To the Editor:
On July 13, 2024, the St. Lawrence Valley Chapter of the American Legion Riders Post #925 Norfolk held their 19th annual charity motorcycle ride to benefit the local Literacy Is For Everyone (LIFE) and Helping Hands programs. They were able to raise $5,193, which will be split between the two recipients. This achievement would not have been possible without the generous support of their host, American Legion John Adams, Jr. Post 925 in Norfolk.
