It’
s happening May 17th and it’s going to be a fun event.
The “2nd Annual Howard Stiefer Memorial Rally,” sponsored by IBEW Local 1245, will feature a motorcycle rally, poker run, raffle and mid-afternoon meal at Weakley Hall in Vacaville. The grand prize is a 2014 Harley-Davidson, or cash equivalent.
The event is named in honor of Howard Stiefer (1947-2010), the former president of IBEW 1245 and a long-time biker himself.
“Many of our members bike, and have a lot of fun doing it. The Howard Stiefer Memorial Rally is a chance to get together with a bunch of union brothers and sisters who share a passion for the open road,” said Business Manager Tom Dalzell. “It’s also a way to give back to the community.”
The ride costs $40 for single riders and $75 for two-up riders or vehicles. The 650 raffle tickets will be sold for $40 each, with all proceeds going to local area charities.
“A brand new Harley-Davidson is a pretty cool prize,” said IBEW 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 May 17 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!
