Tom McKenzie donates $20,000 worth of Vintage Motorcycles to the help the children of Haiti.

New Orleans, La - Tom McKenzie a member of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group has recently donated four classic motorcycles to the Bernard Vehicle Foundation to be put up for auction with all proceeds going to assist the Children of Haiti.

The motorcycles are value at approximately $20,000 and were put forward as a challenge to other cyclists in support of the People in Haiti. This generous donation was design to benefit the children charities of Haiti.

With media attention now completely removed from Haiti Tom McKenzie selected a time such as now in order to make this announcement. "The children of Haiti still need our help and this donation is only part of a series of donation we plan to make as we continue our support for the People of Haiti."

Over the last 10 years Tom McKenzie, along with many within Canadian Business Community worked diligently to support organizations like the Make a Wish Foundation, and other Children's Charities. The group also targets for support non-profit organizations that specialize in helping needy individuals who are not registered with public assistance groups. The foundation that he heads has absolutely no administration fees applied against any money collected or given, and whenever possible the donations that are made are kept anonymous.

With anonymous donations and no administration fees, Tom McKenzie Charities are able to keep the main focus on providing needed support to those in need. All of the business community working with Mr. McKenzie has come to understand the value of anonymous giving, and many business owners have fully embraced the concept.

With Tom McKenzie interest in vintage motorcycles particularly Sidecars he has devised a creative way to entertain children with special needs. Tom McKenzie's vintage sidecar motorcycles allow children with special needs to participate in formal events as well as ride in parades.

"This has been a mutually beneficial experience for both the kids as well as the riders in our club. The sidecars are a great way to get these kids involved in life, rather than always on the sideline watching. "

Tom McKenzie went on to say that as a result of the Sidecars we have participated in a few military events as well as government presentations. More recently the group's sidecars were featured in the Governor General formal Veterans' Day presentation

Tom McKenzie says that he would like to inspire other motor cycle groups to get more involved in their communities especially in the area of supporting children with special needs. If your organization would like to except the Tom McKenzie Charity Challenge then please send you replies to imagemaximus@gmail.com

WWII swing dance photos?

I've searched the Internet High and Low, sideways and front ways for old vintage World War II photos of guys and girls doing the swing dance and/or jitterbug (preferably I am looking for Pics of the army/marines/navy/etc. guys dancing with girls) but I have only found one photo and the quality is terrible.

Does anyone here know where I can find pictures of what I am looking for? If so, I would be eternally grateful! I'm a WWII fanatic, so to add these pictures to my collection would fill me with a sense of satisfaction and completion. lol.

Blessings,

I also recommend is that you get some still photos or video clips from swing/war movies from the 1940's. These featured professional swing dancers dressed in uniform.
