Chairperson for Letters from Home Dice Run.

Sunday August 16, 2009 Letters from Home Annual Dice Run was a huge success with 298 riders showing up to show their support to the troops on a beautiful hot & sunny day. Also - a big surprise to all in attendance was when Nick Childs of St Marys and his parents arrived to draw the winner of the raffle ticket. Nick is currently on leave from the United States Army currently serving in Afghanistan. The picture shows Nick with his proud parents right before the drawing. The winners of the Harley Davidson raffle ticket were as follows:

1 st place : Dawna Klaiber of Ridgway PA who took the $10,000 instead of the Harley Sportster.

Her presentation of the check will be Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at the Letters from Home Headquarters on Center Street in St Marys at 6:30 pm.

2nd place: Bryant Atwell of Kenaerdell PA won the $1000.

3rd place: Tom Szakelyhibi of Punxsutawney won the $100 gift certificate at the Dubois Harley-Davidson.

Rick Means of Brockway PA was the winner of $100 in our early bird drawing of the Harley ticket.

Letters from Home would like to thank all the sponsors and everyone who showed up to make the support of our program so successful for the troops to have a Letter from Home package this Christmas. Letters from Home would like to recognize Carrie and Alvin Shutters for chairing the event.
