Car Show For The Veterans
Hosted by Dan Ziolkowski
Saturday at 11 AM - 2:30 PM
*** BEST TO GET THERE EARLY FOR A BETTER SPOT ***
The resident veterans really love to see all the antique, classic,
and exotic cars that assemble for this private car show. Lotus
Corps is pleased to be one of several car clubs that come to display
their cars for these veterans, many of whom are disabled.
Entry is free, as is the hamburger/hotdog lunch for the entrants.

Perhaps I will attend this as my Father spent time in that hospital many moons ago...
From the Daily Herald:
"When you go to an excess number of judged car shows, before long you'll become too focused on one thing -- going home with a sparkling new trophy. This can cause you to lose sight of one of the main tenants of the collector car hobby: showing your ride for the enjoyment of others.
One area event that prioritizes that altruistic feeling -- gathering vehicles for a worthy audience -- is the annual classic car show at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago.
Volunteers and employees of the center, located at Naval Station Great Lakes, have worked to put on the July event for the past nine (now 13) years with the simple focus of bringing classic cars out for the veterans who reside there to look at and admire. During the show, volunteers will assist veterans or push wheelchairs up and down the rows, allowing our servicemen and servicewomen to get up close with the gleaming vintage machines.
Haley McLaughlin, an automotive enthusiast, Marine veteran and hospital employee, had the initial idea for the show. "Anything to make a vet smile is my motivation. I know for a fact, most love cars and they just light up when they see something they've owned."
Better yet, this event doesn't require you to rise at the crack of dawn. It runs from 11:00-2:30, and a free lunch will be served to all participants."
Yep, my bad on the date, won't let me edit title, it is on the 15th. Thanks Bob
It is a very good show, not sure if I can make it, fellow club members will be there, come and go as you feel.
