Our First Annual Adventure Rally
was a huge success on June 20, 2004. Net proceeds to local women's
support organizations was $4800 !! We had 17 cars in the rally
and boy were they on a goose chase. More of a scavenger hunt
really, with wacky directions and even wackier questions. Our
title sponsor was Budds' Subaru, and pit-stop sponsors Skid
Control School, McDonald's and the post event was a celebration
with prizes and great food at Kelsey's. Join us for next year's
rally..... link
