Welcome to the Southern California Chapter of VCOA
This is SoCal VCOA, or "SCVCOA" for short. Founded in 1999, we are an official chapter of the Volvo Club of America.
MEMBERSHIP IN VCOA
The Volvo Club of America is a national organization of Volvo owners and enthusiasts. The SoCal Chapter of VCOA does not charge any local membership fees. This means participating with SCVCOA is FREE, and you're welcome whether you're a VCOA member or not.
But basically, if you love Volvos as we do, and you're not yet a VCOA member, we can't think of a better time than right now to join. It's an excellent value. As a member of VCOA you will receive a subscription to our national club magazine, Rolling (which is considered to be one of the finest car club publications on the planet) and useful discounts at various Volvo dealers and other related businesses. To join VCOA you may click here to find a secure online membership form which pay be printed out or paid on-line or you may send us your home address and we'll be happy to mail you an application.
VOLVO CLUB RELATED EVENTS
Please check our CALENDAR OF EVENTS regularly. We add Volvo Club events continually… club meets, shows, drives, dinners, etc. We welcome all old Volvos, new ones, pretty ones, ugly ones… works of art or works in progress… it doesn't matter. Everyone is welcome to bring their Volvos. Come out and join us in the fun.
CHAPTER DINNER MEETS
We get together for an informal dinner about once a month (not every month) in different spots all over SoCal. Any and all Volvo enthusiasts are invited (member or not). You will have a chance to meet other Volvo owners and talk about Volvos, future events (or whatever). SoCal is a big area and we are always open to suggestions for restaurants in any area. Very general guidelines on submitting a restaurant: Parking is a good thing. Historically we get around 5 to 8 people attending these. Usually on a Sunday evening. We welcome new places to meet. If you know of a good place in your area, please email Dave Barton.
