Nov 1 -- Somerset Hills Drive For the Kids -- Fall Version

All,

Due to popular demand, my 16 year old daughter Samantha is organizing a charity drive very similar to the successful one that she did in early June this year. Like last time, we will be taking a leisurely drive through the back roads of the Somerset Hills area. Please note that pre-registration is required and we are limiting the drive to 60 cars given parking lot constraints, so first-come, first served. Here are the details:

Date: Sunday, Nov 1 (raindate -- Sunday Nov 15)

Location: Somerset Hills Learning Institute
1810 Burnt Mills Road
Bedminster, NJ

Time: 9:30 to 10:30 is check-in
10:30 -- drivers' meeting
10:45 -- Drive starts
1:00 -- Drive ends and lunch begins

Lunch: Starts at 1 pm
Will be at Somerset Hills Learning Institute

Cost: $100 per person (Note -- not per car)(includes lunch) -- a portion of which will be tax deductible

Charity: The beneficiary will be the Somerset Hills Learning Institute, a school for children with autism. My son is a student there, and the school has made an incredible positive impact on his life as well as that of our whole family.

How to Register: Go to www.somerset-hills.org. Click on "Drive for the Kids" on the left side of the page.

Who should come: The event is open to all sports, exotic and collector cars.

Gold Sponsors: The Stable.
New Vernon Coach and Motor Works.

Maserati of North America will once again provide items for the goody bags (lithographs, books).

How you can participate : Be a driver, a navigator, a sponsor, place an ad in our event program or provide goody bag items.

We would recommend that you bring a navigator if possible -- directions will not be complicated, and we will try to stay together, but it is not uncommon for people to get separated at some point and it is easier to read directions if you are not driving.

If you have questions, please feel free to send me a private message.

Regards,

Kirk

 

Thanks. Look forward to having you there. Bring a navigator -- that way you always have someone to blame if you get lost. Plus, you get to donate more to the school.

All,

We have a good list of cars entered so far for the event but would like to see more. I know many of us wait until the last minute to sign up -- I am typically guilty of that as well. It would be a great help for my daughter, for planning purposes, if you register sooner rather than later -- a little over two weeks to go now before the Drive. I look forward to seeing all of you there -- it is a great cause and will be a first class event, just like last time.

Regards,

Kirk

Frustrating forecast. Yesterday morning it said no rain today so I thought we made a bad decision. Now, I just looked and it is calling for 75% chance of rain until 1 pm, and it is raining now at my house.

Sorry you can't make it on the 15th.
