Coordinator Report

Well hello again everyone! 

 

We love you Ackerman’s!!! …. was the spirit during our Biker Bingo event that our chapter hosted benefiting the Ackerman family as they continue to cope and grieve the loss of Shelli Ackerman along with what seems to be an endless sea of medical needs for Low Rider (Loren Ackerman). It was awesome to see the turnout of support exceeding the 108 room capacity. Then even more humbled to hear that the event brought in through donations, auctions and raffles nearly $8,000.00!!!! While money can never put any ease to the hurt the Ackerman family is enduring with the loss of Shelli. It definitely will help provide a drop of support to a mountain of medical bills!  As a reminder if you still want to support the Ackerman Family you may go to www.lewiscountyabate.org and click the support link.

Along with our successful biker bingo we will be at Fullers Market on the 9th and 16th of November from 10am-4pm taking food and money donations that will directly benefit our Lewis County Food Bank Coalition. Our goal is to exceed 2tons of food to help support the needs of local members of our community.

Finally, I really wanna take a moment and thank each and everyone of our members that take time out of their days to join meetings, take on committees to support our chapter and provide a voice that helps guide our chapter in the directions needed. We know that our volunteer time comes as a personal feeling of appreciation but know that your efforts don’t go unnoticed and without you none of this is possible.

From me personally to each of you making this program successful…… THANK YOU!!!
