so i have to do this senior project in the between now and spring time. it has to do with an interest of mine or a future career (race car driver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) ) and it has to have a charitable effect. I was thinking a car show and/or race/drive here in the greater seattle area. what do you guys think? I was thinking teeners but its for charity, so we should just invite everyone with a sports or show car. Tell me what you guys think, who i should talk to, where to have it, etc. Thanks

i'm a little curious why you selected the 'girlie driver' smilie but only a little -- please, i don't really want to know ....
who you should talk to first for an event involving moving vehicles is an insurance carrier. if it's a scheduled event through your PCA Region it's a cakewalk - basically, you get it on your Region's calendar - charity goodwill for the Region, handshakes and warm fuzzies all 'round. the Region President applies for coverage from National, you do your due diligence to run a safe event, you sign the forms showing who's in charge and how you can be contacted and ta da - you're covered. if you want to do a sho-n-shine, you will need a venue. someetimes this can be worked out with a park (contact a governmental official) or a shopping mall (but be prepared for resistance - "yes, your guys are no problem but if we let you in we won't be able so say no to the lo-riders..." - i heard that more than a few times... many communities have a "Toys For Tots" cruise or some such similar around Christmastime; getting affiliated with an ongoing event with some momentum can eash the stress of doing it all from scratch ... |

thanks for the ideas. now that i think of it, i could probably involve myself with an already planned charity event but the idea of organizing one is still on my mind. does anyone have the name/number of a pca person (i'm not in PCA, i'm not 18 (bastards)) that i could talk to to organize this. anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated and contacts of people who know what they are doing. any imput would be great. and no it's not a girl, that's just how fast i drive with the top down.

National will contribute $300 to a charity event, that should get you some bankable 'seed' money the Region can pledge or advance on the event's behalf. and i don't name the smileys :-) ... |
