Established 42 years ago, the Southern Oregon Corvette Association (SOCA) has grown from eight cars in 1974 to a high of 120 cars in the late 1980s, to its current membership of about 70. Sponsored by Jim Sigel Automotive of Grants Pass, Or., SOCA business meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month and guests are welcome. Monthly Socials are generally held on the third Saturday of each month at various eating establishments in the Rogue Valley. During the summer dinner is usually preceded by a cruise or other activity. "The SOCA started off as a social club", says charter member Don Hubbard. "We’d see a Corvette downtown and we’d follow them home to tell them we were starting up a Corvette club," he says. Hubbard, who attended that first meeting on June 12, 1974, has three times been elected SOCA President. "I’ve met some great people over the years and have had a lot of fun times," Hubbard says with a smile.
