WATERS OF HOPE RIDE AROUND IOWA
May
1-May 10th. A 1,000 mile bike ride to raise funds for clean water for
Swaziland and Sudan. Our Rector will ride partway (right now from Algona
to Mason City with no problem. If training goes okay then Spirit Lake to
Mason City. 113 miles. YIKES). Join her! Find out more at ~ Or, if you prefer, consider sponsoring the Rector and all from St. John's who will ride with a contribution. Put a check in the altos basin, or a cash offering in an envelope, marked as "Waters of hope." Plus, WATERS OF HOPE will be landing in Mason City on May 6th, and we will offer them support such as a nice meal in the parish hall, or lodging. Speak with Ann Papouchis or Wendy if you'd like to help. We will be looking for those who might let riders use showers at their homes, to help prepare food: a dinner (all are invited to this communal meal the evening they arrive), a light breakfast, portable lunches. We will also hope for a couple volunteers with cars willing to escort the riders to their next destination, Waterloo. WANT TO RIDE? Join the Rector for part of the day, from Algona to Mason City! Please speak with her if you are interested. |
