draw a playing card at the last
stop of the 6th annual Guide
Dogs Dash held Aug. 25. Forty
riders participated in the 130-
mile ride, which started and
ended at Machinists District
W24’s hall in Gladstone. In be-
tween, riders made stops to
draw cards at The Viewpoint in
Estacada, Sundowner in Mo-
lalla, Dial Station and Straw-
berry Barn near Silver Falls,
and Mt. Angel Sausage Com-
pany in Mt. Angel.
Afterwards, riders enjoyed a
barbecue, drawings for prizes,
and music by The Del Ranchos.
Poker run winners were
Perry Moore, with a full house,
and Shirley Satter, with an ace high flush. The low hand went to
Darrell Hall with a pair of twos. The event raised $4,000 for Guide
Dogs of America. Guide Dogs was founded by the International Association of
Machinists in 1948 in Sylmar, California to provide guide dogs free of charge to
the blind community. The organization depends solely on voluntary donations,
bequests, and fundraising events, such as the motorcycle poker run.
The poker run was sponsored by Machinists Lodge 63, in conjunction with
Machinists District W24.
