[VA RATPACK] Williamsburg Cruise-In August 30
Ok guys and gals, so we are on the books for hosting the Williamsburg Cruise-In on the 30th of August.
The host shopping center Website http://www.newtownwilliamsburg.com/
Talking to Tony from the BeachCombers, our main function will be to have a presence and help park people. They did something, which I would like us to do, and asked for a voluntary donation from cruise-in participants and donated the $$$ to CHKD. My thought is to ask for a voluntary $3.00 donation per car. From my understanding, some of the shops in the shopping center also donated some door prizes that they sold raffle tickets for.
So far, here is a list of people who said they could show up and help out. I would just like to thank all of you in advance for pitching in.!

Here is what we need to do, as recommended by Tony, and the people from VPCCC
1. Contact Terresa Knighten on Thursday or Friday the week of your
host at 757-.... (I got this covered)
2. New Town will rope off the cruise-in area on Saturday morning.
Barrels and other items are placed in the Large Trash Bin fenced area
near The Bay Port Credit Union at corner of Ironbound and Monticello
Ave.
3. Show up no later than 4:00 pm, bring a pop up canopy, there
will be a table in the Trash Bin fenced area.
4. If you want music or need power, bring a 100' extension cord
and the store "Justice" will normally allow you to plug in for power.
5. Bring a cash box, some change and a roll of raffle tickets. We
suggest $2 per show vehicle "donation" and it appears the honor system
works quite well, let folks park and come up to do their donation.
6. Some one from New Town will bring by door prizes and we used
the raffle tickets as confirmation of donation and drew door prizes from
the stubs.
7. Have about 3-4 folks prepared to help park, be sure to leave
space to cross parking rows if you limit entrance to one aisle which I'd
recommend.
*** Also if you wish you can sell 50/50 tickets separately or even more
tickets for those raffle items .. Separate color for 50/50. ***

We have had some offers so...
Ford & Tom, I don't know if we need both, but if you could both bring your tents just to be on the safe side, especially if something comes up and one of you can't make it.
Steve...The vests sound like they would be a good idea to help make the people parking cars a little more visible...better safe then sorry.
I am not sure if I still have a cash box or not, does anyone else have one in case I don't?
Raffle Tickets...I know I threw away the last 10 - 20 that were left on the roll I had for one of my music groups, so does anyone have any? If not I will go acquire some...do you all want one set, or do two for a 50/50?
An extension cord I know I have, but what about some kind decent sound system...anyone have a decent portable one (I know how ironic that the musician does not have a good portable sound system
)

There is a suggestion, and I will not take credit for it, it really needs to go to Jim....
For the people who pay the voluntary $3.00 donation, how about goody bags for them? Nothing big or extreme, but you know stickers, coupons, business cars, a raffle ticket, or whatever other goodies we can get for them.
Even if we did like 50, anyone have anything they can donate, or know of any leads for us to get goodies for the bags (and the bags)? Let me know and I will start a list of who is going to get us what.

As far as I know we are still in. However, what time does this wrap up? I ask because I have to take my son to the airport at like 3 I think. So I may be a little late.

Is this a "Corvette only" event, or can I let others know about this? Some of the guys over on tbssowners.com might be interested. We need a new destination since Bass Pro has gone away.
