Silvie's Ride Against Child Abuse
At the age of five and just having started kindergarten, Silven “Silvie” Iris Yocum became a fatal victim of child abuse on September 16, 2006. Silvie’s Ride on June 15 is in her honor and in remembrance of all children who have died because of child abuse or are living with abuse in their lives. “It is in her spirit of love that Silvie’s Ride is dedicated with the promise of sharing care and hope for many others,” said Silvie’s family. An all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet will be open to the public for $7.00 per person from 7:00 until 10:00 a.m. at the Elks Lodge, 401 South Deere Road, Macomb. Registration for the ride begins at 8:30 a.m. and continues until 10:30 a.m. at the Elks Lodge. A Blessing of the Bikes is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., followed by the start of the ride promptly at 10:30 a.m. A police escort will be provided for the group in the City of Macomb. All vehicles are welcome and pre-registration is not required. The entrance fee is $20 per vehicle plus $5 per passenger. After the ride, participants are encouraged to return to the Macomb Elks Lodge for dinner at 5:00 p.m., followed by a silent auction and $100 raffle. Proceeds from Silvie’s Ride will benefit victims/survivors of WIRC-CAA Victim Services. For more information about Silvie’s Ride, contact Jon Yocum at (309) 255-6927 or Kathy Yocum at (309) 255-0301.
