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 to pdf version of Beaver Article. |
