Personal note -- My son J.P., who is 14, has autism and has attended SHLI for
the past 9 years. The school has made an incredible difference in our lives as
well as for the families of his fellow students. My 16 year-old daughter Samantha (with help from my wife and me) is organizing this event as her school service project. We would love to see as many of you as possible in the NJ area come out for this first time event.

Also Maserati of North America has signed on as a sponsor and will be providing some great items for the goody bags.

Also, please note -- we have decided to limit the event to 50 cars or less so please register as soon as you can. Our thought is that, given that this is a first time event, and that my 16 year old daughter is organizing, we don't want it to get too unwieldy. We want people to have a good experience -- quality over quantity I guess.

50 bucks but it's for a good cause. I'll check my sched to see if I can get there.:nod:

Some of the latest registrants:
