LinktoCharlotte Plans for 2009-10

LinktoCharlotte has been working behind the scenes to plan our events for 2009-2010. We are in the process of identifying interesting locations to hold our events and team members who will help us coordinate.

LinktoCharlotte's mission is to bring people together in our on-line community and also to highlight the interesting activities available in our city. This is part business networking with a large dose of fun and entertainment. We want this group to be vibrant and fun.

Do you have a place for our group to meet. This can range for 15 people to 50+.

Please contact Andrew Kaplan at ewarriorbizdev@gmail.com.

We are also looking for donations for raffle prizes for our meetings as well. If you have a product or service you would like to offer our members please be in touch.

Sprint All Star Race and Media Celebrities

This week Charlotte is all about racing and Lowes Motor Speedway is the place to be.

NASCAR is building up to the Coca Cola 600 on memorial day weekend, with its Sprint All-Star Race for a million dollars. The top drivers will compete in a final segment which will have only 10 laps for this million dollar prize. Driver Kasey Kahne compared it to driving the way they did when he first started racing as a youth.

The All-Star race is special this year as it is in its 25th running. Celebrities such as Kevin Costner and America's Most Wanted John Walsh are here to participate. Country Duo Montgomery Gentry will be the featured artists at the race.

This is one of the most fun days for NASCAR drivers. Many of the drivers live and work near Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC and have a chance to drive in front of family and friends.
