____________________________________


Update to below  info.   Kickstands will be up around 9:00am Sunday morning, 
May  25th..  The media will be there at 8:30am, when they are through with 
what  they are doing, then we will be leaving.  We will be making a stop at the  
Love's north of Fort Sill (off hwy on the way to the Wichita Mountains) to gas 
 up for those that need to and to possibly pick up some more riders from the  
Lawton area, then we will be making another stop at the Love's at 89th street 
 and I-44 to meet up with some PGR riders from OKC area and then on to the  
Veteran's Hospital. 
 
The PGR has been asked to assist Project Jody ( _Click  here: Project Jody A 
Cadence for life | MyCommitment.org_ (http://www.mycommitment.org/node/403)  
_http://www.mycommitment.org/node/403_ (http://www.mycommitment.org/node/403)  
) in taking items to the  Oklahoma City Veterans Hospital.  Project Jody takes 
donated items on a  regular basis to the Veterans Hospital, but I thought 
this would be a great  PGR HOTH project to get involved in.  A lot of these 
veterans leave the  hospital to live in poverty and on the streets and need items 
to  survive.  Some needed items are Walkers, wheelchairs,  Athletic  shoes, 
T-shirts, caps, playing cards, bottled water, travel size or hotel  soaps, 
shampoos, lotion, toothpaste toothbrushes, socks, underwear, backpacks  among many 
other items.  
We will be meeting at the El Mejicano Restaurant parking lot (Missile  Road & 
I-44) at 8:00 am Sunday morning, May 25, 2008, with kickstands up  at 8:30.  
We are being asked to take a package, bag or small box on each  bike, so 
please bring something to strap it down with.  The rest of the  donated items will 
be taken on a trailer.  We will be taking I-44 all the  way, so there will be 
tolls.  We are hoping to make this an annual run,  so hopefully by next year 
we can work something out with the State of Oklahoma  on a break on the toll 
fees.  If you can bring some donated items that  would be great, but if not, 
please come ride with us.  We have been  invited to visit with the veterans in 
the hospital, so we will be spending  some time there before heading back home, 
but everyone should be home before  dark.  
Hope to see you Sunday morning!!
 
Thanks
