Once again, Sky Valley Chapter of ABATE has given back to the community. On March 24, the chapter put on a dance for the Snohomish Community Food Bank and raised more than $100 plus 88 pounds of food. They are the motorcycle group that puts on the Sky Valley Bike Show in Snohomish every year on the third Sunday of May, this year on May 20. Recipients for the group’s donations include the Snohomish food bank, senior center, Delta Rehabilitation Center, and the group also traditionally adopts three families to provide a Christmas to them. The group of leather clad bikers wants people to know sometimes good guys wear black.
