Westpac Rescue Helicopter Fundraiser!

**Maha** · 19th May 2008, 15:27

I have had to answer some questions about this event (as in, the areas we are covering) and it seems that how this is all going to work doesn't really gel with some, until I explain in detail then it becomes clear.
The main qestion put to me is...''is the money collected form each area (Auckland Loop only) going to the area its collected from''?
Answer... No, all money collected (from the areas we visit) will be going to the Westpac Helicopter in Auckland.
If there is any concerns about this event that you may have just ask me.

Listen very carefully grasshopper.....
First quote: was reffering to all collections Nationwide....answer is NO
Second quote:... (the more recent of the two) needs no expaining...answer is YES.
All money that the Auckland '10' collect WILL be given to the Auckland Helicopter.

I had a plan right from day one and to now have all but Southland getting into this, its amazing. All other region's are doing something for their Resuce Helicopter and what they have acheived so far is outstanding. We just need to finalise the media coverage now and watch out for the July issue of Motorcycle Trader!!!...Kiwi Rider hasn't (at this stage) returned our email.

I need some help!

Rashika has produced the most amazing flyer for this ride! Maha man compares it as a fine art graduate to a kindy finger painting, mine being the finger painting!

I need some kind people in Auckland, Tauranga, Rotorua and Hamilton to offer up a bit of time to go and put these flyers up for me. I would do it but distance is a bit of an issue really. I am happy to colour copy some and send down to you.

I am really looking forward to being overwhelmed by offers of help!

Thanks guys!

Just beeen speaking to Shane from Motorcycle Trader (Deputy Editor) and he is very supportive of this Event. He also wants to be apart of our main core bunch of riders so I have added his name to the list.
He will get something in the July issue promoting all rides on June 28th and a full feature writeup article in the August issue...

You are becoming a bit of an expert now oh tarty one! This is going to be a goody! I have received a heap of parliament contacts by email today and will construct a few well chosen words this weekend to send to a few of them.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Toaster is now no longer able to make this ride so, there is a spot open for anyone who wants to step up and take part.

**Maha** · 3rd June 2008, 17:26

Pm's have sent out to all those listed on the first post as the main bunch.
We have spoken to Shane from Motorcycle Trader also and he will be there.
I know of two that wont be there because of prior engagements and DEATH_INC has kindly stepped into the vacant spot due to Toasters off over the weekend. The objective of this meeting is to spell out how June the 28th will unfold and what each of the 10 riders can do to help it run smoothly as possible.

So how many are you planning on coming on the entire ride with you? It has been advertised in the runs list of the latest (June) Auckland Ulysses branch newsletter.
