Hi Guys,

We are putting together a Fundraiser for Roger's defense fund.
He is a two tour Vietnam War Vet that is facing deportation.
You can find more about Roger here:

It will be an all you can eat BBQ hosted by Chef's from Califia Restaurant and the Elephant Bar. Good food, plenty of fixings and the 20 bucks go to Roger's defense fund.

We will also have a silent auction with lots of diverse stuff.
Repsol Replica Helmet
Repsol Team shirt
Flat screen TV
Beatles books
Rare wines and lots more..!

Noon to 5PM.

Fred's Place
2534 Old Middelfield Way
Mt. View, CA 94043

Fred's Place will also donate proceeds from the event on beverages to Roger's Fund as well.

We may be auctioning off a few items as well including Roger's Vinage Harley Panhead that is part way restored. We don't want to yet.. but we may have to. Time is short to help keep Roger in the Country he served and loves.

If you cannot make it and wish to donate, we will have something set up for that soon.

Please pass this link to other Veteran Groups, current service people and your friends.

Kids cannot come into Fred's but can hang out back..bring some chairs and have some fun too. We are trying to get some music going and have some other stuff out back as well similar to when we had our barf racing party there back in '04.. damn.. long time ago.

I will update this thread with additional info and stuff we are going to do..

Roger sits in jail.. we need to spring him.. we need some help to provide the legal support for that.. so we :party

For Roger :Port

I won't be able to make it that weekend. Can I still donate for the cause?
 
An awesome cause, and its local!! Looks like I'll be coming back from Laguna early for this! :Port
 
We will have a paypal donation deal soon..

3 of us are chipping in a grand on Monday to get the attorney engaged.. hopefully.
They wanted 5 K up front.. but we are hoping that the 3 will kick them loose and the fundraising will be successful to pick up the pieces.. the early estimate is 10K for their services.

Thanks guys,

its fucking terrible whats happening to that guy, I;ve had a few friends sent home,cant come back to the states again,and for that man to do 2 tours its fucked up,you look at them gang members in sf and they can stay here, the law is fucked up in this country,
 
:party I'll be there - I assume it's rain or shine. :bbq

We'll hold a raffle, so if you have any good items to donate, please chime in!

One of the big prizes is any - yes, ANY - trackday of your choosing in either 2009 or 2010 by The Track Club! :applause

More the better.. as said.. we are inviting back the News stations.. in my conversations with the legal folks the more coverage there the better..

I really want to see a bunch of Military folks represented.. so if you know groups or have email list etc.. please let me know..

I have a guy tracking down every VFW post in the bay area.. and I know there is a bike group that does funerals for our service folks locally.. any tips are so welcomed!!

I'm working on my confirmation still. I should have it in two days. If it all goes well, I'll get it out to my vet list that rides, which is very large. We provided an escort two weeks ago for returning Marines coming home from Iraq and had over a hundred bikes in column of twos. That was with a 1 week notice.
