From Robin Foote:

Dear CTZCC Members,

I wanted to make sure that all members, including those who did not make Saturday's excellent club show, were made aware of the upcoming ColinsLaw.Org Road Rally Bebefit Event on October 3 in the Newport, RI area. While there is a requested tax-deductible donation of $100 for Car & Driver, there is a 50% to 80% chance that every Driver entered will win a Sponsor Gift Card of $50 to $350+ value. We have nearly $2,000 in Sponsor gifts that will be drawn at random at the Catered Buffet starting at 3:30 PM. These gifts include $50 dinner at any of 10 excellent area restaurants, jewelry from Alex and Ani, free Newport hotel stays and much more. There's also a separate $100 Cash Gift Card drawing and don't forget the $300 winning Poker Hand. All in all, there is little risk for big rewards in addition to the great rally stops scheduled and the delicious afternoon Buffet.
Please go online to: http://www.colinslaw.org to get a peek of how much fun this event will be and for a truly great cause for highway safety in memory of one of the clubs most passionate members - Colin Foote. I hope to see as many of our CTZCC Club member brothers and sisters as possible join in. And don't forget you must pre-register by September 15 to save 10% on the registration cost. Last day to register at full donation price is September 28 - the caterer needs a head count. We have nearly 20 cars already signed up and we expect another 20 to register by the 28th. Thank you so very much. Robin Foote. Please call me at any time at 401-741-1678

I am extremely disappointed to communicate that this event has been cancelled. The weather on both the event date and rain date is forecast to be heavily overcast and rainy.

The board discussed other potential dates, but it just didn't work with the caterer, volunteers, venues for the Poker Run and other logistics.

Pasted below is a message from Robin Foote to those that had registered:

Dear ColinsLaw.Org Registered Participant,

It is with great disappointment that I announce to you that the Board of Trustees has unanimously decided to CANCEL the OCTOBER 3 ROAD RALLY/POKER RUN/CATERED BUFFET BENEFIT EVENT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. The weather forecast is calling for extremely heavy rains starting later this week right through Sunday, October 4 (our Rain Date).

I know you share our extreme disappointment as we had such a wonderful event scheduled and ready for either day. We fully expect that our nearly 30 sponsors will maintain their support for our event now re-scheduled for next year 2016 on October 1 - Saturday - with a rain date of Sunday, October 2.

As a participant driver, passenger or individual, we will be sending out to you a check in the amount of your donation whether you pre-paid by Check, PayPal or Credit Card. In this way we will know for sure that your full donation amount was returned to you. In this regard, I would greatly appreciate it If you would kindly send me your proper mailing address so that we may get checks out to you by no later than next Tuesday, October 6.

I hope you will mark your calendar for next year to join us for our 2016 ColinsLaw.Org Classic & Sports Car Road Rally Extravaganza which is guaranteed to be as wonderful, if not even better than what was planned for this year.

Thank you once again for your incredible support of our organization and its mission to "Save Lives Through Safer Roads". We expect that there may be some new legislation upcoming this legislative session regarding an expansion of red light safety camera technology to more than just Charlestown, RI where the 2 intersection cameras recorded over 500 "incursions" this past July alone. We will keep you appraised of this and seek your support because we know this technology changes driver behavior and saves lives.

Thank you,

Robin Foote
Exec. Dir.

Well, it was defiantly a great disappointment for all involved and those of us hoping to participate.

I'm hoping that the fact that Ross has more publically announced the Plan B rescheduled date, that effectively places him in charge of new dates' weather. If so, his reputation for great weather coordination with events will continue ensure no issues next year. Speaking of his reputation for such abilities, one has to wonder if that is merely a perk/added benefit of working for a religious organization.?!
