In Memory of Bobbi Schrader - A Benefit for Diabetes Research

The Bow Tie Tavern in Alpine Township is known for the many fund raising program it sponsors each year, and the first one in 2011 is co-sponsored with the Sparta Fraternal Order of Eagles to raise funds and awareness for  Diabetes Reseach.

The benefit comes at the request of Bobbi Schrader, a long time resident and friend to many, who passed away at the age of 74 on February 4, 2011.  The event "Ride for the Cause" started with breakfast at the Bow Tie Tavern for many bike riders who, after making several stops ended up at the Fraternal Order of Eagles for a dinner, a Chinese raffle, bake sale,  and entertainment by Eye to Eye, the Bimini brothers, and the Gordon Thayer Band.

Some of the participants, friends and family of Bobbi Schrader came early to volunteer preparing the breakfast
