First Congo and the ACT Ride

Last night, at the First Congo All Boards Meeting, I pointed out that there were six members of First Congregational Church, and one regular visitor, that will be participating in the ACT ride this Thursday through Sunday. (I actually thought there were 5 and 1, but I was gently corrected). That is 7 folks associated with our church that have committed to raising at least $1200 each for AIDS Network, and are going to bike 300 miles in four days as part of their commitment. I think that is very exciting, and makes a strong statement about the commitment of the folks at our church to the community. Yes, I am one of the 7 folks, but if you know me, you knew that already.

The training for this event has been awesome. ACT has been holding 8 training rides per week for the past few months. I have been participating regularly, and can now accelerate up hills that almost killed me a couple of months ago. My fund raising has gone very well. As a rule, people have been very generous. Thanks again to all who contributed!
