Lawride 2008 will take place Sunday, May 11, 2008

We are riding up again this year leaving on Thursday 8th of May before Mother's Day/Lawride the 11th on Sunday.

Anyone leaving from the south wanting to tag along should meet us at 95 and Rt. 50 7am Thursday morning. Just call or mail and let me know.

Thanks
Gary

FYI
There WILL NOT BE A PARR Lawride POKER RUN this year or in the years to come. PARR has decided it's just too much work. It's sad, but what can we do.

WE CAN DO THIS...

2008 DATE WILL BE MAY 10th

This will be done yearly the day before Lawride

(Started 2006 by Officer Lyons)

SOOO, starting this year 2006 for those interested, I will lead you on a country ride thru the back roads of the beautiful Virginia countryside. We will leave (weather permitting) from the Governor Motel on Arlington Blvd. (Rt-50) promptly at 10:00AM on Saturday May 13th and return sometime around 3PM the same day. Somewhere along the way we will stop and enjoy refreshments and good ole down home conversation. Again, everyone is invited, lets ride.
As always, thank you for supporting the "Lawride" and most importantly the National Law enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund. "if we don't Honor Them, who will."
