   A couple of weekends ago, The Choice Group's very own Chris Lavach played in the Summer Moon Music Festival that took place over the span of 2 days.  Taking place at the Center of the Universe Brewery in Ashland, there were 13 local bands that played, each one collecting money for their own charity.  Chris’s band, Buckville Hootenanny partnered up with REACHcycles, started by veteran James Howard.  It’s an organization that provides adapted cycles for children with disabilities and disabled veterans.      This coming weekend, there will be another event where James from REACH cycles will award 12 customized cycles to children and veterans.  The event will be held at Robious Landing on Sunday, August 2nd.   Be sure to check out ReachCycles.org for more information to come!
