    Chapter 9 - Oregon Trails Chapter 9

    (This page maintained by Joan Larson. Last modified: 5/30/13 at 7:10 PM Pacific time.)

    Chapter 9 is the oldest Chapter in Oregon and it's primary area of influence is the area from the Pacific coast on the west to the Idaho border on the east and Canyonville on the south to Salem on the north, centering on Douglas County.


    Chapter 9 was responsible for the founding of Timber Valley SKP Park of Oregon in Sutherlin, OR in 1989. Untold hours of sweat equity by many members of this chapter actually built the park, an amazing feat appreciated by all who live or visit there. Many of our Chapter 9 members claim Timber Valley as "home" but we are pleased and proud to have members from other areas as well.

    Chapter 9 sponsors a SKP get-together with breakfast held at 9 a.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at Abby's Legendary Pizza located at 1011 West Central Avenue in Sutherlin, Oregon. Travelers are always welcome. From I-5 take Exit 36 and head East for several blocks. Abby's will be on the left, across from Goodwill. All are invited.

    The first of our three rallies for the year was held on the beautiful Oregon Coast at Florence OR, May 16th to 20th at the Odd Fellows Campground. We enjoyed a great time highlighted by a delicious fresh salmon barbecue and events connected with the annual Florence Rhododendron Festival.

    Plans are made for our June rally, which will be held at Timber Valley SKP Park of Oregon, 800 S State Street in Sutherlin, OR. We are hoping for good participation by Residents of Timber Valley as well as visiting SKP's from all over. Call Rally Hosts Toby & Patt Anderson 541-580-1370 or Bud & Anita Covington 541-229-0491 for information.
