For those who dont know, I started CC on 6th of October 2005, the same day my mum lost her 3.5 year battle with Cancer, I met some great people before, during and after our families rollercoaster ride dealing with what was happening and I'd really like to be able to give something back.

For this reason, CanberraCruises' 3rd birthday (and every birthday after) will be help as a charity fundraiser with all profits going straight to The Cancer Council ACT. My mum became quite well known throughout the Cancer effected community in canberra for the strength she showed and her unwillingness to let cancer stop her (she went to UK and Paris just 12 months before passing) and as such, I'd really like to make the event a tribute to her and all other sufferers.

The 6th of October is Monday this year so the event will be held on Sunday the 5th.

This is not officially endorsed by The Cancer Council ACT yet. I am waiting on a response from them.

Please be aware that police will be notified about this event and idiots will not be tollerated and will be reported

Not all details are set in concrete, if you have any suggestions please make them here http://www.canberracruises.com/forum...407#post209407

Please only post in this thread if you will be attending so I can add you to the attendance list.

Details:

EVENT: CanberraCruises 3rd Birthday/Anne Cherry Annual Charity Drive

DATE: Sunday 5th October 2008

MEETING SPOT/TIME: TBA/11am

CRUISE ROUTE: TBA

BBQ SPOT/TIME: Black Mountain Peninsular BBQ Area/12:30pm

RAFFLE: Pending prize availability - details will be updated.

WHO CAN ATTEND: Anybody! Everybody is welcome and the more the merrier. Feel free to only join in the cruise, or only come for the BBQ. The more cars in the cruise the better as it would be great to see 100+ done up cars with Charity Stickers cruise through Canberra and then roll into Black Mountain Peninsular.

COST:

- Gold coin donation for a sausage sizzle or drink. May have steak available as well

- Gold coin donation to participate in cruise.

- Charity Cruise sticker will be available, price is pending design.

WHAT/WHO I NEED:

- Any local businesses willing to donate supplies for the Sausage Sizzle. Obviously we need, Bread, Sausages/other meats, Sauces, Soft Drinks/Water

- Any local businesses willing to donate products/services as prizes for the raffle. No prize is too big or small and everything is appreciated!

- Qualified BBQ operators to cook the sausage sizzle, the BBQ's at Black Mountain Peninsular are in pairs, so preferably 1 person to operate each BBQ and then 2 or 3 people to accept donation and hand out food/drinks.

- Cruise organisers, I'm not that great with cruisers and get lost easily anywhere north of Woden (give me a break, I live, work and socialise in Phillip/Mawson..) So I need people to assist in putting together a cruise route, including maps to be given to drivers.

- Cruise Leaders, these are dedicated cars that know exactly where they are going and need to stand out somehow (sticker etc) We need leaders through out the cruise pack to make sure everyone knows the right way, if someone gets caught at traffic lights, a cruise leader needs to be close to get in front and lead from there.

- EVERYBODY to put word out. Post a link to this thread EVERYWHERE! Every forum, tell people at your work place, tell your school mates, tell your mum, tell your mum to tell her workmates. This wont be a success unless people know about it.

Please contact Maclean on maclean@canberracruises.com or 0405835691 if your business would like to help make this event a success.

Better attend this one in your DeLorean so you can travel back to 2008!

But in all seriousness if you're looking for an awesome cruise the Snowies trip is coming up in November. :turboboink:
