CHEER, Inc.’s 14th annual fundraising Wheels for Meals Car-Truck-Bike Show is not your average car show. Besides the dozens of vehicles that will come to be displayed on Saturday, Aug. 3 at the CHEER Community Center on Sand Hill Road, off Rt. 9 east of Georgetown, the event will also feature a Champagne Luncheon that is open to the public between 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Individual luncheon tickets are $25 at the door.
The CHEER Nutrition Department cooks a delicious full course meal available to the public as well as registrants. This year’s menu includes chicken marsala, baked ham, cocktail meatballs, au gratin potatoes, green beans, scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, cream chipped beef over biscuits, potato salad, pasta salad, dinner rolls with butter, assorted desserts, and the renown Champagne Mimosas.
If you have a classic vehicle and enjoy displaying it and spending a summer day with fellow car enthusiasts, register your vehicle for the CHEER event. Registration forms can be found at www.cheerde.com/events.
The event is the non-profit agency’s yearly fundraiser to help provide services for senior citizens in Sussex County. The proceeds will help expand and diversify a wide range of services and programs supporting healthy and active lifestyles for senior citizens 50 years and over, as well as provide support for their family members and caregivers. Sixty-three dollars is needed to provide one week of healthy meals to a homebound senior; $120 provides one week of housekeeping for a senior; and $40 provides one week of transportation for a senior. The total cost to help support a senior in their own home with adequate nutrition, clean living environment, and weekly connection to their community is $223.
Come on out between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Aug. 3 and enjoy the day viewing the dozens of vehicles on display and partaking in a delicious lunch. Rain date will be Sunday, Aug. 4.
