Rev up for Lab Ride V and support charities

Calling all motorcycle riders: prep your bikes now for Lab Ride V at noon, Tuesday, Nov. 11 (Veterans Day).

This year donations will support the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Armed Forces Veterans Association (LLLAFVA) scholarship fund for veterans and the Alameda County Firefighters Association continued support for "Hope for the Heart," an agency partner with the Alameda County Community Food Bank.

The "Hope for the Heart" warehouse in Hayward was destroyed by a fire at the end of July. The agency was helping 11,000 people per month before the fire, and is now supplying food out of semi-trucks.

The money collected from this year’s ride will be split 50/50 in support of these two organizations. A minimum of $20 per person is requested, but additional dollar donations would be appreciated by both organizations. A special door prize will be a flag that flew over the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, donated by Al Villa.

Employees will stage at Outer Loop Road, east of Bldg. 671, and non-employees may meet at the Discovery Center parking lot off of Greenville and East Gate.

To join the ride, contact sheppard1 [at] llnl.gov ( Ted Sheppard ) , 423-0787 or clements3 [at] llnl.gov ( Chelle Clements ) , 423-8134. For more information, see the flier .
