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.  We welcome and encourage participation of owners of ALL years and models of Volvo.  Joining VCOA has many benefits.  This local chapter does not charge any additional membership fees.  We welcome non-member guests to any of our events.   

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). You'll have access to useful discounts at various Volvo dealers and other related businesses. To join VCOA, you may any 'join VCOA' link or go to www.vcoa.org.

CHAPTER VOLUNTEERS ARE BEING SOUGHT
VCOA is a non-profit organization and all officers and directors are unpaid volunteers.  The SoCal Chapter is currently seeking members who would like to help make this a better chapter by volunteering a little time at some of our local meets… or if your more ambitious than most, consider volunteering to organize a local get-together in your area.   
SoCal is BIG. We currently need representation in: L.A., Orange County and San Diego.

As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can improve your VCOA chapter or this web site.

VOLVO CLUB RELATED EVENTS
Please check our CALENDAR OF EVENTS regularly.  We add Volvo Club events continually… club meets, shows, drives, dinners, etc.  Our calendar also includes many non-VCOA events that might interest you.  We welcome all Volvos, new ones, old 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.
