The

Gold Wing Road Riders Association, chapter P,

Fayetteville, recently took a van load of school

supplies and toys to the Thornwell Home and

School for Children in Clinton, S.C.

The

Presbyterian home houses children from Georgia,

Florida and South Carolina. Thornwell is a home

for 110 children ranging in age from 18 months to

19 years.

Eight

members of chapter P rode their Honda motorcycles

to the school with two of them

"four-wheeling" it; that is they drove

a van holding all the school supplies collected

from members. Three members had attached a

motorcycle trailer to also hold the supplies.

Chandra

Coleman, director of sponsorship for Thornwell,

said in a letter to the chapter, "When we

had sorted out all the school supplies, we found

that we will have enough to get us through the

rest of the school year."

Chapter

P director Bob Wakeham said, "We try to

participate in as many charity events as we can.

This summer, we participated in the Ride for Kids

Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, an organization

devoted to discovering the cause and cure of

childhood brain tumors.

"Our

chapter was the second highest contributor in

Georgia, turning in over $15,000 for this annual

event."

Chapter

P meets each third Saturday night at the IHOP in

Fayetteville. Dinner is at 6 p.m. and the meeting

starts at 7 p.m. For information phone Wakeham at

678-364-1862.
