REVISED: Bikers with Boxes Charity Event

NOTE: This is not longer a ride, but chapter member participation is strongly encouraged!

Bring your childrens' gifts to the next Independence H.O.G. Chapter meeting on Tuesday, October 13 (packing them in a plastic grocery bag or similar is fine). Kenn will collect all the chapter members' donations and take them to the Billy Graham Library on Saturday, October 17. If you can't get your shopping done by the chapter meeting, meet Kenn at the Independence H-D dealership at 9:am Saturday and he will collect and pack your children gifts then.

This revision is being made so as not to compete with the Mount Pleasant ride scheduled that same Saturday but still allow us to participate in the organized charity event as a chapter. If you do want to ride with Kenn to the Billy Graham Library, that's cool too. Your choice....
