This summer, The Green Machine held a very successful team spirit/car wash fundraising event at the Holiday Station on Interlachen and Vernon, Edina. Team members assembled around 10 AM, then washed cars, usually in frenzied bursts, to raise money for the upcoming 2008 FRC season. After four hours of sweat, soap, and sun, we packed up the wet towels and buckets. Exhausted, yes, but we raised $487 to help finance team activities and events. It was fun to get team members together during the summer break and a chance to meet students who are joining as rookie members. Everyone had a great time and made lots of cars sparkle. Team 1816 thanks the staff of the Holiday station for their support, and donation of their parking lot facilities, and thanks everyone who bought a ticket and turned up to get their car washed.
