Share Your Christmas Food Drive - Wednesday, December 12th

:xmas:
The Food Drive is just a little over a week away!
:xmas:
We will start gathering at the Burger King on Amnacola Hwy. (across from the Police Services Center) at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, December 12th.  At about 5:55 we will leave for Ross's Landing.  We will be featured LIVE on the 6 O'Clock News (Channel 3 . . . I think)!
:xmas:
We need everyone that has a running VW to show up if at all possible.  Last year we had a club record 10 Volkswagens in the food drive . . . this year we want to have at least 20!  If you have more than one VW, try to find someone to drive that second one!  We need all the VWs we can round up this year!  Feel free to decorate them for Christmas . . . bows, ribbons, lights, etc.  If you have a set of Club Logo magnets, please bring them along!  I'll drive my bus and bring plenty of paint . . . if it's not raining we can decorate it as a rolling Volks Folks billboard!  This is a great PR oportunity for the Volks Folks.  We not only help out the Food Bank now, we also get a little free exposure for Bug-A-Paluza which is where we really help out the Food Bank.
:xmas:
Oh yeah, don't forget to bring food!  Each VW should have at least one sack of food to drop off!
:xmas:

I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. My step-father just passed away.  I'm taking Mom to the funeral home in the morning to make arrangments, so I have no idea what will be happening just yet.  I'll do my best to make the food drive, but I may end up sitting it out this year.   :(

:wow:  Thanks to everyone who picked my slack!  This is the first one I've missed going back to '98 when the club started doing this, but I didn't have much of a choice.  I had 4 VWs lined up to be there (my bus, Joy's convertible, Justin's red New Beetle and his girlfriend's silver New Beetle).

I talked to Herb the other day and his mother's visitation and funeral were scheduled for the same times as my step-father's, so I assume he wasn't there either . . . and we still had 11 VWs there!

That's a new club record!  If my memory serves me correctly we had 4 VWs in 98, 6 in 99, and 10 last year.  Next year we WILL top 20!

Did anyone record the news?  If so can you bring it to the meeting Monday night?  I think I can borrow a 13" TV with a built in VCR.
