Ride Meeting

We will be having another meeting for our ride event this Saturday, August 28th at 10:00am. Please plan to attend this meeting if possible. We need volunteers for food at the event. I have Starbucks donating coffee, I will have donuts there, Harley Davidson will be serving hot dogs and chips and giving prizes. We would like to have chili for the event after the ride. We need volunteers to make chili, and maybe a veggie soup. We also need people to make cookies, and bring crackers. We have a lot of donations for prizes. I have been told by the Indianapolis Colts, we will be getting an autographed 8X10 of Joseph Addai. I just found out a few minutes ago. The oldies channel will be there to play music and make announcements.

This ride is to raise money and awareness for HHAFFA. This ride is going to be police escorted if possible. We will have a minister there to bless the bikes. There will be NO alcohol allowed at or during this event. I know some people associate a motorcycle ride event with bars. this is NOT that kind of ride. Everyone is invited, whether you ride or not. Registration starts at 9:00am. We will depart at 11:00 am.On Saturday, September 25th 2010. With a rain date set for October 9th 2010.The event location is at the Thornton park pavilion. We will take a ride through the country, head up to Bloomington, then back to the park for food and prizes.

James and Brandy Howell will be there with a table set up for Angels of Gabriel Michael. Howell. We really need people to help us with this great event. I'm asking for volunteer's to PLEASE HELP US!

We also have our entry in for the Oolitic parade. I have not received our number yet, but I will let everyone know as soon as I receive it. As you know the parade is on 09/11/2010. We were asked to please get all the vets we can to march with us. Please join in and march in the parade to show your support.

If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 275-0246.
And please try to attend this Saturday's meeting.
