About The Carnutz Car Club
The Carnutz Car Club was started by Wayne Boardman and Merle Sargent in the spring of 2007. They both had experiences good and bad with car clubs over the years. So they agreed why not give it a shot!!! The first meeting was held on April 11th 2007 at B & B Campers, officers were elected and some ground rules were set. The plan is first and foremost to enjoy our cars and trucks!
About the Andover Road Relics
The Andover Road Relics is a local car club with members from surrounding areas.
About David’s House
David’s House is the dream of a little boy named David Cyr who passed away in 1984 after a long struggle with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
During David’s frequent visits to the children’s hospital, at that time in Hanover, New Hampshire, his father, Dick, met many parents who slept in their cars or in chairs in their child’s hospital room, unable to afford any length of stay at a nearby hotel and unwilling to leave their child’s side. Likewise, each time David was discharged, he begged his parents to take the other kids in the pediatric departments with them to their safe, comfortable home in nearby Vermont.
Within a week of David’s passing, the Cyrs and their friends and family had already begun raising money for David’s House. The seed money from which this wonderful organization has grown was David’s own $300.78 (in spare change, allowances, and birthday money stashed around the house). Whenever Dick had asked him what he was saving for, David replied, “For a special reason, Dad.” David’s House opened its doors to guests on January 20, 1986 and since then, that “special reason” has served over 12,000 families from around the world!
