This weekend is the Coopers For Caregivers drive around the north shore – we have 18 MINIs attending.
The purpose of the drive (apart from meeting other MINI owners and having fun) is to draw attention to caregivers and caregiver support. The drive will deliver a “thank you” gift basket to a selected caregiver in each of the 9 towns of Cape Ann.
Yesterday I bought some “MINI sized” gift baskets, small enough to fit in the trunk of a MINI. I had the idea of putting a model MINI in each basket as a delivery memento for the caregiver. Today I visited the local Auto Fanatics here in Essex, because I needed some wheel cleaner. I mentioned the event and asked if they had any inexpensive models.
Unfortunately the lowest priced model at short notice was $20+ but they were prepared to significantly reduce the price to support the event – so I purchased 9 models:
Thank you to Auto Fanatics – check them out if you need model cars or car care stuff.
Thanks also to MINI USA who are supporting the event with a “MINI back pack” donation for each of the attending MINIs:
