The Mamon Ride for Special Needs Children, in town this past October for its Halloween Ride, goes north this weekend to build a new school.
The organization, led by Kaz Mamon, invites everyone to join in, motorcycle optional.
Registration is 9-11:45 a.m. at The Post, a bar on M-24 across from The Palace of Auburn Hills. The ride starts at noon, and will reach Camp Fowler in Mayville at about 1 p.m.
There, volunteers will construct a new school/nature center. The event will also feature lunch, entertainment, vendors, and raffle.
The Flint Labor and Construction Union is donating labor, and most supplies and materials have been donated, Mamon said.
‘I invite all families to come out to the camp,? he said. ‘There’ll be lots of things to do.?
Planned is an ‘Extreme Makeover? style reveal, featuring a giant motorcycle built by Ron Finch in place of the usual bus.
‘It’ll be ‘move that motorcycle,?? Mamon said.
Admission is a $10 donation for those older than 14 and 14 and under are free. Participation in the police-escorted ride is a $20 donation.
To make a donation, send checks to P.O. box 443, Clarkston, MI 48347. Make all checks payable to Fowler Camp, ‘Building of School House? in memo line.
