Our main destination is Graceland and we plan to arrive on 6\/25\/08 for a 2-day stay. We will have a documentary filmmaker along for the ride, as this trip is about so much more than just getting to Graceland. It&#8217;s about our journey as women, a celebration of why we ride, and an homage to the rebels of yesteryear who saw the open road as an escape, a challenge, and a friend. The documentary will be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival in October 2008 for their 2009 season.<\/p>\n<p>When we reach Memphis, we&#8217;ll be stopping at Presley Place, a homeless shelter which is supported by Lisa Marie Presley and the Elvis Presley Foundation. While the dozens of parents at the shelter attend a Life Skills class, we&#8217;ll be babysitting their children &#8211; taking photos on the motorcycles, providing them with biker toys and leading a cooking class on &#8220;How to Make a Biker Meal.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solsistersmc.com\/events\/graceland08\/graceland08.html\">READ MORE ONLINE&#8211;><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And if you see them on the road, wish them a safe journey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although this is not related to welding in the least (unless some of these girlz [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-welding-fun","entry","fw-tab-6 fw-tabr-4"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
