(Community Matters) breakfast with my friend Charlotte Hale yesterday who reminded me the Hill Country Ride for AIDS is this month, April 28th.

Over the years, the Ride has raised $4.5mm, now averaging nearly $700k, attracting 600 participants last year – they’re hoping for 700 riders and 200 volunteers this year.
