TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 I have a friend that does baked goods, is that suitable for the raffle? Melissa I think it would be a great raffle gift. Do you think she would be donating a gift card for a future baking need or would she be giving you a goodie to bring and raffle off? I butt in a lot to help out Lona since I know she can't get to the forum from work. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Hasn't someone given a press release on this to WTOP before? Anyone remember who or how? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

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...

Scouser Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 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
Poison Ivy Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 Couple things. There's a separate reservation for the lunch that has 75 people currently registered. Some people won't do the beltway drive and just join us for lunch and vise versa. The lunch is a buffet so that makes the bills a lot easier, typically you get charged for your buffet and beverages. We've been to Kilroys for many years and they give us a room in the back all for us (including parking in the back). Having cash makes the payment process much easier.

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!
Drillslinger Posted November 5, 2013 Report Posted November 5, 2013 Spoke with the Frau about this and it looks like we're in for the run but lunch may be pushing our luck with the kids and naps. Just gave to register (where? Facebook?) and there's a small matter of reinstalling some back seats ;-)

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.

You might want to consider sending press releases to the 3 TV stations in the area as well, they might be interested in covering it... Better yet, see if you can convince the PR person at Operation Second Chance to draft the release and send it out... They could probably do a better job and get more interest than any of us could... Unless we have a PR person in the club... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

GreenCactus Posted November 7, 2013 Report Posted November 7, 2013 Do they have the vendors on the back? They do! Except for the zippered hoodies. Due to the zipper, the event logo is on the back.
