Light drive & gift exchange Sat. Dec, 10 7pm depart, OP area

Post by dsopoci »

We will leave at 7 PM from Starbucks at 3807 West 95th Street in Overland Park. (Please arrive early so we can leave at 7.)

The drive is a full two hours of Christmas light displays. One house has a donation box for Make-A-Wish if you would like to contribute.

Drive ends at Starbucks at 83rd and Metcalf.



This will be the second Christmas light drive and gift exchange. We had a great deal of fun last year, so we decided to do it again!

John has graciously volunteered to plan a route for the light drive. We will be exchanging gifts at the end of the drive.

If you want to participate in the gift exchange, I will need to know who is participating no later Dec. 1 so I can pair people up in time to shop. Spending limit for the exchange is $20, please list three things that you are interested in to help the person shop for you.

The starting and stopping point will be posted as soon as possible. Last year we met at a Starbucks/Chipotle and ended the drive at another Starbucks. If you would like to just join us for the drive and not participate in the gift exchange, that would be great. We would love to see you.

As long as the weather is not terrible Jane I plan to attend the light drive along with Remi. Sounds like we will see a lot of great light displays!

Thank you John!

You gotta name your Mini Robbie. Well, actually you don't but it is more fun if you do since every Mini is unique and even has their own unique personality as well.

So, my younger sister Stephanie will be joining me on the drive, but she is riding with me, so no need for an extra print-out. I just wanted it to be known. :) She's come to several MINI events, so I'm sure she is a familiar face!
