How to Join AROO or Contact the Club

Updated

The Alfa Romeo Owners of Oregon (AROO) is an Oregon-based club for Alfa Romeo enthusiasts, and the site points to two main paths: joining the national Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC) through the "Join AROC" link in the site navigation, or simply showing up to a local AROO event or monthly meeting, which are open to members and non-members alike. For direct contact, the site says to reach the AROO Board of Directors by sending a message, though the excerpt cuts off before the full contact details are shown.

What AROO Is

AROO describes itself as a club "dedicated to enthusiasm for Alfa Romeo automobiles," focused on running a variety of activities for members. Its activities include:

  • A monthly in-person meeting
  • Tours on Oregon roads
  • Time Speed Distance (TSD) rallies
  • Tech sessions
  • Garage tours
  • A downloadable monthly newsletter, the AlfaBits

The site also links to a gallery, a rally section, a marketplace, and an events calendar.

Joining: AROC vs. AROO

The navigation includes a "Join AROC" link, which points to membership in the national Alfa Romeo Owners Club rather than a separate AROO-only signup. The excerpt does not spell out AROO's own dues or a standalone membership form, so if you want to become a formal member, the "Join AROC" page is the starting point the site provides.

You do not need to be a member to take part. The site states that "members as well as non-members are welcome to join us at our events," though events normally carry a small fee to cover expenses like refreshments and rental costs, and members typically pay less than non-members.

Attending a Monthly Meeting

The monthly meetings are the most regular way to connect with the club:

Contacting the Club

The site's "How To Contact Us" section repeats the meeting details above and then directs readers who need to reach someone on the AROO Board of Directors to send a message. The excerpt ends mid-sentence at that point, so the specific email address or contact form is not captured here — check the contact section of the live site for the current address.

Upcoming Events to Join

The calendar lists several ways to meet the club in person:

  • Sept 19, 2026 (Sat) – Piacentini / Daemke Shop Tour, N Portland

The next event highlighted is the Alfa Farm Tour and Swap Meet on Saturday, September 19, 2026, 10:00–3:00. Cost is $15 per person, cash, to pay for lunch. RSVP is through a sign-up form (linked on the site), and the location — "The Alfa Farm" — is sent by email.

Practical Notes

  • Bring cash for events that include lunch, such as the Alfa Farm Tour.
  • RSVP where a sign-up form is provided; some locations are only shared by email after you register.
  • Check the calendar before traveling, since at least one listed date (the November workshop tour) is marked as subject to change.
