Toys For Tots Run and Holiday Party

pbraun — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:01:43 +0000

We have a group of MINI owners meeting at our showroom, 1259 East Main Street, Stamford, CT 06902, at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7th.

They’ll have their MINI all decorated for the holidays, and will be bringing along new, unwrapped toys to be donated to children in need.

We’ll take a little tour all together of some of the local holiday decorations and meet back at the showroom about 12:00 or 12:30. Then, we’ll organize all the toy donations and have a little Holiday Party.

If you’ve never gone on a MINI run or event, this is a good one to do, as it will give you a great feeling inside to be able to help some of our less fortunate neighbors. There is additional information about this event on the local MINI owners forum at: http://nemini.org/.

If you’d like to attend, either the run or the party, or both, please RSVP to Peter Braun at 203-347-4800 or peter.braun@minifairfieldcounty.com .
