Holiday Lights Drive, Saturday December 18th 6 PM

[ragtopday Johnna]

Cdecker78 and his lovely wife have volunteered to coordinate December's gathering, a holiday lights drive. Watch for details soon!

(And on a side note, if you happen to have a copy of last year's holiday lights drive information, would you please contact me? I cannot locate the files and would like to have it to share with Chris and Heather.)

From cdecker78: Mark your calendar for the December gathering. The date will be Saturday December 18th 6PM start time.
We will again be touring some amazing houses followed up with coffee/hot chocolate at Starbucks. I will be making test runs shortly.

More info to come............

Thank you Johnna!

I have sent out emails to a few companies asking for SWAG and stuff to put into some prize bags. Of course in return I will be posting some information about the companies that are generous enough to donate items. I will be updating this list as I get more information.
So far I have received a response from...


Outmotoring.com has sent some items for all of us as well as a couple items for prizes
Craven Speed has sent us some $10 Gift Certificate for prizes.
ALTA Performance has sent us all a gift for Christmas. (let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!)
American MINI Mates sent a shirt for a prize
Baron MINI has been extremely generous as always.

They are all great sponsors for just about anything MINI/Mini related. Check them out and be sure to tell them you are with KC MINI.

[cdecker78]

Going to do the initial test drive of the route tonight. Wish us luck....

Also I need to get a count of how many MINI/Minis and people will possibly be coming. Please RSVP ASAP. Thank you!

[cdecker78]

Route is confirmed. Parent tested, kid approved! I will have directions the day of for all, and a list of addresses for the GPS people. Plan on 2 - 2.5 hours for the tour. Starting at Baron MINI leaving the lot about 6 PMish. Ending at Starbucks. I will have the MINI iPhone app on my phone running.

Be sure to dress your MINI/Mini for a "Best dressed for the holiday" prize.

Be sure to fill up your car and empty your bladder!

Please RSVP if possible so we don't overwhelm the staff at Starbucks.

I'll be there. I don't know any of you yet though. I've met the Champagne's, but that's all. When the drive is over, I'll be continuing my drive up to Wisconsin.

Should I still RSVP here if I already said Yes on Facebook?

[cdecker78]

If you RSVP on Facebook I would still like to see your name on here as well.

It's always helpful if folks can RSVP on the forum. It's a challenge to match up Facebook RSVPs with your real/FB name to the forum RSVPs with your screen name. If only there were a way to turn off the FB RSVP option so everyone could RSVP here instead...

[DA MINI]

Candidate for Starbucks only. Which one?
