Sorry for posting this so late but I just found this forum.
This event is August 20th and is the 2nd annual. It involves a poker run from Victoria to Mt Washington. 7 checkpoints along the way where you will receive a playing card. Once we reach the final destination all cards are handed in and top 3 hands win cash prizes. At Mt Washington there is a silent raffle and car show. We also have a banquet dinner with prizes being awarded. Raffle items are just great and include 5 trips to any hotel resort in the Americas for a week, 1 trip to Calgary to attend Allen Berg F1 racing school, Golf packages, Tigh-Na-Mara packages, and many, many other things. Checkpoints will have BBQ's and participation freebies for participants. CheckPoints: 1) Campus Honda - Victoria 2) Discovery Honda - Duncan 3) Nanaimo Honda - Nanaimo 4) Tigh-Na-Mara resort and spa 5) Arrowsmith Golf and Country Club 6) Island Honda - Courtenay 7) Mt Washington resort - Comox So far 79 people and 50 cars have registered. Please PM me for more details on how to register. Here is a link to the information on the S2Ki forum where I am a CO and moderator: ** Vancouver Island Poker Run 2011 ** - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums Open to all Japanese Imports, come have a great cruise and enjoy a wonderful dinner and event, and win some cash/prizes, and best of all help send disabled children to camp.

One day left to register or to confirm your registration for this event. If you have confirmed already and haven't purchased your participation envelope, please do so. I have an extension until Monday to have the numbers up to the caterers.

OK well ONE WEEK LEFT till the 2011 Poker Run.
Paricipation has dropped off as it did last year, which is a bit disappointing, but based on the fact that this event has only been advertised on the local forums I am still pleased with the turnout as it is better than last year, and last year we not only had a blast but managed to raise enough to send two disabled kids to summer camp. That is what it is all about. Registration officially ends today! However if you missed it and really want to attend, I can still sign up a few people. I got an extension to have the numbers into the caterers till Monday so I can accept registrations up until then. I can probably sign people up until the day of the event but not in huge numbers, but please if you missed registration and can still make this event PM me or email me and I will do my best to get you on the list. If you want to come up and join us at Mt Washington you have two options: 1) You can pay $50.00 which would entitle you to a dinner as well, and that includes a $20.00 donation to Camp Shawnigan. 2) You can pop up to the Mountain with us and offer up a donation. Either way we would be happy to have you. If you want to donate just ask for me (Dave Donovan), or my brother (Al) or my wife (Ellen). We will gladly accept your donation. See the list of participants below. If your name is on the list in BLACK, that means you expressed interest in attending but I have been unable to contact you to confirm your attendance. If anyone can get into contact with these people please do and forward them onto me. If your name is in light green, then you have confirmed that you are attending but just have not paid as of yet (Please contact me to arrange for payment as there is only ONE week left), and if your name is in dark green, well your all paid up and ready to go. I will be handing out participation envelopes which will contain some freebies and your maps and you car number. I will have these at the Friday night meet (19th), as well I will have them Saturday morning. Come see me. Please arrive at the Starting Point no later than 9:30 to check in. You can then head just up the street for gas (Chevron about 3 minutes away), then come back for the start. Big thanks to those that have committed to this event..., I appreciate you time and your generosity. I look forward to seeing you all again and the new faces.

OK the final numbers are in and all outgoing cheques have been cashed and all gifts awarded and received.
I will be providing a cheque to the Lions Society & Easter Seals Services, the group responsible for running Camp Shawnigan. The total amount raised for Camp Shawnigan was an awesome $4,000.00. We were $200.00 short of making the 4K mark and at the last minute Mark K from the island S2000 owners group picked up the slack and donated an extra $200.00..., THANKS MIKE AND FAMILY !!! http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/sty...t/thumbsup.gif That is truly great! It is $1,200.00 more than we raised and donated last year and will allow an additional two kids to camp this upcoming season. I want to thank all of those that participated in this year’s event. I think all had a very good time and were pleased with the way things went. I also want to thank all the sponsors who really stepped up and donated a lot of great stuff to the cause. I am pretty sure almost everyone went home with something. I also want to thank the checkpoints that volunteered to help us out. They supplied volunteers to do the cards, some provided us with raffle items and give away gifts and some others supplied cash donations. It is all greatly appreciated. Lastly I want to thank Mt Washington for once again providing us with an excellent venue and meal. They as well threw in a small cash donation and as always were very pleasant and easy to deal with. For those of you interested in the breakdown: Total Amount Raised: $6,150.00 Food: $1500.00 Facilities and Staff: $500.00 Extras: $150.00 - includes cards, tickets ect., gas for volunteers and meals for volunteers (2), paper for maps..., Donation: $4,000.00 I will be handing over the cheque this upcoming Friday October 28th. Anyone that wishes to come with me to donate the cheque is welcome to come along. I want to get a photograph to post up on the forums of us making the donation. The planning for this event takes about 4 - 5 months to complete. That is when I do it all myself. Next year I plan to open the event up to all Imports. I really want to make this a big, well known event and really help out the kids at the same time. To achieve my goals I am definitely going to require some assistance. The areas that need people will be for getting participation and registration, someone working on sponsorship including raffle items. I am more than willing to do either one of those but would like help with the other. Look forward to hearing back from me again in the February time frame to start the planning phase all over again including the first part, getting a date. See you all in 2012 I hope. Have a safe and wonderful Winter..., see you in the spring! And help me get the word out!
