Looks like the company is actually Power Monitors, Inc. Check your PM's for email address.

No, its grey I think. Have seen the blue/ yellow light one around a few times though.

UPDATE Jan. 17th
Met with BBBS downtown this morning and spent a good hour speaking with the head of the program for Rockingham county as well as the marketing/ outreach head.
My match support specialist (who manages my match with my little brother) spoke with the two mentioned above previously before this first meeting and since day one it has pretty much been a green light from them! (learned of this today)
I will be working weekly with the program director and the outreach liaison to continue to organize how we will run this little event at the car show. Working out the details, liability matters etc. Note- BBBS has a school program and a community program- for the community program, littles are able to be picked up with their matches. I am currently doing both a mix of the school and community program with my little- basically once they have your license and insurance card....you are good to go. Something similar of this matter will need to occur for the drivers designated for the event in order to cover both BBBS and MM's butts should something bad happen.....which won't. These details and concerns will be hammered out over the next 10 to 12 weeks or so!
Jon and I will be SELECTIVE and work with BBBS to choose which individuals will drive. I will of course plan to have news coverage of this from BBBS corporate, local newspaper/ broadcast stations etc. We will make this a well known event!
I also have discussed with them that not only will we be giving back to the community by giving these children a once in a lifetime experience BUT WE ALSO have the intentions of fundraising a decent amount of funds to donate from MM to BBBS. This will begin TODAY with Jon and I contacting various businesses around H'burg to meet, tell them what we are doing and how to get involved.
This is going to be a great way for MM to cap off the year with an amazing and unique car show as well as an even more amazing way to give back and really show the community what MM is all about, safe, responsible JMU students with big hearts.
I will update here regularly with meeting minutes as well as a record of how much $ we have raised thus far- my target is at least $1,000, but I WANT to write a $1200 check to BBBS in April after all fundraising is said and done.

Sooo... Where is advertising for this show? I think you guys should already be hammering out forums/posters/at least have a facebook event.
Re: 2013 Car Show - Charity Idea - Jewels - 02-19-2013
Yeah, I think we usually wait to long to advertise. If you want other people (ie Adults) to come to your show, you need for it to be on their calendars early enough in the year. I'd like to go ahead and put up a flyer at my work. We have a lot of car guys here. Also, be sure to get a hold of Mark at TMI, last year he was going to bring a car, but never heard from anyone.
Re: 2013 Car Show - Charity Idea - premiershine9 - 02-19-2013
Working with Scott B now for the posters- apologies no update here.... was with you all this weekend- back to school grind and trying to find life after school....been a little preoccupied with some other higher priorities on my list right now.
Already have shot out a list of duties and goals to accomplish this week as of 8 am yesterday morning for the other officers. We contacted Scott last week and am working to get ideas flowing and a design out this week.
Will update here later on this week

Also- concerning Mark @ TMI- sent follow up e-mails and phone calls to continue a relationship with MM days after our tour in the fall........nothing but crickets on his end

I know he's been traveling for Spec Atom. He's been spending a great deal of time on the West Coast. I'll send a batsignal message up from my guy here at work.
Anything to help.Also, don't get butthurt when the alumni ask questions. We just want to help you succeed, even if we do ask a lot of questions. We all know school is hectic. Your update is good. Make Polen update every week, he spend a lot of time on the forum anyway.
Re: 2013 Car Show - Charity Idea - premiershine9 - 02-19-2013
Julie- give me two days before you send the signal, last e-mail I had sent was near the Holidays- I'll shoot another quick here tonight to him
I'm not butthurt at all- just having a shitty day on my end with classes and after school life. I enjoy receiving the occasional poke on the shoulder reminding us of some dates BUT sometimes we need a little breathing room- more might be in the works here at school than what some might see sitting in their cubicle far from 'burg

O trust me, I'll be dreaming about that sucker tonight! Literally an hour after that glorious lunch shit just hit the fan, a good nights rest tonight and some more coffee will help.
