As Told on Livraison Speciale

Our good friend Geant Vert today called in to ask drivers to sign up!

"Many are saying, we will see you on the 22nd, but not a whole lot are signed in yet. Don't wait at the last minute" he said on air today

Event if you have until August 31st, the sooner we know how many will be there, the better. We have a lot of surprises and goodies to get ready for you. I hope you were not expecting to leave empty handed for the donation you will do!

The First Official Inscription

During our visit in Donnacona at the Festival du Routier, we were pleased to receive the very first official inscription. Réjean Gosselin from Québec City turned in his registration form and his check to Susanne Smyth President of the Committee.

During the event and at the XM172 driver appreciation day, many of you made pledges to be there and if all of you that took registration packets at the events we showed up, a new record will be established in Quebec!

We have an inside challenge. If we have more then 100 trucks, I (Jean) must do some cartwheels. If we have more then 200, Susanne will do some. If the standing record of the World's Largest Truck Convoy is broken, get ready to see some hair fall off of Dany's head. A total shave. I'm getting the wireless clipper charged up for the occasion hoping I will have to use it!!!

Look for us at many truck events during the summer in Quebec. If you need more information, give us a call at (450) 789-0055, or by email convoi.qc.os@sympatico.ca

Drivers Appreciation Day June 22nd

Transport Magazine and XM172 are inviting professional drivers to an appreciation day as Mister Mayor Gendron of Huntington Qc will make his debut with XM.

Susanne Smyth and Gaétan Houle will be there to answer all your questions about the Convoy. They will be at the little gray station wagon with the Convoy logos on the rear windows.

Stop by to say hi and take the time to sign up!

It's on the road!

Be on the look out on the roads of North America for our friend Dany "Toto" Chretien at the wheel of his Volvo hauling the Quebec Convoy trailer.

Wave at him and if you have any questions, please fell free to ask him. You can also look for
Suzan "Mom" Sidwel
Richard "Geantvert" Tremblay
Jean "Coffee Monster" Catudal
You can recognise them by the "Convoi" logos on their trucks.

Drive safely and we hope to see you on September 22nd 2007!

Nice Effort to Support the Convoy

Being an XM subscriber, I often listen to “Livraison Spéciale” with Jacques Plante on 172. Jacques had the idea to participate with the “Adopt a Trucker” program helped by his listeners. We appreciate the effort for the cause because he brought in with him Jean-François Plante from Radio XTRM in the afternoon show.

This gave me an idea!

With the theme “Take up The Challenge”, I ask to all other radio hosts, at XM, on traditional radio or TV to do the same. This would also meet our other theme, “United in a same Cause”.

You will find shortly on the blog links to the different hosts that will follow their lead.

Thank you for you support and your efforts.

Adopt a Trucker, Another way to Take up the Challenge

Knowing that we all have our hard times, it’s not easy for everybody to come up with the registration fee for the truck. It’s the reason why there is the “Adopt a Trucker” program. This is a way a participant can ease on the cost and have the possibility to bring in even more.

How?

Real easy! Just download the registration form on the web site of the convoy, send us an email to get it, by phone or good old snail mail to get the packet and look at page 3. This is the page that allows you to collect funds at family functions, soft-ball games, among customers, friends in other words, whoever you know. You can assure these generous sponsors that Special Olympics Quebec will issue them a receipt for their donation. Special Olympics Quebec is a registered non-profit organisation.

In return you will get, if you are a top three to collect funds this way:

A choice of position in the convoy accordingly to the amount collected
Your name in future adds and promotions of the convoy
A good feeling from making a difference for someone
