As part of Belletetes’ 2014 Customer Appreciation Event, they are hosting a Cruize-In Night at their Millwork Showcase in Andover on Friday, May 16, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Customers can enjoy free food, vendor displays and demos, raffles and give-away prizes, and the Andover Road Relics and CarNutz of Newport car show. Proceeds from the event will benefit David’s House in Hanover and Belletetes’ We Build It Forward Community Outreach Program.
The Andover Road Relics is a local car club with members from surrounding areas. 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 in 2007, officers were elected, and some ground rules were set. The plan is first and foremost to enjoy our cars and trucks!
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, 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 in 1986 and since then, that “special reason” has served over 12,000 families from around the world!
