Exclamation NOV 15th SO-CAL MB Meet, C-Class W203 attendance

ok, previous SAPRISSA MB Meets have drawn out 115 (Encinitas), 130 (Rose Bowl), 150 (Irvine) Mercedes-Benz cars... do you think we can do better ?
I think so !!!!

actually, two questions:

- would you attend ?

- would you help organize and execute the event ?


looking at a Nov 15th date for a mega SAPRISSA Mercedes-Benz only meet !
(AMG, Maybach, smart, UNIMOG)
would be in a SoCal location (LA or Orange County).
Need over 250+ Mercedes-Benz to show up !

are you game ???? start the hype... tell your MB friends !

if enough interest... then obviously more details to follow.
The more people help, the more events can happen (track events, raffle, food, entertainment, sponsors, demos, etc...)
HELP is needed ! no flakes !

not enough room in Encinitas.
This will most likely be near the OC/LA county line.

I'm sure there will be caravans forming down south in San Diego traveling up through Irvine and to the ultimate meet destination.

Looks like its going to be a big event...

question regarding vendors such as DJ's, photographers, videographers, etc. is there going to be any money involved or is it basically just a hook up at this point??

well, we have experimented in the past with charging people a nominal fee (say $5 per car) or something like that, and it basically scares away 80% of those who would normally show up for FREE.
So we rely on donations and services from vendors and professionals.
If we tie this to a charity event, then people can make donations or bring unwrapped toys or something of the sort.
I'm not in this at all to make money out of MB Meets. I do it purely and solely for the sheer pleasure of bringing the Mercedes-Benz community together for a day of fun.

So, yes, basically, it's just a hook-up. If you wish to donate $$$ in order to hire professional services (DJ, photography, etc...) then I can set up a PayPal fund to hold such funds exactly for that venture. Again, I in no way am I trying to make a profit out of this.

Your help, volunteer time, or special relationship with a service provider in order to make something happen for this MB Meet would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks Jon... let's wait on the cross-posts until we get a definite fixed site.

Right now we are in the planning stage, and while NOV 15th looks like a sure thing, we still need a few more details to iron out.
I'll have a flyer made and posted on every single MB website.

So for now, just spread the hype, but more importantly, solicit help and volunteers to get sponsors, donations, and more MB involvement.

Thanks again !
Carlos

Vic can come...
he just has to drive someone else's MB.
There's plenty of people with more than one MB who need a designated driver.

oh wait... that rules out Vic again !! damn
