Sunday
morning, September 30th could not have been a more beautiful day for the
First Annual "Think Globally/Ride Locally" bike ride/walk that
was held for the benefit of the "Lost Boys of the Sudan ". The
Assabet River Rail Trail through Hudson and Marlboro served as a lovely
backdrop for a multi-community event. Thanks to those who pulled this
event together. Mary Kerr, AnnMarie Sivret, Brian Walsh, and Janet Wheeler
for publicity, website, flyers, and focus. Dorothy Sonnichsen for working
the registration table and Peggy Mangin-Cross for our morning coffee!
Jim Wheeler for his engineering creativity in sign design/placement. Laureen
DeBenedetto's Embroidery & More did a beautiful job creating the T-shirts
and the Mulready Elementary School in Hudson was the perfect location
for the start and finish. And, special thanks to Santino, John, Ayuen,
Majok, Gai Yol, Dan, and Peter for walking/riding and providing good conversation
and encouragement along the way.
