| The Downshifters of New England is an ""Oldies"" themed car club for enthusiasts of every age and background. We encourage everyone who's interested in anything automotive to join, regardless of whether or not they own a classic vehicle. The majority of our events consist of nightly cruises at well known hot spots around southeastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island. We also enjoy many trophy and plaque car shows at various times and venues throughout the season. We also have rolling cruises to local restaurants or sight seeing points. At least one ""mystery cruise"" is planned each year, the destination is a secret, only the leader of the pack knows! Our President and resident DJ, ""Johnny Angel"" spins the classics of the '50's, '60's, and '70's on 45 rpm records at our get togethers. During the fall/winter, we host dinner dance parties themed to the current holiday. Net proceeds for all of our functions throughout the year are given to local charities, such as A Wish Come True, Toys for Tots, and the Veteran's Transition House. As a result, we don't charge any club dues, but rather encourage our members to give what they can to help our friends and neighbors. We are a family oriented club and encourage every age to join the fun! |
