Hello;

My name is Doug Kline, a member of the Lancaster Sunrise Rotary Club in Lancaster, Pa. It is once again time for our annual "Ride for Literacy" cycling event. Rotarians take great pride in providing humanitarian services and encouraging high ethical standards to help build goodwill and peace throughout the world. This is one of our many events we look forward to hosting every year.

Clubs & Groups: The Ride for Literacy has always been very fortunate to have strong local club participation. Over the years we’ve seen a steady increase in out-of-town club participation.

Companies: What a perfect opportunity to turn the day into a day of health & wellness with co-workers. Some companies have used the event as a kick-off to a summer-long commitment to health & wellness within their organization. Consider recommending Ride for Literacy to your employer.
