Penny Drive for RIDERDOWN.ORG

[Macho393]

Ok guys and gal we now have a new mission for helping others. I was thinking what little thing can we do to help these guys out. Then I thought of what my kids did years ago. A penny drive. The drove against each class to see how many pennies they could collect. For 1 month. The collected I think over 3000 dollars in pennies.
So here is the deal I think we as the group "ATM" should do a 1 year penny drive and collect all the pennies at the GMB event. Then donate the money to Riderdown.org in the memory of Remembering those who rode. This will be on the side of doing what we do for the Garrett Berg Memorial. But Hopefully somebody(Char) will be the offical penny taker upper at the GMB. Let me know what ya'll as a group thinks.

I'm in!!! We'll find a big bucket for our pennies now!

I think it's a very cool idea.

[char393]

Um...I caught that after I replied...LOL


Yeah...I'll be the official penny taker upper. We do a twice yearly thing and collect whatever people have saved so far who'll attend the planning meeting?

[char393]

Ok then peoples....start saving up you pennies!!!!

[DRGSin393]

Great idea! i think I have about a G worth of pennies on the floor of my truck!! And a bunch of McDonald's french fries but thats another story. We'll think about the hungry later.


J/K dont start sending me hate mail!

[char393]

I guess you could be the official french fry taker upper to feed the ducks?

[Imahoot393]

We already have 1/2 a champagne bucket full! Great idea. They did this at our middle school and raised tons of $$.

[jaswhitt393]

This sounds cool...I'm In!

For those who might not make GMB how about just cashing in the pennies at the local bank and sending a check or money order. IM hopeing to make the next one but not certian. Ill be saving my pennies time to clean out the truck.

Just remember, banks won't take them unless they are already rolled. We might want to think about rolling as we go. If we wait until next year that will be one HUGE task.
