Fifth Annual All Air Cooled Gather, September 20, 2009, Flanders, New Jersey Options

[dcheek]

it's that time of the year again!

The Central Jersey VW Society is having its fifth annual "All Air Cooled Gathering" in Flanders NJ on Sunday September 20th. As in the the past I'm inviting all 914 owners to show their pride and joy. Last year we had 215 cars (mostly VW's with the exception of a few 914's and 911's). The venue is really unique in that its held at a private German Social Club with a beautiful full grass soccer field (actually several fields) along with German food and beer on tap. Yes, I did say beer is being served at the "club house" bar. This is a charity event where a portion of the proceeds will help Operation Jersey Cares, an organization that provides support and care for current and past NJ Combat Veterans. There will also be some parts vendors (mostly VW) and prizes being raffled to raise money along with a live band for entertainment. Also this year "Dyno Don" from California will MC the event. For those that don't know, he is California's popular VW personality. Also, we just got word that the magazine "Hot VW's", also from California, is flying out to cover the event.

The award this year will be a limited edition signed and numbered poster that is being printed specifically for this event. No "Bowling Trophies" here.
We decided to do something unique to reward all the class winners. We are going 3 deep in each class. Since the Air Cooled Porsche turnout has been light in the past, we usually group all Porsches into one class. Yes, I know, it's not fair to put 356's with 911's with 914's but, we reserve the right to alter the classes depending on the total number of cars per class. Hey, want a separate class for 914's ? Then give me a reason - show up in big numbers!

Now before you get your Q-tips all fired up, I want to stress that this is real low key event with a very unstructured judging protocol (I'm the Porsche judge). We want this event to be fun for the whole family and consider it perfect for those who are looking for a nice day out, German beer and food and to help out with a good cause.
