We thank Michael Gelnovatch who brought us through the last difficult year. It was a tough year being President of GHC but Mike had a lot of terrific ideas and dealt with a lot of political rules and regulations. Thank you, Mike, for all you've done for us!
Because of all the restrictions in 2020, the Galloping Hill Cruisers did not make their yearly visit to the Lakeview School. The Executive Board did meet with Bob Ferrara of NJID off-site and presented him with a generous donation despite all the uncertainties we faced in 2020. All of our sponsors generously contributed their sponsorship money to NJID. Most of the people who were to attend our cancelled Spring Fling donated their ticket money to NJID. The Club opted to forego issuing thank you plaques and sponsor books assuring that 100% of the sponsorships went directly to NJID. During our meeting with Bob Ferrara, the Club also presented a few checks from other car clubs, new sponsors, and people who made donations directly to NJID. A charity car show in Linden, NJ made a huge donation to NJID. The family of a previous GHC member donated valuable collectibles that were raffled off and the proceeds went to NJID in her memory. All the unforeseen circumstances in the year 2020 seemed to make a lot of us think differently and the goodness in so many people came out. We thank everyone for their continued support.
The GHC 2020 Vice-President, Gregory Roser, donates ALL money he raises with his "Fanwood's Famous Christmas House" to NJID each year. He raises thousands of dollars for the cause. Thank you, Greg, for your big heart!!

The Galloping Hill Cruisers at Aviation Plaza (Linden, NJ) held two successful Drive-Thru Non-Contact Food Drive Fundraisers to benefit the City of Linden Food Pantries which are in desperate need of food. Location: In front of Pasquale's Pizza - 691 West Edgar Road, Linden, NJ which was open for curbside takeout. Jersey Mike's was also open. Fifty cars were on display as our friends and family drove through to drop off food. This was a drive-thru, no-gathering, no-parking, no-socializing event. Volunteers were on hand to help with food collection. Cash Donations were welcome, however, food is most important.
