Campout for Hunger Can Food Drive, 12/07/05
 
WMMR is having a can food drive @ the Metroplex Shopping Center the 1st week of Dec (I think). Y100 used to do this and gave out free stuff to people that dropped canned goods off. I got a Sonic Sessions CD from them one year and a gift certificate another year. There really isn't a need to raid your shelves b/c there is a grocery store (Giant?) close by that puts together $10 bags for people.

I though if we got enough people to do this and went in as an organized group, someone could get some radio time to plug this website. As a grand prize, they give out live broadcasts for the largest single donation from a high school or a business. I don't think we can drop off a few thousand lbs. to beat them, but you never know.

Come on people, it's the holidays. Think of all of the less fortunate people out there. What's $10 to you anyway?

If I'm home at all I'll definitely join in.

It's from Monday 12/5 @ 6AM until Friday 12/9 @ 10AM
http://www.wmmr.com/extra08.shtml

In fact, why not have the meet there Thursday night and have everyone bring something. I'm sure that would be a big hit.

TehWagon 11-21-2005 08:06 AM

i think its a FABULOUS idea! :thumbup:

i agree with the thursday night idea- from what i have heard on the radio, you do need to bring it all at once... let's get on this- i won't be over that way much but i'll be sure to make it happen- let's organize it!

Gorilla Unit 33 11-21-2005 09:04 AM

deffinately yes that would be great to have the meet there that week.

Mr Tomtastic 11-21-2005 10:30 AM

Can we do it on a night that I don't have school?
Even I would like to do this. :roll:

95SC2 11-21-2005 01:23 PM

i'm suppoesed to get my license back on the 7th i think, so i might even be able to make this. I wanted to go last year but never got a chance, i wanted to drop off some food then stay for the "Lost" viewing party that they had in the parking lot

TehWagon 11-21-2005 02:09 PM

ohhh that'd be sooo great if they do that again! i'd be all over it- has there been any mention of that for this year?

Nothing is really set yet. Just trying to get something started, but we only have 2 full weeks to get something together.

We can meet in the parking lot like the Nasioc people, buy some bags, and then head over, but I think we can do a lot better than 10-12 cars. Depending how big this gets, maybe someone should email them that week and let them know an invasion is planned...

Gorilla Unit 33 11-21-2005 05:50 PM

Smokescreen 11-21-2005 06:50 PM

Edited the 1st post for the address.

Does this mean you guys want it on Wednesday night so you can watch Lost? That's okay with me (I don't watch it anyway).

TehWagon 11-21-2005 10:40 PM

yes yes yes! great combination!

Smokescreen 12-03-2005 02:32 PM

TROLL 12-03-2005 04:05 PM

Thanks for moving it and making it a sticky mang. Ditto. Trying to get most of the local people here to commit to this like OMEGA SE and the WC crew is like pulling teeth...

Ok, cool. Then we'll set this for Wednesday then. What time does "Lost" start? 8? We should try and get there early so everyone can get decent seats. Yep, the grocery store is in the same parking lot. I can't remember, but I think it is a Giant. No Shoprites here :) We can do what the NASIOC guys are doing- Meet outside Giant, get food, and then drive across the parking lot and make the drop. Or meet at the Plymouth Meeting Mall and then head to the Metroplex.

Oh, and thanks Ash, for reminding me Google works better than Mapquest. Everyone Google it if you don't know where it is.

That's fine. Depending on how nasty it gets tonight, the wrx might not make it either. Snow tires aren't on yet. :cry:

Do me a favor and start organizing the local people together and sending this thread to them. Either call them about it or link them to this thread. Post up in the PA section, if you want. I tried to PM Omega SE about it and he ignored me, but I mentioned it when I was up in WC and he said he was up for it. If he wants to grab some people from the Sentra forums, that's ok too.

Time is short, work fast.

bluengoldsti 12-05-2005 10:22 AM

ill be there, weather permitting. still dont have snow tires. does anyone in the langhorne area that is going want to meet up and drive together?

slavetothemuzic 12-05-2005 11:05 AM

If the weather gets really bad, I volunteer to drive the Cherokee, and I'll pick up people (within reasonable distance).

I can fit 5 (legally) in there.

If the roads aren't bad, I'm taking the car.

igo4bmx 12-05-2005 11:15 AM

I'm in!
we definately gotta all roll up together to make a presence too

Gorilla Unit 33 12-05-2005 12:34 PM

yeah... ill let some people know

TehWagon 12-05-2005 01:00 PM

concur on meeting at giant and rolling in together to make a statement that we're all together- i don't know if we'll break any records, but at least it'll look cool!!!

TehWagon 12-06-2005 07:19 PM

TehWagon 12-06-2005 10:39 PM
