I want to thank everyone who participated in the Katie Ride yesterday especially under such heart felt circumstances.  It was an emotional moment when John D Jr. had a moment of silence at the Katie Memorial down in North Kingstown for our Brother John Reposa and all our Brothers and Sisters we've lost this past year.  I have to thank the road guards for such a great job keeping us all safe thru the ride and also to Coventry PD especially for notifying West Greenwich PD and they must have called North Kingstown PD also.  I especially have to thank Alan for testing our dirt bike riding skills.  (Sorry Alan couldn't resist.)  A thank you to Deb and Ray for handling the sign in table and Rico for pushing our raffle tickets.  Also a shout out to Tom Martino and his grandson for supplying the music.  If you left early you missed Tommy doing such a great job singing, who knew Tommy had such a voice.  As always a thank you to the Mason's for the use of the Hall and to our VP Paul for all his help.  It was a good time and it was great seeing our Brothers and Sisters from Massachusetts.  It was also great to see one of our past presidents, Dick Bellavance, who is up from Florida.  Once again a thank you to all who made this such a great event.
 
On another note if you could say a prayer for Jack's mother it would be greatly appreciated.  She is not doing to well so please keep Jack and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
As always, remember, "Its all about the ride" !!!
