SAMOA Food Drive 2008

[Nimbits]

Hi all, It's that time of the year that we do a good deed, go for a drive, and have lunch together! I have talked to Lisa from KING 5 and she has given me the date which is December 6th, 2008. I'm also including the link to Northwest Harvest so you can get an idea of the foods they are looking for.http://www.northwestharvest.org/Even....htm#whattobuy
Also Don Dixon and I are looking into which route we want to take this year and for the ultimate lunch spot!
Last year SAMOA donated almost 1000 lbs. Chuck says we should donate the weight of a mini! I think thats very doable, maybe even a "Bini"!

Stay tuned, more to come.

If the last stop of our food drive is Northgate we could head up to North City (Shoreline don't ya know) to experience Suni's drive in!

The date is December 6th, and the meeting place this year is going to be on the eastside. This year the plan will be to meet at the shop where I work in Bellevue so we can gather together and have something warm to drink, weigh the food donations, and make our way to our first stop at the Redmond Town Center where we will be able to have our best bet of King 5 TV exposure! From there we will make our way north and then back to the Northgate Mall and then lunch to end our day. Remember, 3 donation stops so bring a little something for each stop.
The meeting place will be Gerber Collision and Glass, 13640 M.E. 16th St. Bellevue, Wa. 98005
The meeting time is 8:00 am for weigh-in and 9:00 am for departure.
Take a look at the link below and see what it was like at last year’s event!

Is that parking lot behind Romio's available?

There are about 12 large parking spots reserved for Romio's at the back of the building. Looks like room for 24 Minis if we're lucky and the spots are open when we get there. Don

and just when I was going to ask if anyone had some air shocks for my mini, Chris and Ed are bringing a 24ft. budget truck full of food.

What time will it be ending by? Have to work at 3...

[minied]

Where are we supposed to sign up to get a head count for pizza? If it's here, there'll be two of us.

[Dixminion]

Buddy, There are 3 stops so you could peel off early if needed.
Ed, Good idea on the headcount. Two or three of us.
