Thanks for a successful benefit motorcycle ride

WILMINGTON — Thank you for the best benefit motorcycle ride event yet! Eighty-seven participants enjoyed the beautiful weather, the great ride, and the tasty chicken lunch. They rocked to Cadillac Envy and participated in our raffle. Together, we raised $3,625 for the Deerfield Valley Food Pantry!!

Huge thank yous go out to Valley View Saloon, Catamount Environmental, Inc., and Gray Ghost Inn for sponsoring this year's event; Jessica Butterfield for designing the T-shirt graphic; Rev. Jim Littrell and Rev. Fr. Ilayaraja Amaladass, HGN for the Blessings of the Bikes; and the 44 individuals and businesses who donated raffle prizes.

This is one of our biggest annual fundraisers, and your support is greatly appreciated.

Mark the date for next year's bike ride: Aug. 26, 2017.
