MilitaryPerformance.com Third Annual Support the Troops Meet
Date: Saturday, November 14, 2009
Time: 3pm-7pm
Location:  2401 Hawkins Point Rd Curtis Bay, MD 21226

ALL MAKES & MODELS WELCOME!!

This meet is open to all cars, trucks, bikes, etc and is brought to you by www.MilitaryPerformance.com. We are going to be taking donations and making care packages that will be given directly to the USO for the troops overseas. We'll take anything from toothpaste, deodorant, and other toiletries to car magazines, pre-paid calling cards, DVD’s, duct tape, and monetary donations to be used to buy supplies. Even if you can just donate $1, anything is better than nothing. Another great idea is to hand-write a letter to just say thanks. The troops love to receive things that remind of them of home.

We’ll also be collecting baby items for Nate’s Pantry, a charity at the Coast Guard Yard.

Feel free to spread the word around to other forums. Last year we had about 200 cars attend.

**We have permission to use this lot, so please act sensibly. No burnouts, alcohol, etc.

That sucks I won't be able to make it.

Unfortunately not.  We already pushed it back twice due to other conflicts and it took a while to get this parking lot approved.  Sorry man.

I was kidding. I know something that big of a plan can't be adjusted. Good luck with the donations, those men and women need them!

Who all made it? Wish I could have gone but it was Navy football's senior game.

Thanks to everyone that came out! We only had 82 cars, unfortunately probably because of the weather, but definitely a nice mix of cars. My Honda Fit was full of donated items and we also raised $520. I will have pictures up tonight hopefully.

Glad things went well!  Too bad we were swimming in the streets here in Hampton Roads.

Hope a happy couple enjoys the Pleasure Pack =P
