Benefit Ride Poker Run August 16, 2008

We are a group of employees, both Union and Management, who like to ride motorcycles, for many causes. We have raised thousands of dollars through our many rides and among those rides we have ridden for:

Along with those of us who ride, we also have the support of our fellow employee’s and their generous contributions, along with the support of the volunteer work from the Veterans and Chaplaincy Committee as well as our Community Service and Civil Rights Committee who are always willing to help support our “Rides for a Cause”. Our Rides are Open to All, and All Bikes and Riders are Welcome at any of our rides.

This year we will be hosting a SOS poker run to raise money for our selected organizations.  The Poker run will begin at the Local 2250 Union Hall, same as last year, and we will ride approximately 100 + miles round trip.  Our stops have been mapped out to include stops at the local Amvet and VFW halls in the St Charles/Lincoln counties.  Beautiful scenery and leisurely ride with the last stop at the Wentzville VFW hall.  There will be music and hot dogs for the riders.  As we tally the winning hands we will have some speakers on behalf of the Armed Forces and the organizations we are supporting.

If you are unable to attend but would like

to contribute, checks can be made payable to:
