APPLAUSE
Local residents got some exercise and raised money for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association at the same time recently. MDA supporters gathered at
Green Hill Park in Salem for the 1995 MDA Great Walk and generated funds to
help purchase wheelchairs, provide monthly medical clinics, run a summer youth
camp and underwrite worldwide research. Tracie McKenney, program services
coordinator for MDA, said the organization really appreciated Cory Everson's
willingness to provide gift certificates valued at $1,067. She said people
should remember that all donations are tax deductible.
Honk the next time you see a Hog because Harley-Davidson owners who are
members of the statewide Harley Owners Group raised $4,000 for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association at their recent rally held in Roanoke. Harley owners
tried their luck at casino tables and later bid for items at a charity
auction.
