  5. DCMM Annual Post Holiday Party

    in Events

    Posted

    Can I reserve the Banquet table? I think I'm good on tables with what we have, and what Brian, John and Melissa are providing. But just in case...

     

    Anyway, there are only 18 RSVPs at this time. Last year there were about 50 people here. I may be way over preparing if only half the people show up this time.

    I have a set of two outdoor folding chairs and a breakfast-sized table. It's not a lot, but they're small and portable and sitting on a covered porch so they're clean. I'll see if I can get my folding camping chair back too

     

    Also, the part/stuff swap is a GREAT idea! :top:

     

    Melissa, they sound perfect. I'm aiming to make quite a few tables available for people to sit at and become comfortable. There just weren't enough last year and people couldn't put a plate down and eat comfortably. Thank you for your offer!

    If your MINI is scared of the snow or if you have tires and spare parts taking up space under your bed or in your closets, send me an e-mail. Please no PMs.

    This is an excellent idea. Especially since you have the lift right there, people can switch summer/winter tires all in one place without transporting them to and from that storage place under their beds. :hahaha:

    Still time to donate!

     

    On another note, I've lost / misplaced two t-shirts from the event. :frown: We'd ordered 2 shirts to give to the ladies who run 'Operation Second Chance.' They are ladies size medium and size large. They were in the same bag. I could have misplaced them at the dealership or the restaurant. Has anyone seen them, or discovered they arrived home with extra shirts? Please let me know.

    So I was standing in the SecDef's office today and he turns to me and goes

     

    "hey Erin, were you on the Beltway on Sunday with all those MINIs? You raised money for Veterans right? I heard you guys on the radio."

     

    Me: "Yes Sir I was, we raised over two thousand dollars"

     

    Hahaha, I was so caught off guard. Everyone knows about my MINI obsession, and how awesome is it that he heard about MINIs take the Beltway!!!!

     

    :top::wavey:

     

    That is incredible! Soooo Cooooool!!!!

    I'm talking to MC2 about getting MTTB5 in issue #48 that comes out in February. Barry, the MC2 Editor said we can have 2 pages of the magazine.

     

    People who took photos... can you look through them and send me your best 5? I need to submit up to 15 photos for the magazine to select from. Note... by sending me your photos, you'll be giving me permission to send them to MC2 to be published. I can't guarantee that any or all pictures will make the magazine.

     

    I'll need the highest quality you can send me. :) And use your last name in the photo title so we can track which ones are submitted so that person gets credit.

     

    Send to: lona.mcveay@gmail.com

     

    Thank you!

    A HUGE Thank You to everyone who participated today. The number of people who came out to support this event was the best we've ever seen.

     

    I'd really like to thank everyone that volunteered to help out. There were so many! Will, Corey, Craig, Mike and Laura helped with registration set-up. Craig and Mike made registration paperwork a breeze. Erin gave a fantastic driver's meeting. Lawry and Catalina sold tons and tons of raffle tickets. Laura did an amazing job designing the t-shirts. Haemish kept WTOP updated on our status. And little Ray stole the show at the Raffle Prizes. He's a natural with a great booming voice!

     

    Thank you to the Run Leaders! Sara, Chaquitta, Brandy, Corey and Greg. And the impromptu run leaders! Great job in getting everyone to the restaurant!

     

    Our photographers were Craig M, Chris M, Mike B and MikeV. And that guy you saw taking your picture from the Baltimore Ave overpass... that was Justin. And everyone else who took photos and video all day, right? :) Can't wait to see all the photos and videos.

     

    I hope I didn't miss anyone. This couldn't have been put together without the team effort!

     

    Now the numbers... these aren't firm yet!

    At first tentative count, there were around 80 cars. Once we have video, it'll be much easier to count and come up with a firm number.

    (RSVPs never equal the number of cars.)

     

    We counted the cash box before we left the restaurant. Again, not a complete total as there are the credit card transactions to consider. But from what we collected today just in cash and checks from donations and raffle sales, there was $1715. :)

     

    Oh, and I have the raffle prizes for the people who won but weren't there to claim. I'll be PMing these individuals to coordinate a way for them to get their prizes.

     

    Thank you again, EVERYONE for a really great day!

    It's going to be chilly in the morning! Dress warm.

     

    This is our biggest ever MINIs Take the Beltway event. We have an amazing number of people who have RSVPd. Thank you, everyone, for your support!!

     

    We'll open registration at 8am at the dealership. Driver's meeting is at 8:45 in the Sears parking lot. Departure at 9am sharp!

     

    The suggested donation is $10. We'll take cash, check or credit card. Credit Card transactions may be a little slower to process and we have a LOT of people registered. And a small request... please don't bring big bills because we have limited change money.

     

    Don't forget your: Radios. Flags. Cameras. Gas. And scarfs... it's going to be blustery.

     

    See you all in the morning!

    Their contact page (http://wtop.com/?sid=2243710&nid=700) has an e-mail address for Jim Farley the VP of News & Programming. I'd send it to him and use the contact form at the bottom of the page...

     

    Thank you for the link! I just wrote Jim Farley, and I'm waiting for a reply. Last year, Bert called the station and periodically relayed our progress around the loop. The station gave us quite a few shout-outs during the event.

    Hi all - this may seem like a dumb question, but since I've never done the Beltway run before and lunch, how do over 100 people pay for the luncheon? Do we pay ahead of time at Kilroys or what? How do 100 people or close fit in to this restaurant and pay for their lunch. Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question - most of you probably have done this before. Thanks - Nora

     

    Nora, so far only 75 people have RSVPd for lunch. Here's the lunch thread:

     

     

    Kilroy's has a large back area that they give us each year. It holds about 75 people, but if anyone feels crowded, they can sit in general seating within the restaurant.

     

    Kilroy's is also an all-you-can-eat buffet. Each person pays for themselves on the line when they get their food.

     

    Hope that helps!
