Ride for Kids October 3, 2010 Solano
Community College 4000
Suisun Valley Road Fairfield, CA
I want to invite every member of
this Chapter and any other Blue Knights Chapters to join thousands of riders,
coast to coast, for the Ride for Kids. This year you’ll have the opportunity to join
and ride in the second annual Northern California Ride for Kids event.
With CA
VII involved in the Ride for Kids for
the past several years, I hope you’re familiar with the event and where your
donations are being utilized. If not,
check out these two websites: http://ride4kids.org/ and http://www.pbtfus.org/. Ok, now that you’re familiar with the
charity, and the Ride for Kids, let’s
talk about our involvement in the ride.
Of course you can pay your $35 registration and enjoy the ride and
festivities OR you can start your own fundraising webpage at www.firstgiving.com
OR you can solicit sponsorships from family, co-workers, friends and neighbors.
There are two ways you can join your fellow members of CA VII for the Northern
California Ride for Kids on the 4th.
1st
you can ride directly to the Solano Community College and pay your $35
registration for the ride--Registration
will run 0730-0945 hrs. 2nd
any member or friend of the Chapter that would like to join me for the ride to
Fairfield on October 3rd should meet me at the following location
and time: Marie Callender’s aka the CVS Pharmacy Parking Lot in Walnut Creek located at the
Intersection of Olympic & California Blvds at
0745 hrs. Our plan is to leave Long’s at 0800 hrs, SHARP!
If you’d like to lead your own ride to the event, please, post it on our
YahooGroups website. ( http://www.bkca7.com )
FYI: The
police escorted ride begins at 1000 hrs, SHARP and
will last approximately 90 minutes.
There will be coffee, pastries, and juice provided in the morning. After the ride, there’ll be bag lunches, soft
drinks and water provided. After lunch,
the “Celebration of Life” will begin,
where you’ll meet some young survivors and learn what’s being done to cure and
treat that horrible disease from the experts.
Wear
your chapter vest with pride to this event!
