another really-really great Woodies On the Wharf weekend.  Santa Cruz Woodie club members worked hard all year to make it an extra special WOW!  The Wrap Up Party is our club’s traditional way of celebrating that success, to thank all who worked so hard to make it so, and to start planning for next year.  This year is …

It’s always a great day when woodies come to the Santa Cruz Wharf!  It’s an extra special day when woodies come en mass as they did for the 22nd Annual Woodies on the Wharf (WOW).  When that day dawned bright and sunny as it did for the 2016 event then it’s one of those double your pleasure, double your fun, …

We always look forward to the Spring Cruise. Held on National Drive Your Woodie Day, it is our club’s first big cruise of the season. A chance to polish up the woodie, mount the surfboards and head out for a day in the California sunshine. Well, this year it played out a little differently. It was all about checking to …

Woodies were fairly well represented at the 6th annual San Jose Country Club Concours d’Elegance that benefited Make-a-Wish Greater Bay Area.  On a beautiful but sometimes overcast and windy day my wife JoAnn and I joined SCWC President Arlene Solis and husband Joe (SCWC Events Chairman) for a wonderful time spent among some really nice cars and even nicer people. …

The curse has been lifted! Don’t know who kissed the frog, but it worked! The rains that have plagued Doheny in the past did not even come close this year.  It was just the opposite. Those who came dressed for a cool beach day were losing layers early on as the temperature rose to the 70’s.  Sunny was the word of the …

For years we had talked about visiting Filoli Garden in Woodside during the spring bloom season.  This year we decided to put that talk into action! It was a small but mighty bunch who set out on a Saturday in March to visit the gardens and do a Santa Cruz Woodie version of “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”.  After meeting in the …

For 23 years the members of the Santa Cruz Woodies Club have gathered together to welcome the new year and to install the officers that would lead the club for the coming year. This year the weather outside was cold and rainy, but there was nothing but warm hugs and glad tidings inside the hall as members gathered to again …

Another Santa Cruz Holiday Parade under our belts and what a wonderful day it was. Last year, due to the inclement weather, few Woodies and even fewer people braved the rain to celebrate the start of the Christmas season. What a difference a year makes! While those of us who live in California are still praying to the weather Gods …

What an incredible weekend! Other than some dicey weather on Sunday we had perfect fall Woodie weather. Not too hot and not to cold. We started the weekend by meeting our Wagon master Joe Cosgrave and his wife Janice down in Morgan Hill for the first stop on the drive down to Cambria. Along with yours truly and my wife …

Santa Cruz Woodies Club (SCWC) recently spent the weekend in Pleasanton, Ca at the Good Guys West Coast Nationals. We started off with a welcome party hosted by SCWC Past-President Toni Wilkerson at her home on Thursday evening. Friday morning we were all up early and arrived at the Alameda Fairgrounds to secure our favorite spots in “The Grove”, a nicely …
