All Club members here are some events at Hendrick this month.

October 1st thru 31st
Motoring for Marrow (Very simlar to the Susan G. Koman Drive for the Cure). Anyone interested in driving a Mini can come and drive. Every mile that they drive $1 will be donated to the Hendrick Marrow Foundation. They will receive a raffle ticket after the drive and will be eligible to win a GARMIN NUVI.

October 13th Pumpkin painting Contest. Anyone interested can come and paint a pumpkin and the staff at Hendrick MINI will judge and whomever we deem the coolest and the most interesting will receive a prize of unspeakable value.

October 27th
Hendrick MINI Marrow Drive (very similar to our Thanks Mom Marrow Donor Drive) Anyone that is interested can come in and of course drive a MINI and donate a tissue sample that could possibly save a person's life diagnosed with Leukemia. We will take a swab of their mouth with q tip and their DNA will be put on the Marrow Donor Registry. For more information you can contact dana.fredricksen@hendrickauto.com For more information on the Donor Program visit www.marrow.org. Club members we need volunteers to help with this one as we have in the past and I have posted it and a sign up sheet. Thanks Luther Shields, President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas

Sweet lil' Mini!

 

hmm...I guess we'll have to call on Monday and find out who won!

 

All the pumkins were great except mine and it would have been worst without the help from the receptionest who took time off to draw the lines, so I cold paint or try to paint them. We had alot of fun and for those of you who missed it well, we told ya!! Went out to eat afterwards and had some good food and fellowship as well!! Charles and Anna are just to artsy Fartsy for this crowd, there pumkins were great, but it was the fun watching and doing that counts. Doc you get all the paint washed out of your clothes? I still got your extra set KEYS!!!! Told you not to give them to me?????? Shortbus painted a _____________ on his pumkin, can you guess? Bruce why was your pumkin DROOLING? Thanks again to all who participated.

 

That looked like a blast, sorry I couldn't make it. We have put the property in Rocky Point up for sale had to go down with my mom to get the last of the stuff out and clean up.
