Unity Bank Hosts 4th Annual Classic Car Show

    CLINTON, NJ, June 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Unity Bank will host its fourth annual Cruisin' Bob's Classic Car Show on the grounds of its Clinton headquarters on Sunday, June 27, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The popular area car show and fun-filled day of family activities will benefit both the Interfaith Hospitality Network and The ARC of Hunterdon County.

According to Unity Bank Vice President/Marketing Director, Rosemary Fellner, "Bob Rittelman, the founder of this popular event, had a passion for classic cars. Bob's wife, Debbie, of Dicken's Lane Jewelers, has continued her dedicated work as a founder of the show, knowing that Bob would be extremely proud of the tremendous outpouring of support for these very deserving local charities."

In addition to dozens of classic cars, the event offers a fun-filled family day with games, prizes and music by Doctor D. Entertainment, who will also serve as Master of Ceremonies for the show. There will also be an open-air market, food and beverages. One lucky spectator will be chosen at random for a 30-second opportunity to grab up to $300 dollars in the "Blizzard of Dollars" booth!

In a "first" for the car show, a wedding celebration, officiated by Ruthann Disotell, a Certified Celebrant with Celebration of a Lifetime, will take place at 1:30. Ms. Disotell has generously offered to officiate the ceremony for the couple who has changed their wedding date numerous times due to financial challenges. The couple feels that the car show provides the perfect venue for their marriage because their family and friends can benefit two worthy charities while celebrating their union. Bill Ivy, of Cinematic Eye, has agreed to videotape the ceremony for the couple, free of charge. Unity Bank will also provide one member of the couple with a 30-second opportunity in the "Blizzard of Dollars" booth.

The Interfaith Hospitality Network of Hunterdon County, Inc., ministers to the needs of low-income families, homeless families and women by providing temporary housing, meals and relief for other physical needs through a network of committed congregations throughout Hunterdon County. The Network advocates for and seeks affordable housing, transportation and living wage employment; it also provides counseling, case management and mentoring services to guide program participants in their quest to re-establish their self-pride and sense of independence.
