Yesterday, the River Cities Chapter of B.A.C.A., Bikers Against Child Abuse, hosted a "Taste of Louisiana" cook off to raise funds for their chapter which supports abused children in our area. Scot's All American Cycles hosted the event at their shop on Benton Road in Bossier City. Kudos to them for supporting such a great cause.
The mission of B.A.C.A. is as follows:
"Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle."
I spoke to one B.A.C.A. member, Keith McClung, and he told me this: "There was a little girl here today that we helped out, and I remember when we first met her, she was shy, held her head down and was withdrawn. Today, she held her head high and had a big smile on her face. Seeing that is what it's all about; when I see the children, I know that I'm in the right place, doing what I'm supposed to do in the motorcycle community."
River Cities B.A.C.A. "The essential to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Considering and consuming our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing spending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". raised thousands of dollars today to support their mission, and it is through the support and generous donations of all riders in the area that they are able to continue to help the children. I am proud to be able to support my B.A.C.A. friends, and on their behalf, thank all my readers who attended the event and made donations.
