Annual North East MINI Meet
Many months from now, the weather will be warm and more than 200 MINIs will ascend Mount Washington as part of the sixth annual MINIsOnTop event (this year, June 28th). But right now, the weather “on top” is rather colder and windier!
The Mount Washington Observatory has a number of webcams which right now are showing beautiful clear sky views – I captured these views, from the observatory deck, and looking north to the Presidential Range:
This years MINIsOnTop again was supported by Herb Chambers MINI of Boston with a two year MINI Cooper lease – won by Meg & Jeff; they collected the car a few weeks ago, and now they’ve given it a unique license plate:
Thanks, Meg & Jeff, for sending the pics – and thanks Kerry & Herb Chambers MINI for providing the MINI!
A round of deliveries today, by MINIsOnTop “yellow hats” Michael, Ivan, Richard and me … first stop was MINI of Peabody to again thank them for their support, and to present copies of three letters sent to us by Make-A-Wish, describing the three wishes we helped create for children-in-need with the more than $16,000 we raised during MOT2006:
Next stop was Herb Chambers MINI in Boston; coincidentally we arrived during the delivery of the two-year-lease MINI Cooper won by Meg & Jeff at MOT2007!
We then headed upstairs and found extremely busy Kerry, delaying her just long enough for Michael to present another set of Make-A-Wish letters:
Last delivery of the day was to Rosie’s Place, the MOT2007 charity, where we were met by Ruthie (who also took us on an interesting & informative tour of their location) – we presented the check for $14,993 raised during MOT2007 (this is in addition to $1,500 already presented, from checks collected by MINIsOnTop and written out direct to Rosie’s Place):
I’d like once again to thank everyone involved with MINIsOnTop, as organizer, sponsor or attendee, for helping to bring happiness to children in need.
