Charitable work appreciated

With all the conflict in the world today it is refreshing to know that there really are some good things to celebrate. One such thing is the SouthWest Freedom Riders organization of motorcycle enthusiasts based in Rutland. In 2005 they raised over $33,000 and gave it all to eleven local charities.
In February '06 they held "Operation: Call Home" at the Fairwood Lanes in Fair Haven where they raised $1,000 to buy phone cards for Vermont troops stationed away from home. Their schedule of fund-raising events for '06 has grown even more. Good work SWFR, keep it up, and thank you.
