Fall is Here!

Today marks the first day of Fall for 2009.  It has been a fantastic summer for the MINI Club of Calgary, and we hope all our members have enjoyed the events put on by the club.  This club is volunteer run, and as such it is what we make of it, and we have done a bunch.  The Drumheller run was again a great success, with many different sights to see, with a ride on a ferry and everything!

YWCA - 2009 Walk-a-Mile Campaign

4 members of the MINI Club of Calgary participated in the YWCA's Walk-a-Mile in Her Shoes fundraiser.  It was a huge success, as we raised $5,783 towards helping those who suffer with domestic violence.  A special thanks to all those who donated to support the cause.  There is still time to donate if you like at www.walkamile.ca.

50th Anniversary

As you are aware, the club recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of MINI, with 92 participants creating the MINI emblem, with aerial photos for sale in support of the club's charity - the YWCA.  On Friday, Sept 25, the club will be presenting the YWCA with a cheque for $1100.  Thanks again goes out to all those who purchased photos for this great charity.

October Club Meeting - Oct 14, 2009.

The next club meeting will be Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009.  We are trying to find a quieter location for it, as we need to determine what runs and events we will be having in 2010.  This is so we can put them in the 2010 Calendar.  Also, please remember to submit your pictures for the calendar.  The calendars are fantastic, and one of the clubs major fund raisers for the year.

The Great Pumpkin Run 2009

Once again, we will be hosting a run to Innisfail to visit the Jungle Farm.  Stay tuned for more info.  There are lots of activities there, and great fun for all.

Hello Everyone

This year the MINI Club of Calgary, is trying to show that we may drive small cars, however we have large hearts.

In an endeavor to give back to the community four members of the club are participating in the YWCA's "Walk A Mile in Her Shoes", whereby the funds raised will benefit the Sheriff King Home (The emergency shelter for women and children who are fleeing from domestic violence).

The event takes place on Monday Sept. 21 at noon at Olympic Plaza, and our team is called "MINI Guys, Taking MINI Steps".  As the event is to raise funds it is also to generate awareness of this serious issue, and therefore the all male teams will be doing the walk in "High Heels".

We would truly appreciate your financial support in the way of a donation to our team, as the top five teams will be specially recognized at the event.  We are currently in sixth position.

To donate, please go to www.walkamile.ca

Then click on "Calgary" at the bottom left corner, you will be directed to the home page where there is a tab callled "Walkers" under this heading is a sub heading "Support a Walker", enter "MINI Guys, Taking MINI Steps" and this will direct you to our team website.  From here you can choose one of the four names and place your donation.  A tax receipt will be issued to all donations over $20.
