June 6th, Euroshow, 2015

Our June 6th, first ever, Morristown European Car Show was a huge success. Thanks to the officers and members of the club for organizing and promoting the show, we had 69 entries representing many makes and models and great attendance. Special thanks to the sponsors and those contributing items for the silent auction. Sponsors for the show included:

Cumberland Glass, Framing by Carol, Bill Parker Carpet Service, Sonny’s Auto & Truck Repair, WERK & WMTN Radio Stations, Trade Center/Sonic Emporium, Roger Yount Body Shop, Pizza Cottage, McDonald’s Restaurant, K & J Auto Sales, Waste Industrials, and Lowland Credit Union.

As a result of these efforts, we were able to raise over $1,700 for the Daily Bread.

Pics of the show can be viewed HERE.

A quick note and some pics regarding the club charity contributions;
