Thanks, Boomer :)
Tip #1 - Don't eat the donuts :) I totally gave up sugar. I had to as I developed Type 11 diabetes and had an A1C of 14.5. I am now controlling it with diet and exercise - no more medications! :) Oh, I'll be there to show off and I have to confess that I fit a lot better into my MINI, LOL :)))) Carole

FYI, Seattle MINI just sent out an email that also says, "11am" :(
"We will be meeting up with the Porsche Club on Sat. Dec. 3rd, at Overlake Christian Church, 9900 Willows Road NE, Redmond, WA 98052 at 11:00 AM. From there, we jointly caravan to a Northwest Harvest Drop Off at Redmond Town Center where we tally up the goodies and add up all the checks." Someone needs to coordinate this....what time does the drop off center think we are going to arrive there? Will they be expecting a huge group? Carole |

Carole, again one of my MAJOR FAUX PAXS!!!
Already fallen on my sword with Seattle Mini and hopefully a clarification will be sent on the time. There is no one to accept BLAME OTHER THAN ME! We don't have an estimate of the number of cars, we hope it will be greater than last year. The PCA ads still state 1:00 and Larry and I have been trying to correct this as well. The plan is for everyone to make their way to Redmond Town Center. Meet up at Overlake Christian Church at NOON. Both CLUBS!!!!!! NW Harvest had indicated there best time to receive our groups are between Noon & 2:00 PM. From there we plan to "PARADE" over to REDMOND TOWN CENTER for the drop of all our GOODIES and we'll add up all the check donations while we are at the church. PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE APOLOGIES for ANY AND ALL CONFUSION ON TIMES!!! NW Harvest has been told are target for this year, but honestly, I don't even know what to expect! Only hoping for more than last year. Very concerned that Porsche with their 1,650 MEMBERS will arrive in force. We will be in constant communication with NW Harvest. We had asked for seperate lines & bins for our donations but have only received seperate bins so far. I can only say that the confusion is ALL ON ME!!!! Thought this would be better this year with more time-----------------but??????????????????????? Cheers! |

Greg - Don't be too hard on yourself - trying to coordinate events with multiple organizations participating is always more complicated than you would think. Somehow ("Insert Miricle Here" usually) things end up working out and most people are completly unaware of what the organizers have been thru.

Jack thanks! Really hoping this exceeds last years effort. It's a great cause & our club really stepped up and so did the Porsche club.
The whole idea is to have fun while doing something to assist others in our community. Pretty COOL if it works! Cheers! |

Kiwi, welcome to the club! Participation is all that's needed but really appreciate the offer. Wish I knew more people from your area so you all could meet up and drive down together.
Something to consider: A group is getting together @ Frost Donuts prior to the actual meeting. You might want to swing by and meet some of us prior to the event. You also might want to post something under the Squadron thread. May find some people to join you. Cheers! |

Has anyone made suggestions for going out to lunch after? Last year, no one seemed to know what was going on, so I just drove home after I dropped off my food at Redmond. I hope this year we could have a firm idea of a place to go, and we'll need to make reservations for a large group.

Hey Carole, Larry Nelson & I have talked about this at the beginning but haven't come up with anything yet. Last year we did get together, but as you said, it wasn't the best organized announcement and many people didn't come or even know to come.
One of the difficulties with this is NUMBERS! I don't have a clue on the number of MINI's and owners that will be participating in this event. I don't think Larry has a clue on the number of Porsche's and owners from the PCA. Ideally, it would be great to have both clubs attend lunch and get to know each other. We are still talking about this and as soon as we can, we'll post something on this site & the Facebook page. Just hoping we have more cars/people than last year! Stay tuned! Cheers!

Larry Nelson of the PCA has talked with the people at the Coho Cafe in Redmond and they are willing to work with us, since we don't have any idea of how many people will come to the event or lunch.
Here's their website: It's their Redmond Location, in the Bella Botega Shopping Center. Hope everyone will come to both the event and the lunch. Kurt, has also put the notice on Facebook! See you all there! Cheers!

DONATION NEWS!
Received our first Cash Contribution from one of our fellow track rats that also carves up the slopes. Since he wasn't sure if he'd be on the slopes or at the event, he mailed a GENEROUS Check. Now fellow track rats will know this GREAT CAR NUT and TRACK ENTHUSIAST, and he doesn't pilot a MINI but hangs out with fellow enthusiasts, his ride is know as "Dragonfly" and it's black & the Marque name begins with a "P"! Thanks for getting this PARTY ROLLING! Cheers! |

kiwi, I plan to be there around 10:30, 10:45 to get a sugar fix. Think the trip to Overlake Christian Church will only take about 30 min. from there so it will give us time to enjoy coffee and donuts before the face off with Porsche.
Hope to see you there as well as some other North End Mini Pilots. Cheers!

Another Track Rat Delivers!!!!Most of the Mini Track Rats will recognize this most recent contributor to NW Harvest. This is a couple that trailer their ride to the track and end up BS'ing with us and just having a good old time talking cars and stuff. Both are really QUICK!!!! He run's in "A" and she runs in "B" and when I see my MIRROR FILL UP with their car, my arm is out the window in a hurry. THEY CAN BOTH DRIVE!!!!!!Looks like we only have 1648 Porsche owners to contend with now since the note with the check said: "Put this on the MINI side!!!!!!!Quick change of topic. Track season is over for the year but again, I'll try to encourage everyone with an interest in driving, to come out to the track next year. You'll be pleasantly surprised by your ride, amazed at how much you learn and the added bonus is the PEOPLE you'll meet!!! Cheers!
