Welcome to the website for the Western Reserve Region of the Cadillac LaSalle Club, which is based in northeast Ohio.
We enjoyed another wonderful deckfast at the beginning of June, thanks to the hospitality of Linda and Al Wedler. To see photos from that event, click

Last month we held our Poker Run on a beautiful Sunday. Seventeen cars set off from Solon for a fun day of enjoying places that the Government (your tax dollars) has established in the Cuyahoga Valley. We visited Viaduct Park in the Bedford Reservation, the Canal Road Visitor Center in Valley View and the Ohio and Erie Reservation in Cuyahoga Heights. The tour ended at the Embassy Grille in The Embassy Suites in Independence, our thanks to the staff for treating us Royally!
The winner of the Poker Pot was Ashley Eckelmeyer, Granddaughter of Judy and Don Brehm (AACA). Since last years winner was also a Grandchild, I suggest next year you bring the young ones and help increase your odds.
We would also want to thank the members of WRRCLC, AACA, CCCA, Model T and Matia Club for joing us on our Tour and bringing joy to whomever the Caravan passed. Our tour received lots of waves and smiles! To see those photos, click

Today, more than 170 years later, and after a two restoration, the Tavern and Inn has become an Ohio landmark. With its seven dining rooms and five guestrooms, the Tavern offers gourmet dining and deluxe overnight accommodation. We will be having lunch at this setting at 12:30 P.M. on Saturday June 27th.
