Hi guys. I've heard that there's a trip to Helen, GA planned by Atlanta Minis sometime next month, and I've been unable to reach anyone about this. So could someone respond with particulars about registration, or anything else I need to know about? Thanks a bunch.

Thanks alot for that link. (Now here's the bad news!! ) Because I use AOL (dial-up, no less!!) The activation code they send you after you register, won't come through!! And they even acknowledge that "if you have AOL..." you're basically up the creek without a paddle. So...any thoughts on how I could get a hold of these folks?? I've thought of calling Global Imports, the North Atlanta Mini dealer, but so far haven't. Any additional help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

 

The following was posted on our boards. We would love to have you. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this here, but since you asked, and it's for such a great cause, no one should mind. . . hopefully!


Summer Drive to Helen GA and MINIs motoring against cancer

Hello AtlantaMINIS! Join us Sunday August 5 for a scenic drive to Helen GA. We'll meet at the North Georgia Premium Outlets off GA 400 in Dawsonville at 10:30AM, with a departure time of 11AM. The drive to Helen should take about 2 hours which includes a rest stop along the way. Once in Helen we'll have lunch at Viele Margaritas overlooking the Chattahoochee River. Their menu varies from wraps to burgers ($5-$10). Then around 2-2:30PM the drive will continue with a stop in Batesville for some ice cream.

Directions:

North Georgia Premium Outlets is about 35 minutes north of Atlanta off GA 400. Take exit 27 toward Dahlonega / Cumming. The Outlets will be on the left. Look for all the MINIs parked at the North end of the mall.

Depending on our numbers we may leave in two staggered groups. Maps and written directions will be provided. Make sure to bring your two way radios set to Channel 7, subchannel 21.

MINIs Motoring Against Cancer

In the spirit of MINI Motoring Hearts, AtlantaMINIS has joined forces with other MINI clubs around the country with MINIs Motoring Against Cancer (MMAC). The organizers of MMAC have designed a banner that is being passed from club to club to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Each member that makes a donation will be allowed to sign the banner before we send it to the next club. In addition, MINI of South Atlanta will be giving out Motoring Hearts grill badges (a $16 value) to those who make a donation. One badge per MINI! Proceeds will go to the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, so please bring your wallets and checkbooks and a generous heart to help AtlantaMINIS motor against cancer.

We hope everyone can join us on the 5th. It will be a great chance not only to motor and spend time with your fellow AtlantaMINIs, but also a chance to help others as well. So mark your calenders and reply to this thread if you plan to attend.
