LV Dutch Dubbers

As courtesy to the LV Dutch Dubbers, I wanted to make you all aware of their get together coming up at the American of Wheels Museum, (the new auto museum in Pa). They are hosting this event. Check out the Dutch Dubbers website for additional information. (A link is under our favorite things). They represented at Dub N Rub last year, and will be there again this year. They are just off the LV exit of the NE turnpike extension (1.5hrs above Phily, 20 min from NJ) If you have any questions or need further info, please email them! They are great people. Unfortunately I have to work that day or I would be cruising out that way to join them. I wish them a sunny day with tons of Dubbers!

Grand Opening

Back in the fall, Lemorris contacted us after seeing last year's show posted on theSamba. He wanted to contribute his talent to our show because of how cancer has affected him in his life. We were excited to work with him. He took our ideas, and worked in last years t-shirt design by Brian Yohn and created something unique for us and we truly appreciate all his time and efforts!
Many companies have donated items to the show, people have lent their raw talent and a few have made monetary contributions that are giving the show the edge to top last year in donations.
This is no ordinary show and shine, this is Dub N Rub...a fundraiser for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! Who doesn't want to save boobies?

Volksfest, etc

HAVOC put on a great show today in Campbelltown! They changed the format a bit, due to volunteer issues...but as a show and shine it worked out well I thought. I did "show" the car, but it ended up being a disaster due to an emergency vet visit at 7am. The dog's fine, but the car was full of hair! ah well, there's always next year.
I spent a good deal of the morning walking around and meeting people, trying to get the word out on the show. I met a lot of people from CePA that I knew from screen names, but not to see them personally and a few groups putting out the word on the show by posting on their sites. I did not put our fliers in unattended cars, but if you got one on your front seat thank Ko for that! I enjoyed meeting everyone, and hope I didn't harass too much. Hahaha.
I was so happy to hear that a lot of people already knew of the show...our campaign must be working then! Susquehanna Valley Vanagon Club knew all about the show, and has put June 20th on their calendar as a club function! That's so cool. I know that the Dutch Dubbers have done the same thing on their calendar too. We're on people's "to do" lists! I love it.
Lemorris got back to me today, and I have a tentative price on t-shirts. If they fall in the price range he says they will, they'll be $15 again this year.
I would love to have another company sponsor $200 to completely cover the costs of the t-shirts. If we could find one more, then the whole show will be covered and all the money donated June 20th will go toward the walk! That would be so awesome! We still have a few t-shirts left over from last year. If you're interested they are $10. Email or call me, and we can work something out via paypal and the post office!

under construction

Lemorris has sent bits and pieces of his design to us...and we are on the edge of our seats waiting to see the final product.
Rumor has it Chirco Performance and Restoration is going to be donating posters to us of the final design...I can't even begin to summarize what Chirco has to offer the air cooled community. Just take a look for yourself....www.chirco.com
They've also generously offered 10% off purchases when you tell them Dub and Rub sent you! That's an awesome deal guys, thanks again for your generosity!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

What's with the movie quote? It's because DubKorps is donating some items to the show. I am very new to DubKorps forum and am still a lowly Private, but I just ordered my Sector 2 sticker and I can't wait to get it!

The show is rapidly approaching, and just recently Jason and I put a bid on a house. We're getting all the inspections and mortgage stuff going, and I'm quickly running out of time during the day. But enough about that. I've added a link to DubKorps under " a few of our favorite things"....

Volksride.com/Vintage Bucket INC

We are very excited to thank Mark from Vintage Bucket INC...his site is http://www.volksride.com/. Volksride is oriented towared the VW air cooled community.

Mark contacted me early on in my soliciting, regarding being a part of the show. His desire to help us is due to how cancer has affected him and his family.

Thanks again Mark!

Coming Soon!

Lemorris sent us the above design for our postcard advertising and we love it. We added some text and ordered them the beginning of March. By the time Volksfest rolls around you'll start seeing them completely done. While I'll be at Volksfest selling t-shirts from last year and handing out the fliers for this years show, I'm also think I may be showing my car for the first time! It's really just brand spanking stock at this point, but eventually we'll get to doing things.
If you registered last year, we asked for your email address so be prepared to see an email from us closer to the time of the show. We won't be spammin or clogging up your inbox, so do not fear! I think I have emails and phone calls out to every possible company I can think of...but I'm always up for suggestions, and if you're in with someone and think they may be interested...give out my info!
It's getting closer...can't wait to see you there!

Watch out Ants!

Jason and I had the day off today and drove around looking for companies to donate for the raffle and our goodie bags! I love the new car, and had such a great time driving it. Things are solidifying, and it's becoming a show. We signed the contract with Twin Grove, and are slowing getting things together. The show is starting to shape up, and with it now March we're ramping up our motivation. Don't forget to call Twin Grove to reserve your spot ASAP. They go quickly.

Balls are rolling

Hmmm, doesn't sound healthy though does it? Rolling balls...
Well, yesterday being President's Day and all, I had the day off to roam around Central PA soliciting donations from companies. Don't fret, if I did not make it to you yesterday I will be there soon enough!

There's been some great people donating their talents to our project and we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge them:

--Scott, the GM at HA Boyd VW is donating $500 to help cover the costs of t-shirts and advertising so we don't have to take it out of the money raised by the show. Need a new whip? Talk to Scott!

--Brian Yohn of ShedPress created the logo for the show and screen printed the t-shirts last year. You all have a least one shirt from Brian. I know we have enough to clothe a small nation.

--Lemorris Harris, found our show on thesamba.com and has donated his artistic talents to creating our advertising this year. Lemorris has done work for many auto groups on the west coast. Just check out his website http://www.lemorris.com/

--Tim O. of Lost Dog Photos has offered his photography skills and will be taking pictures at the show for us. He has a great talent and we're very excited to have him donating his time and talent. http://www.lostdogphotos.com/

We are grateful to all of them for helping us raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! That's what all this is about. Raising money to help women, and men.

