A friend of mine is the co-director for a touch a truck event at the West End Community center in Providence, and asked if I could bring my Jeep along with 2 others to the event. This may be an opportunity for some publicity for the club, as well as an opportunity to meet a few state reps who are sure to be campaigning.
Anyone interested in joining me?
Meet up is in the parking lot of Stop&Shop in Warwick (the one next to lowes) at 9am Saturday
Info from their flyer:
The West End Community Center is excited to announce our first fundraiser of the 2012-2013 school year, Touch-A-Truck. This event will take place on Saturday, October 6, 2012 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, in our backyard, Bucklin Park! All proceeds will benefit the children and families in our Early Learning and Youth Programs. Our overall mission is help create self sustaining families who are able to positively contribute to the community by providing all encompassing services to the diverse members of the West End Neighborhood. WECC strives to nourish the mind with education and to facilitate our community in learning the skills needed to achieve their American dream.
This interactive event will allow all children to touch, see and explore big trucks and vehicles. It is a great opportunity for your organization to help the community and participate in a positive event for the children, youth and families of Providence. With the donation of your big vehicle, children will learn about different modes of transportation and have the opportunity to meet those who protect, serve and build their community. West End Community Center is looking for all types of trucks or vehicles for exploration; please see list below:
Fire Trucks
Police Cars
Garbage Trucks
Street Sweepers
Front End Loaders
Back Hoes

It is important to have the vehicle operator in attendance to talk about the vehicle and its operation. They are also in charge of how much access the public is allowed to have to their vehicle. It is up to you if you want them to pass out promotional material.
If you would like to donate your vehicle and time or generous monetary donation will help to purchase fun, hands on enrichment materials, please contact:

I’m a tentative. If I’m not fishing then I would plan to be there.
They would like us there no later than 9:30am. I am thinking we can all meet up in the parking lot of Stop&Shop in Warwick (the one next to lowes) at 9am.
Cards, banner, poster board? Any other thoughts?

Just realized I will be in Atlantic City for a show this weekend and need to hit the road by 10 am Saturday morning.
I’m not sure who ended up with the banner and poster board. Stacey?
P.S. I moved this to the public events forum as an announcement to hopefully get more visibility.
