MOT2007 delivery day
A round of deliveries today, by MINIsOnTop “yellow hats” Michael, Ivan, Richard and me … first stop was MINI of Peabody to again thank them for their support, and to present copies of three letters sent to us by Make-A-Wish, describing the three wishes we helped create for children-in-need with the more than $16,000 we raised during MOT2006:
We also took a group picture:
(Richard, Ian, Paul, Michael, Ivan)
Next stop was Herb Chambers MINI in Boston; coincidentally we arrived during the delivery of the two-year-lease MINI Cooper won by Meg & Jeff at MOT2007!
We then headed upstairs and found extremely busy Kerry, delaying her just long enough for Michael to present another set of Make-A-Wish letters:
Last delivery of the day was to Rosie’s Place, the MOT2007 charity, where we were met by Ruthie (who also took us on an interesting & informative tour of their location) - we presented the check for $14,993 raised during MOT2007 (this is in addition to $1,500 already presented, from checks collected by MINIsOnTop and written out direct to Rosie’s Place):
I’d like once again to thank everyone involved with MINIsOnTop, as organizer, sponsor or attendee, for helping to bring happiness to children in need …
(a couple more pics in my Gallery, or head over to MINIsOnTop to see copies of the three Make-A-Wish letters)
