Formed two summers ago after we put together a Galaxie Cruise-In in Camas, Washington. Thirty-eight Galaxie fanatics participated in the two day cruise-in from Vancouver Island British Columbia to central California and all points in between. Over 50 interested Galaxie owners signed onto the mailing list and to date we have close to 80 active members.
We have had a great spring and early summer out here in the Pacific Northwest. In April we cruised to Gary McKays Ford Muscle Car Collection in Tacoma, Washington. Wow! What a collection of Fords! Gary hosted about 30 members. A big thank you to Gary and to Tom Breske for setting it up for us.
Our 3rd Annual Galaxies NW Regional Show was June 6th, held in conjunction with the "All Ford Swap Meet & Car Show at the Hillsboro Oregon County Fair Grounds. We had the best turn out ever, 50 Galaxies from all over the Pacific Northwest. A couple came down from BC Canada, 1 drove over from Post Falls Idaho, several came in from the Seattle area and of course the Portland/Vancouver Metro area was well represented. We had some beautiful restored Galaxies and a lot of daily cruisers too. Doesn't have to be a "Show Car Trailer Queen" to bring out and have fun. That's what it's all about right?
Hope to see a bunch of Galaxies at the following shows:
July 8th, Suburban Ford Cruise-in, Portland. just off I-5 and the "All Ford Picnic"
August 13th at Champoeq State Park just south of Portland
Tacoma Elks Car Show July 16th,
All Ford Drags July 22nd Bremerton, Washinton just to name a few.

We're into our third year and growing strong. Our 3rd annual GalaxiesNW Regional Cruise-In / Car Show is scheduled for June 3rd in Hillsboro, OR in conjunction with the "All Ford Swap Meet and Car Show". (I already have 8 registrations as of 2/20/00).
We have over 80 paid members in our chapter, from So. Oregon to British Columbia and picking up more every week. It's amazing how many old "Gals" are out there.
Dues are $10. a year - be sure to send them directly to us with your application.
The Chapter doesn't have regularly scheduled meetings, we do plan cruise's to major car shows and Ford functions around the Northwest and have a meeting 2-3 times season at these functions. There are regional coordinators that promote Galaxie get togethers with in their areas, i.e. Seattle, Portland, So Oregon and Eastern OR/WA.
A Galaxies NW newsletter is published quarterly and features chapter members Galaxies in each issue. It has a buy/sell/trade section and has other information of interest to NW members as well as major cruise-in info.
