We had a full house yesterday evening for our July Meeting & Cruise-in. Thank you Mother Nature for not raining on us!

We want to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the club.

Also, just as a reminder if you want to send a card or something to Katrina, please message us directly so that we can get you an address.

Club Meeting & Cruise-In for July

07/09/2026

🔥 Hot off the press! The July edition of The Downstream Times is now available! Our newsletter editor hit a HOME RUN with this issue!

This month's issue is packed with coverage from the 2026 POCI Convention, including photos, convention stories, chapter news, meeting minutes, upcoming events, and the first installment of Richie's Convention Chronicles – The Road to Pontiac.

📧 Chapter members, check your email or log in to view the newsletter online as one of your exclusive membership benefits.

Don't forget—we'll be gathering this Saturday, July 11, from 5:00–7:00 PM for our monthly Chapter Meeting & Cruise-In at Guess Who? Community Room. It's potluck, so bring a dish to share and, if the weather cooperates, bring your Pontiac or GMC too!

Before the meeting, we'd love to see a strong Arkansas River Chapter showing at the Cruising the Ozarks Helos, Wings & Wheels in Springdale Car Show at the Springdale Municipal Airport. Registration opens at 9:00 AM, and every entry helps support the Show-Drive-Give Scholarship Program, providing vocational education opportunities for the next generation of skilled trade professionals. Let's fill the airport with Pontiacs and show everyone what our chapter is all about! Registration is only $20, cash or card!

Going to the car show? Drop us a comment below to show us what you're bringing!

Today was a sad occasion as we laid to rest one of our club members. Somebody we considered to be family. Larry Allen passed peacefully at his home on June 30th. Today we honored the extraordinary life and legacy of Larry.

We are grateful for our club members and fellow sister chapter members from GO-POCI and Indian Nations Pontiac Club who also attended the funeral to pay their respect. We had one final drive with Larry to say goodbye before he was laid to rest.

Rest in peace, Larry. We love you and we will never forget you. You made an extraordinary impact on our lives and we want to say thank you for the friendship and love for your extended Pontiac family. 🙏

Respectfully,

Richie Lovan
President, Arkansas River Chapter

We want to wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we take a moment to honor and thank all those who have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. Patriotism runs deep in this country, and we are proud to call America home.

We hope you enjoy time with family, friends, and the traditions that make this holiday special.

Be safe this weekend, get that Pontiac or GMC out of the garage, crank up your favorite tunes, and hit the road. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Independence Day from the Arkansas River Chapter! 🇺🇸
