JACOB'S WELL

Harford Region members were invited to Jacob’s Well Assisted Living Center near Bel Air on September 29, 2007 to host a small antique car show for the residents. Due to space limitations, the number of cars at the event was limited to 15 . Jacob's Well staff member Ginelle Johnson arranged for the visit and Harford Region member Vernon "Stoney" Stonesifer organized the Region's participation. Harford Region always enjoys an opportunity to drive their cars and visit with senior citizens. The sunny and warm day provided a great atmosphere for a show.

     1961 M151 Army Jeep
           1971 Ford Torino
           1938 Oldsmobile

       Three non-member cars were also displayed.

Food and refreshments were provided by Jacob’s Well, including a large decorated cake that welcomed Harford Region. A professional DJ played an assortment of 1950s music while members of the staff and some residents danced to the tunes.
