ASSISTED LIVING TOURS

In mid-September, the RRR joined the NJ Region AACA for annual visits to assisted living homes in Bridgewater.  These events are sponsored by the Somerset County Library System's Outreach Program.  Naturally, these events are weather-dependent and we had one wet day and one dry day.  But when you bring cars to these appreciative residents, every day is a good one!

Eastern Star Assisted Living - Bridgewater, NJ - by Pat Caruso
 

The phrase "Go West, Young Man" is often attributed (incorrectly) to New York Tribune founder, Horace Greeley. (It is also the title of a Mae West movie - but that's a story for a different day).  With sunny skies on Saturday, September 19, the NJAACA and RRR-CLC heeded the call and came from north, south, east and west to visit - where else - but the New Jersey Eastern Star Home.  This was the second stop of the day, for our assisted living tour, and the region provided a display that didn't disappoint.   We had sixty years worth of American iron for all to see - and the British and Italians were represented, too!  While the residents and guests viewed our fifteen cars, we were treated to a delicious lunch, served in Eastern Star's elegant chapel.

Many thanks to Anne Marie LeMaire, Eastern Star's Director of Activities, and her staff, for the delicious lunch and warm hospitality.  We certainly look forward to a return visit next year.

Bob Allen, our coordinator from the Somerset County Library System's Outreach Program, made sure all the spectators received Peoples' Choice ballots to vote for their favorite.  Bob had his work cut out for him as selected residents were brought out to the show field to break a tie in the voting!  Don & Pauline Symonds came out on top with their beautiful 1941 Chevrolet coupe.  They received a gift certificate courtesy of the Somerset County Library.  Jim Edwards and Marge Graham received beautiful potted plant arrangements for 2nd & 3rd place, respectively, courtesy of Eastern Star.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to a wonderful day,
