Feb 21rst, 2009 Shoe Run!
OK gang..
Its time for us to send a message to our wounded soldiers at Walter Reed, and that message is "We thank and support you!"
Our brothers over at g35driver are setting up with the folks a Walter Reed, the ability for us and Nissan/Infiniti/ (all other makes welcome) enthusiasts to drop off running shoes to they guys there.
Apparently there is a large need, for sneakers in mens sizes 9-11.5. If anyone wants to donate some new running shoes we can drop them off on the 21st.
I figure a pair of Asics is $50 ~ $60.. and we all prolly spend that going out 1 night for dinner and drinks.. so.. maybe we can give up 1 night of fun for these guys.
Unfortunately there looks to be some obstacles, to seeing and visiting with these heroes.. so many of the guys will only be able to hear us( the cars ) visit.
There is still allot to work out, and I'll post more details here as they evolve.
Yes .. I FULLY realize this is on the same day as the AAM meet, and yes, it was planned that way, on purpose.

21 Feb 2009 @ 1030am = Meet at Gina Driver's (G35driver) apartment complex (16th and Eastwest Highway) - exact address TBD
1130am = drive to Walter Reed = We are on someone elses schedule (he is coming in on his day off) so we need to stick to the times posted.
1200pm = drop off NEW SHOES to volunteer coordinator Maurice
1230ish = drive to wounded warrior dorms and see if they want to look at the cars. Maurice will be letting them know that we are coming so we need to show up in force.
afterwards see where we can eat.
This will happen Rain or Shine since it has now been put on the calander of the hospital's donation office.
They will accept NEW SHOES and socks. Any used items donated will be taken to Paul's Place Soup Kitchen in Baltimore.

56K can choke on these ... LOTS of images ahead!
We were able to donate 37 pairs of shoes, and countless packages of athletic socks!
Really looking forward to doing this again!
