"CANTINA FOR
THE 'CON" A HUGE SUCCESS
California's Rubicon
Trail gets a boost from fun fundraiser
By Del Albright- Trail Boss, Friends of the Rubicon
and BlueRibbon Coalition Ambassador
For the second year in a row, one club, “This Dysfunctional
Organization” (TDO), affectionately known as the
Dysfunctional Rockcrawlers hit another home run with this
fund raiser! This year they raised more than $8,500.00 for
the Rubicon Trail in just one weekend!
 They
held the event over the Labor Day weekend of September 2nd
and 3rd at the Loon Lake entrance to the Rubicon Trail.
Hundreds of folks donated, bought tickets, and stopped by to
support TDO and the Rubicon efforts. All proceeds went to
the Rubicon Trail Foundation (which means it all goes to the
trail).
This is going to be an annual event and TDO is already
making plans for next year, so make it a point to join us
next year at the Loon Lake Spillway over the Labor Day
weekend.
Cantina for the ‘Con is a Taco Feed and Raffle to benefit
the Rubicon Trail. You can check out the Raffle prizes on
the TDO web site
www.thisdysfunctional.org, or you can purchase Raffle
Tickets and make donations when the time is near.
By donating the proceeds to the Rubicon Trail Foundation
(RTF), they are guaranteeing that the money will be used
exclusively for the support of the Rubicon Trail. RTF is a
501 C3 corporation dedicated to the future of the Rubicon
Trail so all donations are tax deductible.
The Cantina Event is a lot more that a Taco Feed. It is a
social gathering of people from all over with the same ideas
on their minds “SAVE OUR TRAIL AND KEEP OUR PUBLIC LANDS
OPEN”.
TDO, a San Francisco Bay Area 4WD club, started out as a
group of about 6 friends that met on-line and got together
one Sunday a few years ago for a wrench-a-thon. They called
it Dysfunctional Sunday and the name stuck. Since then
they've invited other friends to "join" their crew and the
numbers grew. TDO is one heck-of-a awesome, get the job done
crew. You can learn more about their club on their web site
at
http://www.thisdysfunctional.org
The Rubicon Trail Foundation supports the efforts of the
famous Friends of the Rubicon (FOTR) in keeping the Rubicon
alive and well. Together, RTF and FOTR with help from clubs
like TDO, the Rubicon Trail will stay in good hands forever.
We all send a huge thank you to the hard-working, dedicated
Dysfunctional Rockcrawlers.
Next years Cantina on the Con will be announced on several
web sites such as RTF, Cal4Wheel, TDO, DelAlbright.com,
Pirate4x4.com, 4x4wire.com, FOTR, etc.
