Tar Heel MINI's volunteer for Tour to Tanglewood
 

In keeping with MINI's campaign to do good things in the community, the club has approached the Central NC chapter of the MS Society. On Saturday, September 9th, they will hold their annual Tour to Tanglewood to raise fund to help battle Multiple Sclerosis. They were very happy to have a group of our size to help, and have been assigned the task of Parking and Traffic. In the past parking has been an issue. They are looking for us to direct traffic at both the start and finish that Saturday. They have agreed to recognize the club (i.e. have our cars placed somewhere at the Tour and the finish). Additionally, we will be given lunch provided by Carrabbas and will be able to participate in the festivities once the parking is over. This is a big event and will be covered by local TV and other media, and would be a great chance to publicize the club.

The plan, at this time, is to meet at the start (Greensboro, Volvo Headquarters on I-40) to direct traffic and parking, then leave after the cyclist have departed around 9:00 and drive to Tanglewood (just west of Winston) to coordinate the parking at that end.

This is just a "head's up" to place on your schedule, and I would hope that we can have about 30 people. This is a great cause and has a special meaning to one of our members who is battling MS herself.
