texana55 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hey everyone. I talked at length with Brenda Jennings on the phone last night. We discussed the flyer that I volunteered to prepare. I gave Brenda a few pieces of information that I need to prepare the flyer, and as soon as I get those, I will draft it out. Then, send it to Laurie and Brian to review for approval. We should get that done pretty quick, and once we do, I can post on a number of forums and folks can pull copies down to place at businesses, etc., in their respective areas. I understand from my conversation with Brenda that she is getting a bulleted list of things where some help is needed, and she will post on the SOS forum so hopefully interested volunteers will solicit their names to jump in. Many of you know me and know the work I've done with Texana throughout the three last regular seasons for PR, marketing, etc., and you may wonder why is this guy now doing a flyer for another track. Well folks, this is a benefit event with the hope of generating funds. The family in dirt track racing is not a one track thing. It's an all track thing when it comes to the dirt track family. We each have a talent to offer when one of the family is down. So, I'm happy to offer the little bit of talent in this way. Also, as a reminder, I previously offered to pay $50 for a Pure Stock driver on that night who has not previously raced this year at SOS. My hope would be that since it will not cost the driver anything, the driver will turn around and donate most or all of his/her purse back to Jim & Laurie / SOS (hopefully at least the $50). If you plan to run in Pure Stock on Oct. 31st, have not visited SOS this year and will be there on Oct 31st for the event, send me a PM. It will go to the first driver that I get the PM from who is going to run and has not been there yet this year. Thx and stay tuned for the list of items that Brenda will post where help is needed. Many hands will make light work! -Monty Chamberlain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj27 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi! Here is a quick list of things we need right now: ~The MAIN thing needed ASAP is donations!!!! I have the letters to take to businesses and the donation forms. PM me and I will email them to you to take to businesses in your area that might donate. ~I am going to need people to help decorate the track for Halloween. (if you can donate some decorations or even help brainstorm on how to decorate, that would be great) ~Need some input on BBQ ~Basically, right now we just need people willing to help. This is going to be big and the more people involved will help things run more smoothly. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farm01 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 My family and I would like to donate some food for the BBQ. We just need to know what is being served, when and where would we need to drop it off. I am planning on racing that night so can't help with the cooking. I would also donate some decorations.

coastal Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Who is doing the cooking??? Will it be for the people in the pits or everyone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj27 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I can honestly say that I have no clue who is cooking. I haven't gotten any volunteers on that and you really don't want me to bbq...lol. If anyone can/will cook, please contact me. Also, I need to know...what everyone wants in regards to bbq. OR...does everyone just want to go on with the plans we already have and just skip the bbq part? just let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texana55 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think we wrapped up the flyer. Got it to Laurie and Brian and I believe Laurie will be getting it copied and out and about. I believe Brian will be posting it on LSSZ so folks can pull it down and make copies and hand out as they please. I'll post it on other racing forums.

rebelracewriter Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Since I'm basically a "non-profit" writer(put the FREE in freelance) the best I can do is give the race itself some good coverage. If everything goes according to plans, I'll be down there to do a story for y'all. If I can get an internet connection I can do "Live" updates. Since I haven't been to SOS in about 8-10 years is there space in the tower? Hotel/motel info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer52 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 How is this going to go?

Do you need stuff for the BBQ, stuff for a raffle / auction (not sure if there is raffle or auction), decorations donated, monetary donations or donations to a purse increase. We'll make a donation from our business. Just give me some guidelines on what you're hoping to acquire. Also, to all.... my offer to pay $50 towards the entry for a first time Pure Stocker is still on the table... and, hoping you'll donate at least the $50 back.... Come and get it!
