Thank you to all of our participants and vendors who came out on a very damp, and sometimes downright wet day on Sunday for the 2011 Blessing of the Bikes.  We managed to raise a little bit of money for our vendors and charities!

In case you missed it, those vendors were:

Lilo’s Promise Animal Rescue

Kimberiche Bags and Purses

Children’s Learning Centers

Pemberton Lodge #199

The pictures of the day can be found here.

We do have some extra Blessing of the Bikes shirts available as well!

As of this moment, the Blessing of the Bikes is STILL scheduled to happen.  According to each of the various weather reports, we will either be dry or soaked.  I wish I could guess at my job..  Each rider needs to decide if they are comfortable with a rain or shine event and govern themselves accordingly.

If anything changes, the information will appear here first.

The Flier

On June 30th, 2010 nine enthusiastic Traveling Men met with the New Jersey Grand Chapter (Mt Holly) to become New Jersey’s 4th Chapter of the Widows Sons. Focusing on Masonic Awareness, Charity, and most importantly, fun, we hope to grow our numbers, and have a great time doing so.
