Event: Angel Flight Charity Car Wash
Date: September 9, 2006
Location: Austin, Texas
Description: After finishing the Manor parade, I swung by to help the Plane-Girls who were sponsoring a charity carwash for Angel Flight.  For those of you that don't know, the Plane-Girls are women interested in aviation and either have their pilots license or are working toward receiving one.  Angel Flight is a non-profit network of pilots that donate air-time to disadvantaged or ill children who require transportation services.

Upon arrival, "Doc", Chelsie and Chasity were all smiles when I pulled into the parking lot in the jeep.  Before I even got out of the jeep, Doc stuck out his hand and gave me a warm welcome.  I told them I had a few hours to help where I could and we decided to park the jeep out by the street for 'curb appeal'.  Well, that and the Plane-Girls in the jeep or holding the carwash signs is what was going to bring in the dirty cars.

While there, Doc fired up the little kettle grill and tossed on some 'dawgs which were mighty fine tasting.  We joked about me cooking the famous 'jeep burgers' at the recent airshows this year.  Then, a big old guy walks up and asks "about the jeep for sale".  I recognized him as Matt R. from the re-enactor group and we laughed for a while about my jeep being 'For Sale'.  I hadn't given thought to our close-knit community networking with one another and someone drove by the car lot thinking the jeep was for sale and calling a friend to look at it.  Matt stuck around for a while and gave a donation for his hot-dog then left.

After a few carwashes and an ever threatening cloudy sky I hit my mark where I had to pack up and say good-bye.  I thanked Doc for the hotdog, said my good-byes to the girls and loaded up the jeep but not before I noticed some 'bank' in the donation jar.

Another good event for the jeep and for a good cause too.
