        As in previous years there will be a ride to Eldridge leaving from the Pelham area on Saturday morning. This year we will meet at Terry's Two Wheel for a warm up coffee and donuts prior to departure...Thanks Terry and Joan!

        Meet at Terry's at 8AM. We will have brief rider's meeting and depart shortly afterward for a meandering ride through the country. We will have a short riders meeting and take off in time to arrive in Eldridge by 11:30.

        I would like to invite you to ride with us and participate in this event. Lunch will be served and you will see a great ministry in action. There is no pressure or obligation to participate at any level other than being there. If you feel led to make a donation that is great. If you just attend this event (as Norwood says) I guarantee you will leave with a smile on your face and a warm heart!

        We will depart Eldridge in plenty of time to be back in the Pelham area and allow time to gussy up for the Christmas Party!!

        Please let me know either here or by email alabeemer@gmail.com if you plan to make it so Terry and Joan can get the right amount of refreshments ready for us. Right now I have Martin Benson, Terry Ware and myself on the list for sure....I hope you will make it to. Usually there is a great representation of the Jasper contingent there too. Who is in from Jasper? (no need to ride to Pelham...we'll just see you there! (like I thought you would...lol...)

        Sure it will be a little chilly Saturday morning but it promises to warm up and be a great riding day! All roads lead to Eldridge on the first Saturday of December!!
