SxS Precious Smiles Ride

Finally finished the flyers . Now to see if I can upload them to here. OK , fialiar 1 [img][/img][img][/img]

Man , I hate this computer stuff..................

The only thing I've ever uploaded are pics. This is a PDF file . I'd take a photo , but sis has my camera . If you would like a flyer to copy , send me an e-mail and I'll add it as an attachment .
The ride is June 6 , 2010 10 am - ??? at Mines & Meadows ATV / RV Resort in Wampum Pa. (www.minesandmeadows.com ) near Ellwood City . I've already contacted our local radio station who will announce it 3 times before April 25 . I'm asking for RSVP's so I can get an idea of how many drivers are needed and how many are attending . If anyone needs any further info , please e-mail me (rnmnoble@gmail.com ) ( first 3 letters are RNM ) and I'll help any way I can .

Hope to see ya there , Rick.

Ha Ha..... This cumputer stuff ain't gonna get the best of this boy.... Chock one up for determination !

Yes I did. It also helped when I reread how to post pics....

No , my lttle girl & I just went down to speak with some firehalls & churches to try to get some food for the event .
I did go on the mine tour last year though. It would be a great place to try new lights for your rides . You can't see ANYTHING that is not directly in your light beams. Kinda spooky !

We were on the last tour and a little boy needed his brakes adjusted , so the guide / mine owner took us to the developed part of the mine where his rentals and workshop are . Very cool ! Literally.... LOL Picture a cave with 20 ft cielings and about 60 x 100 painted white walls & concrete floor . There were a couple other large rooms off of the main aisle / tunnel . You normally only get to see a small portion of the undeveloped dirt & mud floor area . But , it has hills , mud holes and a small lake . Kinda neat going up a hill and hoping you don't hit the cieling when you get to the top .

Update for those following the BIRTH of an event ..... I've put


countless hours in on the phone and computer soliciting for donations with minimal success , but I really struck gold ( priceless help ) when by fate , I dropped off a flyer at a business that converts vans and houses for handicap individuals . An individual that works there and his mother not only have contacts in the handicap community , but also live within miles of the Mines & Meadows area. Seems they have almost sewed up most of the loose ends overnight. We will have shelter , DJ , food , seating & tables , bonfire , event T- shirts and more volunteer drivers / machines . We're still working on simple entertainment for the children such as a clown , face painting ect.. There really are alot of good hearted people in this world , sometimes it just takes a little faith and determination to find them . Also , I would like to thank all of the people here that have helped steer me in the proper directions and have given so much priceless advice . I and the children thank you . This 1st of it's kind event would have never been possible without you.

Thank you all , Rick.

Just an update for those that asked if the Cabelas style rear jumpseats would be allowed . Mines & Meadows said YES . This way if a concerned parent wants to ride along in the back , they now can .
Guess this means I'll have to make a quick run down to Cabelas and get one before the event...............
