Summer Hummer Report

by Betty Roberge

If you haven’t made your plans to come to the Hummer yet, now’s the time. We’re only a few weeks away from one of the biggest ABATE fundraisers of the year. What do we do with the money we raise, you ask? We put it to good use fighting for motorcycle rights. If you’re not into the Hummer itself, aren’t you into preserving your riding rights? Support the cause. Support ABATE. Come to the Hummer. After the year that we’ve just had, you deserve it.
