"Salute To Patriotism" Auto Show & Car Cruise

     Every year during the month of November, the United States pays tribute and dedicates a day to the most honorable individuals of all - MILITARY VETERANS - by observing Veterans Day. On Saturday, November 9 from 12-4 p.m., the Red Oak Diner & Lounge will help in small measure to honor the service and sacrifices made by veterans everywhere with an auto show & car cruise appropriately titled, "A Salute To Patriotism." The rain date is Sunday, November 10.
     All classes of vehicles including classic, antique, collector, custom, vintage, stock, luxury, import, exotic, hot rod, muscle, trucks, and military vehicles are encouraged to exhibit for this special event. All registration fees, which are $15 in advance and $20 onsite (check and exact amount), will be donated to the national non-profit HOMES for our TROOPS (HFOT), an organization that builds homes for combat-wounded and disabled military servicemen and servicewomen at no cost to the veteran. Many people in the area are familiar with the HFOT handicapped-accessible home built for Sergeant Michael Minard of Union Beach.
     Registration forms are available by visiting the Red Oak Diner in person or by accessing the website www.RedOakDiner.com or by contacting Lori Anne Oliwa by email at LoriAnne@TheWriteAngles.com. Forms should be sent in with a check made payble directly to HOMES for our TROOPS no later than November 5. Forms and checks should be sent to the Red Oak Diner & Lounge, "Salute To Patriotism," Attention Lori Anne Oliwa, 2973 Highway 35 North, Hazlet, N.J. 07730. Tax-deductible donations will also be accepted.  
    There is free public access to view the vehicles and to enjoy live music provided by DJ Terrence of 3 In 1 Entertainment. An outdoor barbecue will feature hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and assorted beverages for purchase.  
     Volunteers familiar with car shows and general event management are needed to assist with traffic direction, registration and judging. Those interested in volunteering should contact Lori Anne Oliwa at LoriAnne@TheWriteAngles.com.
