***Spring Meet for Wounded Veterans*** 29 April 07

Quote:

PURPOSE

An opportunity for M3 enthusiast to get together, put names to faces, share car stories and ideas, show off our cars, and show our gratitude to the members of our Armed Forces by raising money and contributing to the Fisher House Foundation. Briefly, the Fisher House Foundation provide free temporary housing for families of wounded Veterans at major military and VA medical centers.

LOCATION

Currently the parking lot at Racing Dynamics. We can hold about 60 cars and still have some room for other stuff. Backup location would be the parking lot at Wolf Trap (I still have to look into this)

DATE & TIME

Currently April 29th. However, the charity event for the U of Maryland is the 29th. If we think this would be a conflict, then we can pick another date. Time is 12:00 to 4:00 (al open for suggestion on time).

RAFFLE

To raise money for donations to the Fisher House Foundation, we will raffle as many items as we can that have some value to someone. For example, a Rasp Terminator, K&N 63, (maybe, just maybe a set of CSL replicas), etc. Gary of Martin Motorsports will donate as well as Racing Dynamics.

ACTIVITIES

I would like to have this catered by someone like Dixie Bones or some type of Bar-B-Que place. This would be our contribution to the event (Custom Performance - would sponsor this part). Then maybe $5.00 per person for ribs, burgers, cole slaw…the money collected for the food would be part of the overall donation.

Our friend Darcy will be there to take pictures of cars, people, pets…and the event. For a small donation, people could have a professional picture of their car and/or family. We can setup an area that has a nice background for some car shots.

FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION
http://www.fisherhouse.org/aboutUs/aboutUs.shtml



Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time - during the hospitalization resulting from injuries sustained during combat.

All donations are tax deductible. All I need is your name and address to give to the Fisher House so they can send out official receipts.

Donations can also be made directly to the Fisher House Foundation.

GET THE WORD OUT

Spread the word. It was suggested that members could add something in there signature to spread the word on the M3Forum. Perhaps something like:

Northern Virginia Spring Meet for Wounded Veterans click -> HERE

Hope to see some new bimmers out there

thks to brother Budman for the parking space, it nice to know people
I saw skunkman, our wolftrap official photographer, and he made a call to David right there and then, when I ask for him.
But these guys maybe still interested in getting something together with e90/2 folks and I was thinking of maybe inviting them to our next upcoming. But Im not sure how other e90 mbrs feel about an open invite.
Well let me know what you guys think..

When are you coming back and do the springs, I'd like to see yours done first. For clear-bra is climbing up in my priority agenda

I'm learning more and more going to these things
