A special thank you to Drew Alexander and all the folks at Rockville-Harley-Davidson on Airpark Road in Gaithersburg. They held their Open House on Sat., December 1 and invited us to set up a display table. In addition to lots of good food, our local fire station had a display, there were adorable domestic animals from a petting farm and Santa on a Harley! During the event, Second Chance was presented with a generous financial donation to support our work and help us through the slow winter months. Rockville Harley has been a long-time supporter and we very much appreciate their help.

Our Director, Chris, and Santa Claus!

...who came by and fixed our water heater and kitchen faucet for free! He runs E.Z.Riders which teaches people to ride motorcycles safely and owns Expert Welding & Co. (a mechanical contracting co. doing plumbing, electrical and other repairs). He has been very supportive.

Several businesses have allowed us to place donation cans thus allowing us to gather a few more donations and spread the word a little more. For a list of those businesses and their location, please go to the Donation Can Project page.

Constantine Pergantis of Nite Lites replaced most of our light fixtures with high efficiency florescent fixtures. He did the work at no charge and it will, hopefully, lower our electric bills. We would like to thank him for all his hard work and for donating his time and his fixtures!

Rockville Harley-Davidson on Airpark Rd. solicited donations for us at their open house holiday celebration on December 2nd. We want to thank them and those who donated for their support and generosity!