Check out the ACS website to see where the money we raise will go!

Advertising? Of course there's advertising!

TheSambaPost

Check out the post on TheSamba regarding Dub and Rub. Lemorris has begun working on the shows design! He incorporated Brian Yohn's original design, Wendell's GTi, Andy's Audi and Pinky the Notch!

TheSamba-When your daily driver isn't enough!

I love when stuff comes in the mail. It is sort of like Christmas. You come home from work and...what's that on the doorstep? A package! I didn't buy anything lately...ohhh it's from www.thesamba.com!
TheSamba donated items will appear in the goodie bags again this year! A big thanks to TheSamba. If you are unfamiliar with the group, check out www.thesamba.com
This is directly taken from their About section:

TheSamba.com, founded in 1997 by Everett Barnes, is one of the largest Volkswagen-related online communities. In those early days of the Internet, Everett just wanted a place to post his growing collection of VW photos and literature online.
With 400,000+ photos in the gallery, 50,000+ dynamic classified ads, and lively discussion forums, TheSamba.com has gained a global audience of Volkswagen enthusiasts. The site currently includes free classifieds, a user gallery, an extensive archive of Volkswagen literature and manuals, a worldwide events listing, club listings, links, and a free business directory.
TheSamba.com content changes by the minute so keep one eye on the classifieds for deals and one eye on the forums for technical and informative discussions!

It's a terrific site, with oodles of air cooled information from all over!

Goodie bags, one per registered show car, are first come and until they run out. We'll have t-shirts for sale again. Raffle tickets and 50/50 will also be sold.

The show and shine was created to raise money for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk that occurrs each October on City Island in Harrisburg PA. The show is open to both air and water cooled VW's! This year we are inviting Audi's to show along with all our VW friends! We changed up the "classes" some by creating a 1st and 2nd place for the following:

All Natural: Daily drivers
Best Cleavage: Best display
Best Topless: Convertibles
Perkiest: High performance
Inner Beauty: Overall interior
Junk in the Trunk: Stereo system
Most Supportive: Most supportive of breast cancer awareness
Saggiest: Lowest

At this point, all vehicles will be judged together (no separation for the air cooled, water cooled or Audi's). As the show grows up a bit, we will definitely make accommodations!

This year, Twin Grove will be dishing up the food in the pavilion. There is a restaurant and ice cream parlor within easy walking of the field. An amusement park and mini golf course are also accessible. Bathroom facilities are luxurious and also within walking distance. It's a pet friendly crew, just bring them leashed.

We are hoping to have enough sponsorship that ALL the money raised this year will go to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk!

It sounds so far away, but it is just a short 5 1/2 months! So much to do still.

Twin Grove Park Campground

HipHipHooray!
Just to keep everyone up to date, Twin Grove Park is holding June 20, 2009 for Jason and I to hold Dub and Rub there! We are very excited about it. We have to sign the contract, but for now we have committed to it on a proverbial handshake.
Jason and I will be posting up the official information in the forums found under "Some of our favorite things". We'd like to do as much advertising as possible, so please forward along as you see fit!
All your questions should be directed to either Jason or myself, jasonpowley@gmail.com or sharonpowley@gmail.com.
We'll be looking for volunteers closer to the show to help with parking on the field.
Remember to book your campsite early! Twin Grove fills up quickly.
There's so much to do there--poolside, amusement park, mini golf--that with it being Father's Day weekend...you may want to stay over!

Holiday Cheer

Not much is going on right now with the show, only because of the holidays being here. It's hard to juggle too many things. There are really only two things to update you on. 1) Save the Ta-Ta's donated t-shirts and bumper stickers for the raffle...check out www.savethetatas.com! 2)Lemorris Harris is designing our fliers for this year. We thank Lemorris for donating his time and talent to our event!
We have envisioned postcards (similar to H2Oi's) that we'll hand out. I'm also planning on having a tent at Volksfest down in the vendor area (Jason usually helps out with the show, last year he helped park cars on the field).
We're still looking for sponsors for the show, and for companies to donate items. Please either email sharonpowley@gmail.com or jasonpowley@gmail.com. HA Boyd VW out of Lebanon, PA is a sponsor, and we would like a few more to help defray costs.
For now, have a safe and joyous New Year's!!
Sharon and Jason

HA BOYD VW, PROUD SPONSER

HA Boyd is a proud sponser for Dub and Rub 2009.

For the 2008 show we paid for the t-shirts, vinyl clings and flyers out of the money raised at the show. We put out a bit of our own, and chalked it up to a good cause.

For the upcoming show we figured out what we spent last year, and asked the companies that donated for some monetary help. Scott, eagerly stepped up and was happy to assist with part of our needs. They were amazing in 2008 and donated 2 $100 gift certificates!

HA Boyd is located at 1250 Chestnut St in Lebanon PA. Their website www.haboydvw.com is chock full of new and certified pre-owned VW's. And if you prefer people to internet, give them a call at 717-273-9385.

Go Topless!

Go Topless, a '96 Cabrio, drove home with with her top down after winning Best Topless.

Not everyone can be all natural

Thebodywork on this '03 GTi caused the judges to bestow Best Implants on this spectacular car. (Eurotuner unknowingly agreed and the car was featured in October 2008.)

Perkiest and Best Cleavage

The '91 Jetta GL (also known as Money Pit) collected the Perkiest Award for his High Performance ride, while his father's '65 Bug was declared Best Cleavage for his great display.

All Natural is always a winner!

The owner of this 2001 GTi proudly displayed his daily driver and rode home as the declared winner of the All Natural class.
