Patriot Guard Riders,

The NERCC is coming up in 4 weeks, and we need to start thinking about our role in this largest fundraiser for the CT PGR and Somers FD. Volunteers are needed to set-up on Friday, 5 May 2017, and workers are needed all day on Saturday, 6 May 2017. Time to set-up is 0900 hrs (9:00 am) on Friday, the more people who show up, the sooner we get done. Saturday we should get there at 0900 hrs (9:00 am) also to have everything ready for the 1100 hrs (11:00 am) opening.Â

This is an important event for us to be able to provide funds for our heroes.
