Event named for former President (and biker) Howard Stiefer
It’s happening May 18 and it’s going to be a barnburner.
The “Howard Stiefer Memorial Rally,” sponsored by IBEW Local 1245, will feature a motorcycle rally, poker run, raffle and barbecue picnic at Weakley Hall in Vacaville. The grand prize is a 2013 Harley-Davidson, or cash equivalent.
The event is named in honor of Howard Stiefer (1947-2010), the former president of Local 1245 and a long-time biker himself.
“We have a lot of members who are bikers, and have a lot of fun doing it. The Howard Stiefer Memorial Rally will be a chance to get out on the open road with a bunch of union brothers and sisters who share a passion for biking,” said Business Manager Tom Dalzell. “And it’s also a way to give back to the community.”
The ride costs $30 for single riders and $40 for two-up riders or vehicles. The 650 raffle tickets will be sold for $40 each. All proceeds go to area charities.
“A brand new Harley-Davidson is a pretty cool prize,” said Local 1245 Business Representative Brian Kapaun, who is helping organize the rally. “And you don’t have to ride to participate in the raffle and you don’t have to be present to win. You can buy tickets from your business rep or out at the union hall. We’ll sell them at the rally, too—if there are any left.”
The rally starts at 9:00 in the morning at Weakley Hall, 30 Orange Tree Circle, in Vacaville and ends at the same location. T-shirts will be provided for all riders and will also be available for purchase at the hall. There will be pastries beforehand and a barbecue picnic after the ride.
So grab your skid lid and come on out to Vacaville to enjoy the action!
