To: A Hopeful Rider in our New Braunfels/Comal County Crime Stoppers “Fun Run”

The TENTH ANNUAL New Braunfels/Comal Co. Crime Stoppers Fun Run is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 26, 2008 (rain date is Saturday, May 10^th). Formally known as the Poker Run, this renamed popular motorcycle rally is set with the last bike out of the New Braunfels Police Dept. front parking lot (1488 S. Seguin St.) at 9:00AM that morning. Riders may begin registering at 8:00AM. Refreshments will be provided. Four- wheelers are welcome too!

This event is currently the nonprofit organization’s main fundraising event to finance its administrative needs. All Crime Stoppers tip rewards paid out are funded by fees assessed persons found guilty of offenses in the court system. These fees are not largely available for running the program. Crime Stoppers is a community-based program designed to assist law enforcement in solving criminal cases. Area news outlets run weekly “Crimes of the Week” releases to spotlight selected cases.

Crime Stoppers will pay cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of individuals responsible for the commission of felony offenses. All calls are confidential and the caller will remain anonymous. Crime Stoppers also offers a “Quick Two Hundred” program, for tips which lead to the arrest of persons with outstanding felony warrants. The informant is given a code number, and never asked to give their name.

This year’s estimate hopes to see over 150 cycles at the rally. The ride concludes at the River Road Ice House located off the ever so popular River Road, just outside New Braunfels. Participants will be treated to a BBQ dinner with all the trimmings. The price is $25 for pre- registered riders, $30 the day of the run, and $5 for passengers. This includes the meal, tour pin, and special door prize drawing.

The Crime Stoppers board has some great prizes for our riders, donated by area businesses. Without the support of our great community, this event would not be the continuing success that it is. For more Fun Run information, call Crime Stoppers coordinator Tim Kolbe at (830) 608-8260 or Crime Stoppers President Teresa Simpson at 830-620-3411. Please complete the enclosed pre-registration form and return by April 22, 2008. We hope all who rode last year, will be able to do so again… and bring a friend for a great ride!

Sincerely,

Board Members of your New Braunfels/ Comal County Crime Stoppers Program
