ANNUAL ARRG CAR WASH THIS SATURDAY
If you’re like me, one of the things that you despise doing is hand-washing your vehicle.
And let’s face it…taking the wheels through a car wash sometimes just doesn’t do the trick.
This weekend, ARRG gives you the chance to put a shine on your ride.
The Arch Rival Roller Girls will hold their annual car wash this Saturday, August 28, from noon until 6 pm at the Venice Café (1903 Pestalozzi, St. Louis, MO).
This event - through your kind donations - supports ARRG and its activities.
Visualize it - St. Louis’ sexiest athletes…in bikinis…and fishnets…with soapy suds…and sponges….
Nuff’ said - we’ll see you Saturday at the Venice Café!
