Many of the staff at MINI of Peabody, as well as helping run the event on Sunday, took photos – and they have now been put up on the dealership website. A couple examples here – GBMINI getting his first poker card (from MoP Service Manager Garys son Josh), and MoP General Sales Manager Paul checking GBMINIs winning poker hand:

Something I forgot to mention yesterday in the Spring Rally / Poker Run write-up … in addition to providing excellent fun & food for us, MINI of Peabody also raised $600 for the Jimmy Fund by collecting a minimum $20 donation and giving a Motoring Hearts grille badge as a thank you …
We also raised $600 for the Massachusetts Make-A-Wish foundation by selling more $25 MINIsOnTop raffle tickets, with help from Mary of Make-A-Wish; the MINI of Peabody donated JCW upgrade is most popular, having sold almost half the available tickets already – but the Herb Chambers MINI of Boston donated two year MINI Cooper lease is of more interest to people that don’t yet own a MINI …
Todays MINI of Peabody Spring Rally went well and escaped with minimal poor weather – although the threat apparently kept 1/3 of the sign-ups away! The rest of us had great fun though. The route took MINIs north through Topsfield then east through Ipswich and out to the Atlantic coast, and back, collecting playing cards on the way (click here for the route out and the route back). Unfortunately with no navigator, and being the lead MINI for much of the drive, I only took a few “on route” pictures …
Back at MINI of Peabody, new Sales Manager Paul Taylor greeted returning MINIs and handed out the final playing card to each one; there was also food (with a long but fast moving queue, and excellent catering)
Many thanks from me to everyone at MINI of Peabody that put this event on – almost all their staff were in and helping the event run smoothly (which it did), and well done Paul for putting together such a great “welcome” event from you to the MINI community 🙂
