 Ladies of Harley
2nd Annual Pathways for Women Charity
The Ladies of Harley will be holding their second annual
Pathways for Women charity and our sponsor has deemed February as Pathways for
Women month at the Barn. Pathways for Women in Edmonds is a local non-profit
women and children’s shelter sponsored through the Y.W.C.A. It depends on a
continual stream of donations from people like yourself in order to operate and
give needed shelter to women and their children who have been in physically
abusive relationships and/or families.
The Ladies of Harley will be helping up to 13 families
currently sheltered at Pathways for Women. When these women and children escaped
their ordeal, they arrived at the shelter with nothing more than the shirts on
their backs. Each resident is given what is most needed from donations collected
by Pathways to start over. When they are ready to leave Pathways, they get to
take all donations they have received with them to be a part of their new
beginning.
This will be a ladies only function for lady riders and
lady passengers being held on March 24th, 2001. We will be meeting at the Cycle
Barn at 9:00 to load vehicles with donations, (men are welcome to participate at
the Barn), and leaving approximately 10:45 or so in order to reach the local
facility at 11:00.
We have been asked by the facility to have ladies only
deliver the collected donations due to the confidentiality and sensitivity of
the residents and their situations. All lady passengers are being asked to
participate as our Ambassadors by transporting what is collected, and being the
first of our group to arrive, followed by any riders.
How can you help donate?
Choose items from the list supplied. The items on this
list are what the facility deems most needed. You should deliver your donation
to The Cycle Barn before March 24th, 2001. The collection area at The Cycle Barn
is over by the Parts Department. Pathways for Woman are asking the Ladies to
contact them prior arrival with an approximate amount of donations so they will
have a proper amount of space set aside to collect our donations.
Your donated gifts are tax deductible. Should you want a
receipt for tax purposes, please tape your name and address to the outside of
your donation. Pathways for Women will see that a receipt is sent directly to
you.
Please...donate only items they can use and no trashy or
unlisted items. The Ladies of Harley have to go through all donations prior to
delivery to rid of trashy and unlisted, unusable items which becomes a timely,
undesirable task. Thank you very much for helping the Ladies of Harley touch the
lives of women and children in need within our community.
