The club was organized in September 1919, and has an official charter date of Jan 1, 1920. Our usual meeting place is the Salem Convention Center, in the heart of downtown Salem, at Noon on Wednesdays. Occasional off-site meetings are held, usually at the Willamette Heritage Center (about 5 minutes away). With almost 200 members, the club is friendly and active. Numerous committees give members ample and diverse opportunities to pursue avenues of service, locally and internationally.
This year's events include Triathlon, Duathlon, 5k/10k Runs, Half Marathon, and Kid's Run. Plus, of course, the party in Riverfront Park afterwards!
Join us for lunch on Wednesdays at 12:00 pm at the Salem Convention Center: 200 Commercial St. SE Salem, OR 97301 (there is free parking below the building).
