Ok so we would like to do a car wash next weekend on July 17th. I would like to do two locations if we can. So we will need two pressure washers, hoses, washing materials. I also need volenteers. So if you can help or provide anything for this car wash please post on here. As details become available, places, times etc. I will post them. I will go out on payday and purchase poster board and make several car wash signs. If we need gas for the pressure washers I will also purchase this. Any Ideas that will help with this car was let me know. Any money we don't use for the pardade will go to the lions club account.:smilechicken:

Love your enthusiasm...however, this is why we have a fund raiser commitee!
1. I have to check on our "wash spots" to see if they are avaliable (monday)
2. Matt and I have volunteered our pressure washers to the cause until the club purchases its own.
3. I have the "advertizing material" to include poster, markers, and wood.
4. I also have some mitts, brushes, and chamois.
Items we need:
1. Volunteers who WILL be there.
2. Leaf blowers to dry the vehicles.
3. Billy Wonka's box o' goodies.
4. Refreshments station(insert bake sale here with hot dogs and sodas).
So Lions we are tasked again... though, we will shine out and exceed the standards like we always do as long as we work together!
Please post up if you can work or donate to the cause!
Thanks in advance,

We will contribute to the bake sale.....we have SOME sodas left from the Speghetti dinner also.
leaf blower didn't work well at all, at least the one Rich was using....lol
Should be able to make it.......hopefully a nice HOT day.
The towels that the Loompa's had with them worked the best for drying....don't know how much they cost or where they got them but....
AND if anyone has any go-go gadget legs that we can borrow, that would really help out with the big vehicles that will come thru...lol.....GOOD TIMES!!

Leaf blowers were a miss eh... didn't notice... I was having too much fun with the pressure washer! No worries.
those were walmart sham WoWs we'll get another pack.

Does anyone have a roll of brown packing or even whiteish paper that we can use for a banner for the car wash?
Oompa Loompa
07-12-2010, 09:49 AM
I can ask Drafting if they have any old, outdated or otherwise un-useable papers...
Tacy, you know, your wife!
Might suggest some Tempra paint for the signs too. Nice large letters applied with the sponge brush work fabulous!
Then keep it w/ Fundraising committee so we can have it readily available for the next $$ event.

nothing back from the granger people. Recon Rob had an idea of having an internal Lions "dinner & a movie night" and we all give a donation and bring a potluck. possibility??? anyone have a place big enough? we could watch "into the wild" a popular movie about a kid living in a bus or something.:yikes:

should we get your own glittery decorations for the float?
