 The Rotary District 6740 will be holding a motorcycle ride to end polio on Saturday, September 9th. One of Rotary International's ongoing initiatives is to eradicate polio from the world. So every year, Rotarians all around the world, 1.4 million of us, raise money to help eradicate polio. Are you ready for a new school year? What better way to start a new school year off right than with a new device on the network that keeps our students and teachers connected. Appalachian Wireless. Whether you need a new smartphone, wearable or an iPad, we have your back to school solution. Visit AppalachianWireless.com or go into one of our 26 retail locations for our back to school deals that will help you show up and show out this school year. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The ride, which will begin at Mindshaft Harley-Davidson in Pikeville, will host a number of fun activities like a silent auction, a 50-50 raffle, and will even have live music and food trucks at its conclusion at the Appalachian Wireless arena. Our district has never done a motorcycle ride for anything. We decided that we would try this event in Pikeville. The ride will be about an hour going out and an hour coming back. It's going to be just a great day for everybody, I think, plus raising money for a good cause. Registration for the ride will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 9th, and will cost $20 per bike and $10 per rider. All proceeds from the ride will go to the Rotary Foundation's Polio Plus program. For more information, you can visit the Pikeville Rotary Club Facebook page. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
