BLUE KNIGHTS®

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.  To watch a short movie clip that’ll show an overview of the event, click on http://ride4kids.org/ and click “Watch our PSA”.

By now, I hope you’re familiar with the event and where your donations will be spent.  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.  Finally, if you cannot attend the event, make a contribution at my website (www.firstgiving.com/CaptJohn)  and list the BK CA VII as your club and list your favorite dealer, too.  The club that accumulates the most contributions on my website, will receive 100% of my funds credited to their club and favorite dealership.  The club and dealership with the most donations the day of the ride will receive a beautiful plaque in appreciation of their efforts for the children.

There are two ways you can join CA VII for the San Francisco Bay Area Ride for Kids on the 29^th.  1^st you can ride directly to the Pleasanton Middle School and pay your $35 registration for the ride, which will run 0800-0945 hrs.  2^nd any member or friend of the Chapter that would like to join me for the ride to Pleasanton on June 29^th should meet me at one of the following location and time: Marie Callender’s aka Long’s Parking Lot in Walnut Creek at the Intersection of Olympic & California Blvds at 0730 hrs.  My plan is to leave Long’s at 0745 hrs, SHARP!  If you’d like to lead your own ride to the event, please, post it on the YahooGroups website.

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.

If you’d like to be an escort and have one of the children ride with you on your motor, email me for details and I’ll email you the proper forms. Wear your colors with pride!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at jfredrik@pacbell.net

Ride with Pride and I’ll see you on the 29^th.                     John Fredriksson
