Look in the monthly newsletter for details about what toys the hospital is collecting.

Sign-up on the club calendar: Charity Run

 

Did we get permission for the North Group meet-up location? Don't want the security chasing us away again...

 

Oh come on. A little smoozing goes a long way. If not, think of the stories you will have to add to last year's.

 

Here is the wish list as published in this month's MINI5280 Newsletter:

 

As we did last year MINI5280 will be holding a raffle to generate a cash donation to the hospital. We will raffle off three items:

One - $300 Discount Tire Gift Card
Two - Ridemakerz Custom Remote Control MINI

Three chances to win, $10/ticket, need not be present to win and all proceeds will go to the Children's Hospital.

Rick will be posting details on how to buy tickets using PayPal.

 

Toy for the kids - worth another bump.

 

A nice group of MINIs from the North and South.

Sorry we skipped out on lunch and the Broncos, but other stuff called.

That wind sure is a pain in the back-side, now it's cloudy up in our area.

Let's do this again....

Pictures will be available later.

P.S. North hospital guard cooperated nicely this time.

 

Teena, excellent pictures, great vantage point. Input to the January newsletter for sure. Joe?

 

Yes Sir,

Now someone just has to write the article. . .

 

Thanks to all who purchased raffle tickets ahead of time and right before the drawing outside Children's Hospital in the 100 mph wind. The winners:

• Remote control MINI (black), courtesy of Ride Makerz -- Rick Gonzales
• Remote control MINI (red), courtesy of Ride Makerz -- Derek Cloud
• $300 Discount Tires Gift Card, courtesy of MINI5280 -- Patricia Suiter

MINI5280 matched the $400 raised for the raffle and donated $800 directly to The Children's Hospital Foundation. Thank you for your support of the raffle and your MINI loads of toys!

The kind folks at Ride Makerz (www.ridemakerz.com) donated six remote control MINIs, four of which will go to future drivers, currently Children's Hospital patients.

 

Ben,
Sorry, I didn't get where live in the Springs. I'm out in Falcon, east of Colo. Spgs. I also heard you asking about DIY's? I think there is talk about having another Garage Day in Jan or Feb. at Import Auto Technicians in the Springs. Good times!

Bryan

 

I'll cover the article. I've already stolen photos from Don & Teena - half way there!

 

Bryan,

I'm just south of you, off of Constitution, East of Powers.
A DIY day would be fun. I have quite a list of things I need to have looked at with the car, so those might need taken care of prior, but I also have a few performance parts I bought and didn't feel like paying double to have installed in Germany...

Anytime you feel like going for a drive, let me know. Always down for a romp behind the wheel.

Ben
