We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! In twenty years, we have only had to use the raindate twice - in 1995 and in 2002.  The weather was perfect for a car show, and by 7:30 the cars and trucks started rolling in for a show that was supposed to start at 10:00!  Wow.  By the end of the day, we had more than 382 cars and trucks on the show field!

Special thanks to JR and Joanne Rosenberger and Aspen Hill Shell who donated $2,114.55, Golden Gears who donated $1,000, to Pat Kelly who donated $2,000, to Sugarloaf Mountain AACA who donated $500, to Tom & Chris Crone who donated $500 in memory of Chris’s mom who recently passed away due to Alzheimers, to William Hipkins who donated $500 and to Kingsley Edwards who donated $250 and to Cheryl Gendron for her donation.

The Alzheimers Association Greater Maryland Chapter presented us with a very nice plaque of appreciation for all the club has done in raising much needed funds for their local needs.  Due to the money Heart of Maryland Classic Chevy Club members have raised, they are able to provide services that would otherwise need to be cut due to lack of funding.

The biggest shock came when Scott Morrison presented us with a sizeable donation from the estate of a gentleman who specified that his money be given to a charity which helped older people.  The $200,000 check will help the Alzheimers Association Greater Maryland Chapter help a lot of families affected by Alzheimers in our area. (yes, the number of zeros is correct - $200,000!).
