2nd Annual Go Topless Day - May 9th, 2009

Just putting the date out there now so it doesn't interfere with any other good stuff going on in the area.

Like last year, we'll have 1000s of Jeepers participating worldwide but this year, it will have MORE! More prizes, more freebies, more Jeeps, etc.

Locally, we'll use the same venue as last year - a big old parking lot outside a farm stand in Lancaster, MA. More details to follow and if you ask him nice, maybe Scott Hatch will saw the top off a Hummer this year.

Just to recap the topless XJ last year...

Norm has reached out to us for some help in pulling this event off. We need about 12 volunteers to assist that day, mostly with parking. That will allow people to work in shifts and not have to miss the whole event.
With everything ATJ does for the NEA, and 25 full member clubs, and 2 provisional it should be no problem to get 12 people to give up an hour or 2 for an event they will already be at anyway.
If your interested post up here.

It's pretty far away, but I should be able to help. I also posted this on NEJZ.

ps Can we set up a club booth?

It would be great if you wanted to set up a booth. In fact, any club that wants to is welcome to set up a table. If you email me and let me know that you will be doing that, I will add the club name / URL to our growing list of participants.

Still looking for some volunteers for this. Anyone who is planning on going, we only need you for a couple hours. Primarily to help with parking. The idea is to get 12 people to work 2 hour shifts and spread the work around so we a handful of people don't have to sacrifice their whole day and can enjoy the event too.

The details are that the more Go Topless Day tees / sweats we sell, and the more people buy raffle tickets for all the cool raffles, the more money we will donate to NE4WD. It isn't a money maker for us. More about the fun. But we hope to hand over the profits

If you want to print out copies of this flyer to post everywhere you go, and share with your clubs, here it is. (We'd appreciate it.)

I have an appointment at the location tomorrow with the property manager. We're deciding placement and stuff for an all-out obstacle course. I'm hoping to have something for everyone on the course, from stockers to those that want to crush a car.

We'll have at least one RTI ramp.

The food is going to be AWESOME! Even if you have a toyota, come for the food!!

If anyone has a list of e-mails for volunteers already, please send them my way. We need parking volunteers now. I need to know how many we have ASAP and a way to communicate with them before the event. A couple of clubs are getting pretty involved, but nothing beats a solid list of volunteers.

Mike I'm working on collecting email addresses from the volunteers who have already told me they are interested in helping.
Hope to have them by the end of the day.

Thanks a ton, Jay. Do they have assingments or preferences?

(And Bic & I are working on your MaBell Report for Friday delivery)

I'm headed over to the farm with the manager tonight to get a looksie at the lay of the land. The manager is so excited and it's contagious.

Jeremy, a few of us are meeting at 2 pm at the farm. I've been unable to get in touch with owner who expects us at 8 a.m. this morning. I call, and call, and call... No voice mail, page only. AAARGH!!

Anyway, dude, bring it at 2 or whenever today.

Call this # and ask for mrfreakiwhite
978- eight-three-three ninteen53 after 2 pm.

I'll keep your shirt clean until tomorrow, though. :)

Awesome time today. I had no idea I was going to get to wheel. :woohoo: The obstacle course was a lot of fun. Got to take the owner for a spin before we left today and he seemed to have a blast too.

ATJ-job well done!
