The second Poker Run fundraiser for COPE happened on September 26, 2009.  The weather  did not cooperate and we did not get what we had hoped to have (around 30 riders) BUT the party which started at 4:00 was great!  Many raffle prizes, food supplied by Gippers, and a band, “The Clients” made it a fun night for those who rode and those who just came to the “After the Poker Run Party”    Of course our favorite rider is “Lefty”  who comes with his partner to the rides.  What a  guy!

NEED FOSTER HOMES: For dogs(small or large) and cats.  If anyone is interested or have any questions regarding fostering, please call or email.  There are so many animals out there that we cannot help because we do not have enough foster homes.   Lois - ljd@cbcast.com (815-474-5204)
