Pelican Parts Open House / Casino Night - Down Syndrome Fund Raiser - November 2nd!!!

[Wayne 962]

It is with great enthusiasm that I am happy to announce that Pelican Parts will be hosting the 7th annual fund raising benefit for DSRTF at our location on the evening of November 2nd. DSRTF is the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation - a charity that is focused on finding scientific and medical breakthroughs that reverse some of the negative effects of this genetic syndrome. As many of you know, our seven-year old daughter Holly has Down Syndrome, so this particular cause is very dear to us.

The date of the event is Saturday, November 2nd, from 5:30PM - 10:30PM. We're opening up Pelican Parts' racecar showroom for a rare and exclusive peek behind the scenes of some of the greatest Porsche racecars of all time. There will be food, drinks, and a silent auction with a whole lot of interesting items (several vacations are part of the lot). Best of all, it's Casino Night. We'll have some great prizes and accolades for the big winners of the night. So, I guarantee it will be fun, or I'll wash your car!

Please come and stop by if only for a short while, it's a great cause that is very dear to our hearts.

This deserves a bump. If I lived in the area I'd be by in a heartbeat, as it sounds like a great time for a great cause.

The Down Syndrome Treatment and Research Foundation is a great organization. I worked with many kids with Down's Syndrome when I ran a special needs clinic at the USC School of Dentistry. I enjoyed helping these patients so much MORE than those in the general patient population.

Unfortunately that is my Reserve Weekend and I will be unable to attend, but I have a Challenge for all Pelicans . . .

We ALL have benefited from the knowledge from this forum. Wayne provides this service free of charge (No registration fee). So when you reinstall an Air Conditioning in a 1975S and save at least $3, 000 by not taking it to a shop (as in my case). You should give back. The Administrators should set up a PayPal account to Wayne's charity, the DSRTF, so whenever we benefit/save from using this Forum we give something $5, $10, $20 WHATEVER to a GREAT organization that helps some really beautiful people.

We can have a competition between the various forums, 911s vs. 944s vs. 928s vs. 968s etc etc. . . Heck, whenever someone gets banned at PARF they should pay a $5 "fine" when they return from Banned Island. We can see at the end of the year which forum "Wins."

I bet with a $5 donation here and there we can all raise a lot of money to help people who are so full of love.

I'll start it out- this summer with the help of Pelican Parts I
1) Reinstalled my 911s A/C.
2) Replaced a fuel pump

So I'm donating $100. Where do I mail the check Wayne?

Can this be made into a sticky?

Hi all. Our event is next weekend (Saturday, November 2nd), and my wife pointed out that I neglected to mention how to purchase tickets in advance. Since this is going to be a casino event with food and drink, it would be greatly appreciated if you're planning on coming (and we hope you are, as it's going to be great fun), that you buy tickets in advance. That way, we can plan ahead and make sure that we have enough tables and food for everyone. You can still buy tickets at the door, but it will make our job more difficult from a planning perspective.

Here's the link where you can register and buy tickets:

I've enclosed a photo of Holly, and a photo of the event venue in case you haven't seen it yet!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wayne, Nori, and HOLLY!
