RE: YOU ONLY WANT SIX FREE DONUTS on MAY 17th?

The coffee alone is worth the time to help fill a couple of bags - where else can you get a "roasted on" day with your coffee? And they are tossing in donuts and beer as a bonus! ________________________________ From: mba-bounce(a)thebarn.com [mailto:mba-bounce@thebarn.com] On Behalf Of Rick Oftel Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 3:03 PM To: TheBarn Subject: YOU ONLY WANT SIX FREE DONUTS on MAY 17th? OK now I didn't expect you to all jump on your computers and respond to a trash pickup program so I will go out on a limb and purchase six (6) donuts for the event. Paul and I each get two! Remember, this is a way for homeBrewers to give something back to their community and this is the same community that elected Jimmy Carter who re-legalized homebrewing. On the other side, it also is the community that supports Budweiser but all things can change. Give us a hint if you are planning to participate. This is a real simple program and we provide the freshest coffee and beer in the world and all the free trash anyone would like to collect! With the current price of aluminum, you could be making out like a bandit! ________________________________ Subject: FREE COFFEE, DONUTS, BEER AND FOOD on MAY 17th. Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 08:36:58 -0500 From: Rick.Oftel(a)toro.com To: mba(a)thebarn.com Attention Minnesota Homebrewers! The MHBA committed to keeping a stretch of Shady Oak Road relatively clean. MnDOT posted a thank you sign a sign and our group cheerfully cleaned up the 2 mile stretch for the first time last fall. Following the work, Paul cheerfully provided us with BBQ Ribs that were hard to beat. Mike Behrendt is planning on leaving Paul far behind and volunteered to be the next host for the get together. The next cleaning session is Saturday, May 17th. Let's meet at 9am in the parking lot on the west side of Shady Oak Road about 1/2 block north of Excelsior Blvd. I'll have home roasted coffee and a box of donuts to get you started. We also have the safety speech, fancy vests, empty garbage bags plus words of encouragement. After cleaning (around 11:30), stop by Mike's house for some beer and lunch. The address is: 9060 Douglas Drive, Eden Prairie. Phone is 952-949-2268. Take Shady Oak south, get on 212 South. Stay in the left 2 lanes and where it splits with 5, stay on 312 (it's a fairly new road and may not be on your map). Exit at Eden Prairie Road and turn right at the end of the exit ramp. Go South to Pioneer Trail and turn right. Turn right on Braxton and another quick right turn onto Douglas Drive. It's the 5th house on the left with the driveway that curves in front of the door. Let us know if you can make it so we purchase enough donuts, lunch, and brew enough coffee and beer. Remember to wear heavy shoes or boots and bring gloves. You can keep any treasure you find! So mark your calendars, send us a message, or just show up. It would really be helpful to have possibly 4 - 6 crews with vehicles so we can section the road into small bits. Bring you cell phones. See you May 17th!
