"1st-Ever Official DQ Day for VR.org"

[Blackjack]

OK, this is pretty much a no-brainer. Since Dairy Queen seems to be the "Official Pitstop" for just about everyone on this Forum, I hereby suggest that we proclaim next Thursday, August 5th, 2010, as the "1st-Ever Official DQ Day for VR.org".

 

Now, why would I suggest such a thing? It's simple, really. DQ is donating at least one dollar for every Blizzard purchased on August 5th to the Children's Miracle Network. We all like children; we all like DQ; and we all like Blizzards. Feed your face and help the children all at the same time. What could be better?

Thank You!

The DQ here in little bitty Madison, SD has been the largest seller of Blizzards for this event for the last two or three years now. We all pitch in and "suffer" through to help with this worthy cause. I will be there!!!!

[slick97spirit]

[920shrek1]

Awesume I will do my part... Thinks I will go and check out some favorit flavor's today

[Monty]

Oreo Blizzard for me!!

We're in! Anyone want to meet at DQ on Columbia Ave (Rte 462) just east of Columbia, PA at say, 7:00 pm?

[Skid]

Works for me too. If any member wants to join me at the DQ, I'm buying next Thursday at 7:00 p.m.. I figured what money I'll save in gas by living beside a DQ, I'll be able to make that offer!

We should designate a few key spots....in each state or province...such as Kingston or Ottawa for those in Eastern Ontario to meet up.

 

Maybe London for Western Ontario ....etc etc

 

The states can have one or two in each state....most are only an hour or two ride apart anyway!

if we can have a crowd of VR.org members there we can take pictures of the meet and the highest number wins!

 

And No....you can't be by yourself holding a sign with 1,000,000,000 on it!

[Blackjack]

I really like the idea of folks getting together at their local DQs, wherever possible. That way we can have multiple M&Es all over North America on the same day, sharing the same goodies (Blizzards!), and supporting a truly worthy cause. What an awesome group this is!

 

Be sure to take a picture and post it here after your get-together!

 

By the way, I encourage you to take a few minutes to look at some of the videos on the web page I posted (http://www.miracletreatday.com/). They are incredibly inspiring...

 

Excuse me, but I have to head out now for a practice round!

OK. If I have to eat a blizzard then I will. Just don't twist my arm too hard.

[Trader]

I started a new thread just for locations of the DQ M&E.

you can reply to that thread to post your local M&E

 

Not sure if that is considered HiJacking the thread...but Ifigured it would be best to have one tread to look for local locations only...rather than digging for locations between comments

I don't consider that a hijacking, at all! We are all working towards the same purpose, which is to have a great turnout by Forum Members on the same day, all in support of the same two causes: one, to feed your face and, two, to help support the Children's Miracle Network (not necessarily listed in order of importance!).

 

Thanks, Trader, for stepping in and stepping up!

Aw Man, I'm on.....I mean I just started......er actually, I am supposed to be on a diet

Oh, what the h***, I'll put it off another week.

[halfwitt]

My brother rides one of those German bikes. I've challenged him to get his group together for this too. Is anyone putting anything together in Greensboro, NC? I can see if he can merge with you guys if you are (assuming that Yamaha's will outnumber the Bimmers).

OK. I'm personally ready for the big day. I finally got around to having a "practice" round this afternoon. Mmmnn, mmmnn, it was dandy fine: a cold and creamy treat in the middle of another Hot'lanta scorcher.

 

Thursday's coming up fast, so don't forget to make your plans to participate!

[Blackjack]

It won't be long now. Blizzards Around the World. I like it...

 

I hope you'll join us at a DQ somewhere near you. After all, there are over 5700 locations worldwide!

[Blackjack]

Today's the Day!

 

Be sure to enjoy at least one Blizzard today at your local DQ and support the Children's Miracle Network with every delicious sip.

 

I look forward to hearing about get-togethers around the country later today. Take pics and post them, please!

[halfwitt]

Heading out shortly. We're hoping the rain holds off until we get back home!

 

Enjoy everyone!

[Trader]

Well. WE were there!

 

...even though the Children's Miracle Netwok day in Canada it is on the 12th....I figured I needed the practice so we were at the Kingson DQ at 7:00 as originally planned...all by ouselves!

 

I'm sure that the fact it was the wrong date, accompanied by thunder-storms with sideways rain and what seemed like gale force winds had nothing to do with it!

 

Oh well, we got a chance to try out our new rain suits anyway !
