Ritchie's Motel in Albemarle
Fellows I got a little amazing story to tell you today. I talked with Mirka at the Hope for Warriors this morning. I justed wanted to see how things was coming along. She said Im really having trouble with finding a motel in the area for these warriors. I replied to her that I would see what I can do. So I get the yellow pages out and start looking and called one. They couldnt help me much so I thought let me try another one. So I picked out one of the smallest motels in albemarle and called. Lady said call me back on this other number and she gave me the number. So I called her back and she began explaining to me what she had to offer. She said I will shut this dam motel down just for these guys. I was amazed to hear that! She said we get 40 bucks for our single rooms and 47 bucks for our doubles a night. The hope for warriors asked me to get them a two nights stay since they traveling so far and fishing all day with a return trip that night would be a long day for them. Well I told the owner we was looking for a two nights stay. She was fine with that and told me to do the math for how much it would cost. So I go to figuring and thinking about what we would need in donations to cover this cost. Low and behold the lady said what every it cost....I will cover it for these guys!!!!!! Then she tells how she had been blessed in life and goes on about her son going to Iraq and coming home a different person. She said Im so glad you folks are doing this kind of thing for our warriors. I told her the son was welcome to fish with us in this event. She replied to me "my son will be all over you folks when you get here". I just had to share this story with all of you. Her name was Amy Blackman and she owns the Ritchies Motel in Albemarle. So if you ever in the need for a place to stay close to Badin or Tillery ...give her a call Ph. 704-982-6766 or feel free to send her a letter of thanks for helping out the Hope for Warriors event at Badin.
