On
Saturday August 26,2006 we are holding a prayer rally and ride against
violence .We are looking forward to organizing one of the largest
gathering of motorcycle and car clubs ever, to bring awareness to the
rise in violent crime in our city and state. This event is being held
to gather people from all communities and all walks of life together in
an unified effort to show that we care about our neighborhoods and that
we are not going to just sit back and let the criminal element rise and
take over. We are going to show that we are ready and more than willing
to take a stand so that our children might feel safe in their
neighborhood, community centers, parks, streets and schools.

This
event will bring awareness to the violence that has been plaguing our
communities and hopefully bond friends and neighbors to encourage them
to take a stand and utilize their voice in the community to make a
positive change.
