They're back!


Lois & Dennis are back, safe and sound, after their 400-mile bicycle trek for Harbor House.

They, along with Pat Adams providing SAG support, left Wednesday morning and went riding...and riding...and riding. Welcome back you all.

From Pat: Lois & Dennis have done a great job of pedaling this week – they make Kiwanis proud. I was glad to have been able to again be a member of the support team for the 60 riders pedaling 400 miles for Harbor House.

This is the 12th annual ride, if we meet our projected goal this year’s ride will push the cumulative total donated to HH through this event to over 1 million dollars!!!

From Larry: It was inspiring to watch the last couple of hundred yards of the ride today. The crowd lined the narrow roadway cheering the riders on for that final push.

This was Dennis's seventh ride and he told me that contrary to that old saw of "old dogs" and "new tricks" he finds the ride easier with each passing year.

The group raised over $100K this year. A blessing on the three of you for the sacrifice you made to make the lives of Ocean County youngsters better by offering them hope in desperate situations. And on your families for their sacrifice. I am proud of all three of you.

Hey all,

I saw that Lois's photo with son Stevan was on the APP.com Website. The photos is at http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=B3&Date=20080713&Category=MULTIMEDIA02&ArtNo=807130803&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=5
Way cool, Lo!
