Recording-breaking CEM Fundraiser for Kids 'n Kinship!

On Saturday, Kids 'n Kinship participants and community members celebrated the successful return of the 2013 CEM 900 bike riders at Merchant's Bank in Apple Valley. A record-breaking $34,000 was raised this year to support the work Kids 'n Kinship does in the community, matching youth with caring adult mentors!  We are SO thankful for the dedication of the riders, their support team, and everyone at Elder Jones and Merchant's Bank who help make this annual fundraiser such a fabulous success!  Fun was had by all at the Welcome Home party.  We enjoyed cake & cupcakes, popcorn, hot dogs & root beer floats, as well as live music by the Dakota Brass Quintet!  The weather was perfect and smiles were all around as we welcomed home the bike riders.
