Church to Sponsor Gas Discounts for Community
Murray Hill Baptist Church will sponsor an event to ease the pain inflicted at the pump by high gas prices. On March 15th, 2008, the “Gas Buy Down†will be held at the Kangaroo Express Gas Station located on the corner of Post St. and Edgewood Ave in Murray Hill. Beginning at 10a.m. the price of gas will be reduced by 50 cents per gallon for two hours. The gas prices will be reset to their original price at exactly 12:01p.m.
The discount will be limited to 15 gallons per customer in order to provide the discount to as many people as possible. The gas station will be set up as a ‘one way’ station; with the entrance on Edgewood Ave. and the exit on Post St/ Cypress St.
Kangaroo is pleased to partner with the church in order to offer this unique price reduction to its customers. They will be providing free drinks to customers who purchase gas and will be having raffles throughout the two hours. The Kangaroo mascot will be present also, to give out balloons to kids.
As a follow-up event, the church will be hosting a community wide Easter Egg Hunt for those 3rd grade and under, the following Saturday, March 22nd, at Four Corners Park at the intersection of Lawnview and Lamboll in Murray Hill. An inflatable bounce house, egg dying and other Easter arts and crafts will be available for the children following the egg hunt. The event will last from 10a.m. to 11a.m.
I'm steering clear of that mess, it'll be backed up to the other side of the RxR tracks, and hell, all the way to Park Street maybe! I drive a 05 Dodge Ram, so I'll be alright. You'll waste more waitin to get gas.
Wow, that place is going to be a mad house!
