The San Mateo Harley Owners Group’s 5th Annual Police Activities League (PAL) Motorcycle Poker Ride May 30 raised $23,520 to support the youth of Redwood City.
178 motorcycle enthusiasts, escorted by Coastal Motors LLC, left Peninsula Harley-Davidson in Redwood City on a 100 mile ride through the hills, over Skyline Boulevard to the coast, and then back to the dealership in Redwood City. San Mateo County Sheriff and Highway Patrol officers lent their support by controlling traffic and guiding the motorcyclists through intersections along the poker route. Back at the dealership, the riders enjoyed lunch, a live band and the drawing for raffle prizes.
Local sponsors of the event included DPR Construction and Redwood General Tire.
The Redwood City PAL is a nonprofit community based organization providing intervention, prevention, and alternative programs to at-risk and economically challenged youth in Redwood City. For more information, visit www.redwoodcitypal.com.

Fitch makes Eagle Scout
Joey Fitch, a Senior at Aragon High School and a member of Boy Scout Troop 47 in Foster City, recently completed his community service project for the rank of Eagle Scout, scouting’s highest honor that only 3 percent of scouts ever achieve.
Joey’s project consisted of going door-to-door and requesting donations of jackets, sleeping bags and/or blankets for the San Mateo County Homeless Shelter Network.
After a weekend of distributing collection bags and flyers, Joey returned the following week end and was able to collect over 500 items, well surpassing his projected goal.
On Friday, July 3, Joey delivered over 70 bags of collect items to the Shelter Network.
Joey has been involved in the scouting program since the age of 6 when he started as a Tiger Cub. As a Boy Scout, Joey has served as a patrol Leader and has continued to be a role model for younger scouts. Joey maintains a 4.2 GPA, is a member of the school’s Varsity Football Team, and plays basketball for a recreational league.
