This is Patti McBride, one of the MoGang members, and I am looking forward to taking care of the group baskets for Spyderfest 2015. I can't believe it will soon be here. I can't wait to see the amazing baskets that are put together for this event. We are asking that groups put together baskets that will be raffled off to benefit a local charity. The charity will be announced soon. I know most of you will be on your bikes so I would like to offer that you can mail the baskets and or items to me and I can transport the baskets to Spyderfest for you. We had a lot of awesome baskets for 2014 and hope for the same for 2015. If you have any questions or comments please reply or IM me. My mailing address is;

This is a great opportunity for all to help out others. Our past years have been great with generosity and contributions. Let's out do our past years as I know the Spyder Ryders can

Thanks for starting this post, Patti! Last year's baskets were awesome & I'm really looking forward to Spyderfest 2015. I know they will be even better next year. I love that all the different spyder groups try to outdo one another & all the money raised goes to a worthwhile charity.

Sky is the limit on the baskets. Will have to check with Pitbull, but the last couple of years they have shipped the baskets to where ever for a small fee. (That I don't think covered the cost.)
We have had things from gift certificates, jams, jellies, ham, liquor, wine, cash, handmade items, accessories for the Spyder. If you think you would like it I am sure that someone else will.

Love to all

See you soon

Patty, what were some of the favorite items that people seemed to be interested in in the past?

[Phil]

Patti- I'm sure Bobbie & I will put together a Texas basket and bring it with us.

[Joanie]

Remember to bring your address labels, you know the ones you get free in the mail..... That way you don't have to write you name and everything on there, you can just put a label on the back!!!!'

(Can you tell I have done this before!!)

Many have asked what to include in the baskets. As stated earlier the skies the limit. We had items anywhere from stuff for the bykes, gift cards, note pads, handmade themed items from the states groups are from, grilling items etc... Be creative, it is really cool to get a themed item from the area where the groups are from. Another idea is put together a basket from the host hotel that you are staying at. Hope this helps. Again if you can't hand carry to SpyderFest, you can mail it to my house and I will hand carry it. I've had a couple items already that is being sent to my house. Please message me if you are sending anything so that I can watch for it. Can't wait to see al of the neat things!

The address labels Joanie is referring to are the kind you put on mail as your return address. You will put them on the tickets you purchase for the baskets and then drop in the box (can or whatever) for the drawings. Makes it easier than trying to write your name on all of the tickets you purchase.

Gary,

Use the return address labels you use when mailing something. Please see my post just above this one.

Thank you Linda. I have been to several benefits and when you purchase raffle tickets it is just easier to stick a label, I get writers cramp real easy!! If you don't have any they are real easy to make. All the Wal-Marts have return address labels that you can print yourself.

See everyone soon!!!

Which night are the tickets going to be drawn for the baskets?

Maybe people out of the crowd could do the honor?

As in the past the tickets will be drawn on Saturday night.

Let's try to make this bigger and better than last year.

I know that several of the states didn't put their basket together till they got to SpyderFest, individuals purchased items and each brought with them and put together there. Also there will be people with "cages" at each of the hotels and we will help get them to Vendor Village.

Let Pattie know if you have any questions!!

[mac spydee]

How are all the baskets coming. I can't wait to see how creative you all will be with your baskets. Again, if you aren't able to bring your items you can mail them to me and I will get them to Spyderfest for you. IM me and we can make arrangements. Can't wait to see everyone at Spyderfest!

[SpyderLady]

Our charities (which the baskets will also help) are Road Warriors and Isabel's House. Both great causes that need our help.

[SpyderLady]

Bumping to keep this up near the top. Come on people the proceeds will be going to great and worthy causes. Get your groups, states, friends together and put together a basket.

[mac spydee]

I just received the first basket item on Friday to bring to SpyderFest. Not telling what it is yet but it can be well used. The donor has asked for the item to be put with items from the Best Western Group. Since we are having Host Hotels, the Hotels groups can also put baskets together, what a great idea. Can't wait to see what is put together.

[cognaccruiser]

I won't tell either! LOL

Glad it got there.
