Vancouver area MINI breakfast drive - bring a toy.

Since many here are not in VMCC, I thought I would add this here.

Hi all,
I called JackFM and the Pan Pacific Hotel and they inform me that this year's annual toy drive happens on December 12.
I have spent a number of Christmases in a hospital when I was quite young, I can appreciate what these charities do. So now that most people think I'm all grown up, it turns out I've faired well and am able to own neat things like a MINI. It's time to help out our community in a small way.
So I would like to challenge all MINI drivers to bring an unwrapped toy down to the Pan Pacific Hotel on December 12 between 6AM and 9AM. Parking is free and you get free breakfast too.

I was wondering if MINI drivers would like to meet somewhere (maybe Yaletown MINI's service department, or Richmond MINI) and we can do a MINI drive to the Pan Pacific together.

Any interest in this?

Damm, I only made one event this year! And I'm going to miss this one too! In Vegas that weekend, hope it's a good turn out for a good cause.

So here's what I am going to do.

Meet at Richmond MINI and leave there at 7:00am for Vancouver.
Meet at Yaletown MINI's service department and leave at 7:35am for the Pan Pacific Hotel.

Should arrive at the Pan Pacific around 8:00am. I should be able to get back to work in Burnaby by 9:00 so I won't be too late.

Those who are able to join me can meet me at Richmond MINI or Yaletown.

I'll have my FRS radio with me so we don't get too lost in the rush hour traffic.

Thanks for reading.

As it turns out, due to construction for the 2010 Oympics, we will NOT be meeting at MINI Yaletown's service centre as I went there today and found absolutely no parking or anywhere to stop and get grouped. So MINI Yaletown the sales shop said there should not be any problem meeting on Hamilton Street in front of their store. So if you can't meet us in Richmond at 7:00am, we can meet at MINI Yaletown on Hamilton street at 7:30am.

There will be some members of the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club and Size MINI Club joining us.


Cheers!
