<p> </p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">This event will go - rain or shine.</span></p>

<p> </p>

<p>We have decided to make this event a "Yellow Ribbon Run" because the yellow ribbon is recognized a having several meanings, two of which are important to our club at this time. The yellow ribbon will be displayed to "Support Our Troops" to remember and honor the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country. The yellow ribbon is also the symbol of the <a href="http://www.yellowribbon.org" rel="external nofollow">Suicide Awareness campaign</a> and we'll display it to remember and pay our respects to our friend, Jaysen "JustJAY" Kim.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Celia Seminario has graciously offered to provide yellow vinyl ribbons that you can place on your car for this run.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Mike and Hannah Syfritt of Aesthetic Creations, friends of JustJAY have also provided a bunch of oversized yellow vinyl ribbons for this event as well.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This is not a charity run, you won't be asked for donations and none will be accepted, it's a run to remember and a run to have fun.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>--------------------------------------------------------------------</p>

<p> </p>

<p>We have a route laid out for this run that will take us through some scenic areas, we'll hit some twisties and we'll pass through several areas of historic significance in our nations history. Route sheets will be handed out at Wegmans and we'll have a short meeting for drivers, navigators and passengers before we roll.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Due to the cost of the Bavarian Inn and the desire to keep the group together, the lunch plan has changed. Lunch will be a "Boots and Bonnets" feast that meets the dietary, nutritional and financial needs of everyone involved. Since I created this term on the fly - it does mean "bring what you want" and we'll also be stopping at a grocery store/deli along the route.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>A couple of things to remember please:</p>

<p>Headlights or Daytime Running lights on.</p>

<p>Rear Fogs off</p>

<p>Radios will be on 7/21</p>

<p> </p>
