If you are able to join our ride to Children's. They have now indicated that, for whomever wants, they will offer a short 20 min Tour of the facility for those of us that wish.

We will be parking in the circle on the W side, right in front. Should be fun...

I just got a call from Children's Hospital. Due to the high incidence of INFLUENZA at the Hospital this year, they have asked that all children under the age of 12 NOT enter the hospital this year. I guess that means that our youth (the future of America) is a high risk transmitter of lip, sass, backtalk, noise, and of course, influenza.

Anyone who had intended to take the Hospital tour with us can still do so, we will just have to leave our influenza-carrying youths outside.

I regret this situation and any trouble it may cause you. However....we can STILL park all the MINIs in the circle on the West side of Childrens. I guess that the MINIs don't transmit the flu...

PS: I have already collected over 3 MINI loads of toys, ie enough toys to fill 3 MINIs FULL! Those of you meeting at the South location, please plan to take some with you...

 

Thanks to all of you who joined us yesterday and contributed to this important event. All told, we had over 200 gifts to deliver from the members of MINI5280 and the employees of Allstate Insurance Co. in Englewood.

Special thanks to the volunteer staff at Children's Hospital, especially Barbara Agnelli who coordinated our event, our parking in front of the Hospital, and the gracious hospital tour.

Jonathan,

Looks GREAT!

Did you happen to find the bag of goodies at the door?

Also, I couldn't help it, when I left I had to do a couple of laps around your circular track in front. Lots of fun.

Thanks,
Brad

 

and yes, I saw the tread marks. I will go leave a few of my own someday...

We had a blast. Over 220 gifts I figure....
