I got in touch with Mark Koelbel at KUTV. I'll try to copy and paste his response in this space for all to read.
Hi sherry,
Please e-mail me at the end of march and remind me of the event. I will do my best to get a crew there. In the meantime I will take you e-mail to one of our meetings and discuss the possibility of doing something before the event to highlight this program.
All the best...
p.s.
Mark Koelbel's KUTV "Ride for Life" leaves TIMP Harley on the morning of July 10th (sun) and goes to Wendover for a concert at Peppermill concert hall. 15,000 dollar poker run jackpot. Spread the word...more information coming soon on tv and radio.

Share Your Comments: Hi Mark, Do you remember when Timpanogas Harley opened and a bunch of us went on that ride on the "loop" to SLC? I was the one on the blue Ninja that looked a little out of place. Now that you may (or may not) have some idea of who I am, I will get down to why I'm writing. I am a student at UVU and in my Senior Seminar Class our assignment is to mentor troubled teens and teach them some of what we are good at. We are all art students so we'll be teaching them what we know about design or painting or whatever our particular field is. At the end of the semester we'll hold an event for the public that will show their work and try to get support for them when they graduate. We want them to come away from this feeling better about themselves then perhaps they ever have. We'll hold this event in the Provo Towne Square on April 1, 2011, the same night as the Gallery Stroll, hoping to get a lot of business from that. What I would like you or someone at KUTV to
do for these kids is to cover this event, or at least announce it on the news a few times so that it gets wide media coverage. I know it's asking a lot, but I'm not asking it for myself. These are kids that have basically been in one foster home after another, who have been in trouble with the law, and some of whom have no one to love them and make them feel they are worth their weight in gold the way my parents made me feel deserve it. These kids need all the help we can give them, so I'm asking a lot, because they need a lot.
Thank you for your consideration, Mark.
Sherry Murdock
Sweet! Way to get on this!!!
