This ride will be part of a benefit for Dave and Donna Baloga, an amazing family going through some very tough times. The point of this ride is to add a little excitement to the existing benefit. We will be leaving from Our Lady of Victory Church,with 1/2 of the bikes traveling to the LEFT around the lake and the other 1/2 to the RIGHT.
We will continue 1 1/2 times around the lake, with both groups arriving at Sandy Beach together.
In addition…there will be a fund raiser on Aug 16th at the lake side skillet for Dave and Donna Baloga. That event starts at 7 and will go until 9. Cost for that is also 15 dollars. Checks can go to Friends of Donna and Dave Baloga, 60 Oak Dr Dallas PA. 18612.
Dave and Donna might be from a different party but we’ve always enjoyed the get togethers talking politics.We wish them the best.

We wish him the best.
MULTI CULTURAL CELEBRATION A SUCCESS
The first ever Wilkes Barre Multi cultural celebration took place this last week. Good food, good crowds permeated the air in Wilkes Barre last weekend. As I told Wilkes Barre City Controller, “God willing, next year I’m driving in that parade!”

Dave Baloga is good people and so is Jason Zubris. Much love to both families.
And why would anyone care to see David Yonki driving in the W-B Multicultural parade?

IN RESPONSE
Here's why. I never really appreciated the impact parades have on a community or the message that it imparts.
In the last few years I have been asked to drive in a few and the way people respond to their community was eye opening.
This first event was a reflection of the new melting pot that has come to NEPA. It should be celebrated and embraced and as a member of this community, I want to be a part of it and help.
Obviously I cannot march but I can drive people in it.
I bring it up because had I not had a conflict this year I'd have been there.
My life, for good or bad won't change if anyone cares.
But thanks for the question and thanks for reading.
Gee, did someone's itty bitty feelings get hurt?
