Hello friends of HGS. On Friday November, 18 we are holding a Bike Race for charity. The charity we are donating to is the Lorton Community Action Center. This event will be held at 1:00 pm at Fort Hunt Park. The activities will end at 4:30. We ask that you bring a bag of non perishable food- especially rice, cereal, or canned fruit to be donated. Even peanut butter, jelly, cooking oil or any kind of snack foods would be greatly appreciated. Multiple races are taking places and you can participate in whichever you would prefer. The choices include biking in costume, with a person in tow, and for speed. We ask that you RSVP by email-ing us at [email protected] with your name and your races of interest. We hope to see you there!
