Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5.
The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.
The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Her campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her beloved mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Anna’s mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she had started and to set aside a day to honor mothers, "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world." Anna's mother, Ann Jarvis, was a peace activist who had cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.

Ga-8 will be hosting a poker run on Saturday May 8 to benefit the family of 2 year old Cayson Whitfield from Millen, GA. Cayson has leukemia. He is also a relative of Brother Taz from Ga-1.
We will do registration beginning at 0930, last bike out at 1100. Sign in location is B&T Food Fresh Market in Millen, GA. located at the intersection of E Winthrope Ave and S Daniel St in Millen. Your GPS app may show it as a Bi-Lo store. Same place.
We planned this quickly, so details after sign-in may change but right now the plan is to go from Millen to Metter to Leather Love and Freedom in Vidalia, to another B&T store in Mt Vernon and end at Iron Eagle Pizza in Claxton. Brother Meh's band, Dead Man's Hand will be playing later in the evening at Iron Eagle. Tables go quick when they play there.
We hope to see a lot of Brothers out to help a small child with cancer who happens to be one of our own.
