COMING UP
November 18, 2020 - Regular Monthly Meeting CANCELLED due to firehouse renovations. Since the club doesn't meet in December, we look forward to meeting again on January 20, 2021.
A TIME FOR GIVING
For over 30 years, a very special tradition has taken place: the annual Christmas Holiday Party for students at the Matheny School in Peapack, NJ. The Matheny School is a private school for children and young adults with disabilities. The party is held before Christmas at the school, with racers, media members and fans of our sport attending to meet the kids and give gifts.
As can be expected, the Matheny School has very strict COVID-19 policies to maintain, limiting outside visitors so as not to compromise the health of the students. With that in mind, the party will be held virtually on Saturday, December 19, 2020. The Matheny Christmas Party team will again present gifts to the students at the gathering - while not in person, at least “virtually through computer technology.”
Details of the event are still being worked out by longtime organizer Kevin Eyres, his wife Nan, their daughter Allison, and many “friends that are like family” to make the event a success.
Tax-exempt donations to the party will be used to purchase gifts for the students. Donors will receive tax-exempt vouchers. Donations may be addressed to: RJC Charities, ATTN: Bob Caramella, 70 Albert Drive, Parlin, NJ 08859. Mr. Caramella works closely with Kevin Eyres and the holiday party staff. Donations may also be made through PayPal at the RJC Charities website: rjccharities.com/donate.
As with every other part of our racing and daily lives, it’s the hope that a year from now, all will return to normal and the party will once again be held at the school. For 2020, thanks to the dedication of the “Matheny Racing Family”, the students will still have their special day!

2020 GSVSCC BANQUET
Unfortunately, the club's 29th annual banquet and Hall of Fame awards presentations originally schedule for Sunday, March 22, 2020 was postponed due to concerns regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The new date was to be October 25, 2020. Due to continuing uncertainty (thanks to COVID), it has become necessary to cancel the event for 2020 altogether. We will pick up where we left off on March 14, 2021. The event will still be held at Branches Catering in West Long Branch. A new sign-up form will be provided. The Officers thank you for your patience and support of the club. We look forward to honoring the following folks next year:
Car Owners: Charlie Okerson, Harry Reed and Jim Wolf
Drivers: Oliver Butler and Fritz Epright
Bob Thomas Award: Tim Stephen
Pioneer Award: Dale Clickner
Lifetime Achievement Award: The Voorhees Family

CLUB JACKETS
|
Step out in style! Get yourself a club jacket. Non-members are welcome to purchase jackets.
Photos of one of the original jackets are provided. We will be ordering jackets that are similar, but will not have the checkerboard on the sleeves. They will be made of red sateen material with the club logo embroidered on the back. The front will have your name embroidered instead of a patch. The jacket costs are as follows: sizes Medium, Large, and Extra Large will cost $85; size XXL will cost $90; size XXXL will cost $100. If you want your first name on the front, that will set you back $5. Folks outside of NJ and/or don't attend meetings or events are welcome to place orders; jackets will be shipped for an additional $13.50. If you are interested in ordering a jacket, please contact Linda at info@gsvscc.org. |
