"Salute To Patriotism" Auto Show & Car Cruise

     Every year during the month of November, the United States celebrates Veterans Day and pays tribute to the service and sacrifices made by the most honorable individuals of all - MILITARY VETERANS.  On Saturday, November 9 from 12-4 p.m., the Red Oak Diner & Lounge will help in small measure to honor veterans everywhere with an auto show & car cruise appropriately titled, "A Salute To Patriotism." The rain date is Sunday, November 10.
     The event, which is a benefit for national non-profit organization HOMES for our TROOPS (HFOT), is free and open to the public, who can view show vehicles and enjoy live musical entertainment by DJ Terrence of 3 In 1 Entertainment. An outdoor barbecue will feature hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages and assorted beverages for purchase.  
     Vehicle registration fees are $15 in advance or $20 onsite the day of the event (checks and exact amount only). All classes of vehicles including classic, antique, collector, custom, stock, luxury, import, vintage, exotic, hot rod, muscle, and trucks and even military transport, are encouraged to attend this special event. Checks should be made payable directly to HOMES for our TROOPS, which builds homes for combat-wounded and disabled military servicemen and servicewomen at no cost to the veteran. Tax-deductible contributions will also be accepted. Many people are familiar with the HFOT handicapped-accessible home built for local hero Sergeant Michael Minard of Union Beach.
     Registration forms are available in person at the Red Oak Diner & Lounge and by accessing the website www.RedOakDiner.com or by emailing Lori Anne Oliwa at LoriAnne@TheWriteAngles.com. Forms should be sent no later than November 5 to the Red Oak Diner & Lounge, "Salute To Patriotism," Attention Lori Anne Oliwa, 2973 Highway 35 North, Hazlet, N.J. 07730.
     Volunteers are needed who are familiar with car shows and general event management for assistance with traffic direction, registration and judging. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Lori Anne Oliwa at 732-337-8625 or by emailing LoriAnne@TheWriteAngles.com.
