Warner Car Collection & August Monthly Lunch Meeting at Bonefish Grill

JATC Members and Guests Invited to an Exclusive Visit with Bill Warner

JATC members and their guests are once again cordially invited to enjoy a very special automotive experience on Saturday, August 22, 2026 from 10:30am until 12:00 noon, with a visit to the renowned private car collection of Bill Warner in Mandarin (specific directions will be provided to those attending).

Mr. Warner is widely recognized as one of the country's most respected automotive historians and enthusiasts. In addition to founding the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, he is an accomplished author, photographer, and race car driver. Despite his demanding schedule, Bill has graciously agreed to spend time with our group, share stories from his remarkable career, and provide a personal tour of his iconic collection.

While there is no admission fee for the tour, the Spina Bifida Association is a charity that is especially close to Bill's heart. In appreciation of his generosity, we encourage everyone to make a tax-deductible contribution to this worthy cause. JATC Treasurer Harold Kelly will be collecting donations (cash or checks payable to Spina Bifida) on the day of the event.

Following our visit with Bill, we will travel a short distance to the Mandarin Bonefish Grill on San Jose Blvd., where we have reserved the private “Mangrove Room” from 12:30 until 2:00pm for our monthly lunch meeting.

Bonefish Grill has prepared a delicious event menu featuring a variety of excellent selections that are sure to satisfy every appetite.  Guests wishing to purchase alcoholic beverages may do so individually.

Like last year, the restaurant requires a single payment for the entire group. In order to facilitate that, and for your convenience, we strongly encourage participants to register and pay through the JATC website.  The all-inclusive cost is $50 per person, which covers your entrée, non-alcoholic beverages, taxes, and gratuity. In keeping with the charitable spirit of the day, a generous portion of the proceeds will be donated by JATC to the Spina Bifida Association.

If you have any questions regarding the online payment system, or if you require an alternative payment method, please contact Harold Kelly at (904) 401-8228.

Please note: these are exclusive, limited-capacity events. Participation in both the Warner Collection tour and the private luncheon is limited to 40 members and guests. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and your registration is not confirmed until payment has been received. 

We encourage you to register early to ensure your place at what promises to be another memorable JATC outing !
