The Delaware Valley Region of the Classic Car Club of America invites you to join us for a lovely, long weekend in Cape May, NJ on Sept 24- 27, 2009 (Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning). We used to have CCCA weekend events there during the 60's and 70's, with people coming from as far as Connecticut and Virginia, and many having such fond memories of it that many have requested we do it again! We have been lucky to find a place with not only an ocean view, but a huge parking lot for our cars and trailers. The Atlas Inn also has a restaurant on premises, where we'll start each day with breakfast by the sea. They also have a pool, and our hospitality suite opens onto a large oceanfront deck.

Cape May is known for its historic Victorian homes, beautiful beaches, and other natural attractions. September is one of the best times to be there. The weather is mild, and the summer crowds gone, but there are plenty of interesting things to see and do as you explore the cape. Thursday evening will be a time to renew friendships, share refreshments and chat about cars in our hospitality suite at the Atlas Inn.

The Emlen Physick Estate is Cape May's only Victorian House Museum. The town's history and architecture make it a leading tourist destination.

On Friday, join us and experience a bit of American history as we set out on a private group tour of Cape May's Historic district via trolley and learn about the life and times of the American Victorian era with a narrated tour of the 1879 Physick Estate.

And Friday lunch at Cape May's renowned Washington Inn, famous for its fabulous food and attention to detail, has been arranged (at a very attractive group rate, I might add). Friday night Dinner will be at the oceanfront Bloody Mary's Bar and Grill, back at our host hotel, the Atlas Inn. (see them at www.atlasinn.com).

Saturday is a free day with endless possibilities. Options include:

	A driving tour of Cape May Point (the southernmost tip of New Jersey) with its 1859 era Lighthouse and the recently renovated WWII fire-control tower, where you'll learn about the technology that protected our shores from Nazi invaders (yes, there really were U boats in the waters just off Cape May).
	Or drive 5 miles to the NAS Wildwood Aviation museum, dedicated to the 42 WWII Navy airmen who lost their lives in dive-bomber training in 1943-45, and see the collection of vintage aircraft.
	We are also planning a road trip out to the Plumbo Buckley Antique Car Foundation & Museum, (limited to the first 25 cars signed up) with a coffee and donut reception from 2:00-4:30PM!

Other things here? Strolling the seaside promenade or browsing the shops and restaurants of the open-air Washington Street Mall, located in the heart of Cape May's Historic District. (a fine art show is there on that weekend)...or just relaxing on the beach in front of the hotel. Saturday evening, we're planning a poolside BBQ dinner back at the hotel.

In addition, we'll have other options available to round out the weekend, like the CMC Zoo, Tea & Tour at a Victorian Mansion on Saturday, golf, and the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and Gardens in nearby North Wildwood.

We'll be sending a more formal invitation with additional details and prices, but wanted to get this to you so you can mark the dates on your calendar and make plans to join us in Cape May!

Your Hosts, Howard & Gail Schaevitz! HASchaevitz@aol.com
