Show Benefiting Victims of Newtown Shooting

There is one being planned through a local Honda forum. Meeting in New Britain, then cruising down to New Haven. It's at Treadwell park. News 12 should be covering it.

 

If I can provide any information to help you with this feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I organized the Ferrari & Friends event. There are a lot of hoops to jump through when organizing a large show!

I can't attend as I will be out of the state. Was going to bring my track Civic out.

 

There are a few events that are going to be happening. 2 i know of through Facebook. One is April 16th with literally hundred attending and there is one coming up soon somewhere in CT to benefit.

 

Just want to give everyone a heads up if your "planning" something, the people and town affected by the shooting has asked that no events be held within Newtown. Families are asking this because they do not want any further media attention, interviews etc. and they also fear that whats left after any "events" the town will be left to clean up after. They ask that donations, cards, and snowflakes be sent through the mail to them, and that the town be left alone for the time being so they can mourn in peace.

This is a very abridged version of a message sent out to a local group near me which had plans of caravaning 100's of cars down to Newtown CT for a car show.

 

Oh, I can tell you now or the immediate future is not a good time for a car show or any events.
I've been in Sandy Hook 3 times since the day. I was there yesterday to make the walk to the firehouse where the school is. 20 Christmas tree for each....tens of thousands of flowers teddy bears, candles etc.
It is not a town for anything.... except mourning. You can not drive through there without tears. Each time I went I would a funeral procession.....heartbreak seeing a short casket.

 

There is an Event on the 30th of December and the 14th of April, Both of them are nearly 1000 cars in and are way to big to be anywhere near Newtown so we will be far outside and donating the money.
