Hey guys and gals, a few people were already asking about the 2008 Cruisin’ for MS event so we’ve opened registration super early. It’s scheduled for Sept. 7, 2008, further details are not available at this time for obvious reasons but it will be the same idea as previous years. We had one Focus this year and we'd LOVE to see a whole bunch more in 2008!!

A supporter in Woodstock had a great idea that I’d like to share. Not sure what to buy for someone who already has everything? Looking for something meaningful rather than “materialistic” for Christmas? (or whatever holiday you celebrate) This lady is giving her parents a prepaid Cruisin' registration plus their first pledge. What a cool idea eh?! She arranged it with me and I’ve written a letter on MS letterhead telling them that they’re registered and her donation will go to their $150 minimum pledge.

Anyway, I’d like to take this chance to wish everyone happy holidays and a new year filled with health and happiness. All the best!!

He's attempting to give this site a social conscience.........leave him be. If I wasn't looking after my wife, who has MS, I'd be going. So, maybe you should take that gangsta' car out for a drive, and do something good with it.

The 6th Annual Cruisin’ for MS – Sunday, September 7, 2008 :tup

Hi guys, this is to announce that the 2008 Cruisin’ for MS website is now up and running at http://www.cruisinforms.com. For the first time ever we have online registration and fundraising! Just click on the green button to enter the Online Registration System where you can sign up for this year’s cruise, manage your own account (including your photo and email address), send emails asking for pledges, and pledge someone in the cruise. Anyone who pledges online will get an instant tax receipt. Also online, check out our Facebook Group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12599498995.

In other news, I’m very excited to announce that the 2008 event Honorary Chair is Elyse Dagenais, field correspondent for Old Autos Television. She’s a true gear head, check out her page at http://www.oldautostv.com/Elyse.html. Last year’s awesome sponsors are back as well as a few new ones. We’re working on a new route. And we have an amazing new photographer, Photography by Yvonne--the work they do will knock your socks off and you can order anything you want right from their website at http://www.photographybyyvonne.com.

It’s still early in the year but as you can see we’re busy making plans. We’re looking forward to the biggest and best cruise yet, building on the strengths of the last five years plus some great suggestions and ideas that came from last year’s Participant Survey.

Set aside September 7th and don’t miss out on all the fun and prizes!
