We were in the local paper...

Last month we were noted in the local paper, along with the other 10 town residents who are participating in the PMC.

More recently, six town residents who are volunteering their time and skills to the PMC during the ride weekend were also noted.

I was pleased to see that our local paper recognizes both volunteers and riders - we riders can't do anything without the volunteers. Without the riders, there's no event to volunteer for.  I'm very happy that our town paper recognizes both groups equally. The volunteers don't get enough recognition (that I see, anyway - we get a lot of "thanks" for doing the ride from our supporters along with a donation). However, during the ride weekend, if you thank a volunteer (as a rider) for volunteering, they simply turn it around on you and thank you for riding.  But really, it's the volunteers that make the ride happen - they make it possible, they make it successful, they make it safe and they make it fun.  They also make it so that 100% of the money we riders raise goes straight to the Jimmy Fund.
