Summer Party 2011 SAVE THE DATE

Saturday July 23, 2011 - We are busy planning this year's summer party.  How about a carnival on the grounds of Calvary Chapel of Spokane at 511 West Hastings Road? (Thanks Allison Howell for arranging this generous donation) There will be games, prizes, a jumping castle, karaoke and we are just getting started.

 

And at the end of the day, the Inland Empire Motorcycle Coalition will end their annual ride for kids with cancer at Calvary. Parking lot rides in the sidecars will also be available.

Stay tuned.......
