HURRICANE SANDY LONG ISLAND DISASTER RELIEF
Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends but please remember, while most of us had a warm and comfortable place to give thanks thousands of our fellow Long Islanders did not! Homes burned, flooded, destroyed, no place to go but a shelter we can't allow this to continue. The government surely isn't helping. Suffolk County even refused us a Showmobile for this worthy cause, so it's up to us to do something about it.
NEW YORK AUTOFEST in conjunction with WBAB, GRILL 454, and Endless Summer Car Shows will be conducting the New York AutoFest Hurricane Sandy Benefit Car Show at Grill 454 in Commack, NY (directions here) on November 25, 2012 from 9am to 4pm. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Hurricane Sandy Long Island Disaster Relief, a campaign of Newsday Charities, a fund of the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
Newsday, News 12 Long Island and the McCormick Foundation have joined forces to help Long Islanders struggling with the damage, destruction and grief from Hurricane Sandy. The first $500,000 raised will be matched by the Foundation at 50 cents on the dollar. All administrative expenses are paid ensuring 100% of all donations, plus the match, will help Long Islanders rebuild from the devastation. Funds collected will be used ONLY on Long Island to help local nonprofits assisting Long Island Hurricane Sandy victims.
If you or your company would like to be a show sponsor please contact New York Autofest at 516-882-5022. There will be superstar entertainment as well. Expect an announcement soon.

just wanted to thank you for all the storm updates…..your newsletter was a lifesaver..
Thank you Howard for coming to the show Sunday and for your most generous donation. As always the ALCO was a huge hit and big crowd pleaser whenever she started up.

Hi Howard I don’t know if you saw me at the show, but I didn’t want to bother you, you were busy with something on the car, then when I got back, after looking at the other cars you were getting ready to leave. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk to you, but my main reason for going was to donate some things, that’s what really counted at this show. I’ll be watching for your postings on the show, I know they will be great, they always are. So until next time, keep well and take care of the BLACK BEAST and 1937 CHRYSLER
