Machinists District Lodge 4 are seeking sponsors for IAM’s Eastern Territory 4th Annual Kourpias K-9 Classic on July 28th through July 30th. This year’s charity motorcycle will showcase the four corners of Maine. Participants will fire up their machines in Kittery and the adventure will conclude in Newry, for a total of roughly 1,000 miles of scenic Maine. All money raised will go to Guide Dogs of America/Tender Loving Canines, which provides free seeing eye dogs to individuals who are visually impaired and rehabilitation facility dogs and service dogs for veterans and children with autism.
