Volunteers Needed for Ride To Remember

The 11th Annual Ride To Remember is Saturday, April 29.

The GCC provides support to this ride by planning, painting, and signing the route, by doing registration, and by providing insurance coverage. We're looking for a few folks to put out and pick up signs before and after the event; contact Roger Pierce if you are able to help. Many thanks to Bruce and Margaret Berry for painting the blue Dan Henry's that mark the route.

Proceeds of the event support Al'z Place, a day care facility for Alzheimers patients.  Many riders ride in support of a friend or loved one who is suffering from this disease.

Registration will is now open; GCC Members should use the link in the Members Area, non-members can register from the Ride To Remember information page.

(There are a few spaces left for the packet stuffing party on April 27; sign up in the Members Area, News page, third column.)
