On July 10, seven members of the Mt. Vernon Senior High School Chapter drove to Bedford, Indiana to cook lunch for the Long Reach Long Riders. The Long Reach Long Riders, who first road coast to coast ending at the USITT Annual Conference in Long Beach in 2004 recently concluded their third motorcycle journey. This year's ride supported both Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the Behind the Scenes. In addition to chapter members and sponsor Dana Taylor, also helping out were Charles Julius, technical director of Evansville Civic Theatre, and Jenni and Katie Taylor.
Bill Sapsis noted in his blog, "The ride over to Bedford was longer than we anticipated, (It felt like the closer we got to Bedford the longer it took to get there) and we were an hour late. But the food was delicious and the break in the ride was greatly appreciated. They had rented a picnic shelter in the Otis City Park. We ate; we hung around; we relaxed. Many, many thanks to all of you for such a good time."
The chapter makes a donation each year to the ride and is pleased to have been able to do a little more this year. |
