Rider Activities March, 2013
Scheduled Ride: There was no scheduled ride again this month due to the perversity of climate changes caused by global warming. No, just kidding! It’s just typical spring weather in New Mexico.
Unscheduled Ride: On March 2nd American Legion Riders from all over the Southwest part of New Mexico gathered at the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope (MVCH) facility in Las Cruces to provide aid and support to homeless veterans living in temporary shelter. The Riders met with the veterans offering needed help and advice to reintegrate their lives such as recovering important military documentation and separation papers.
There were seven veterans, ranging in age from about 30 to 82 years old, living at the shelter of tents, known as Camp Hope, at the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope. The Riders took local veterans to a Wal-Mart Supercenter in the afternoon to help each purchase clothing items, including jeans, shirts, socks and shoes, as well as hygiene products, from body wash and deodorant to shaving cream and razors. They also treated the veterans to lunch at a local restaurant.
