Giving Tree event Success
Late post on this:
This past weekend we went out to the Giving Tree home facilities and partnering with the United Way we were able to fix 10 bicycles for the youth of the homes. These homes are for families that are finding there way in town and need some help. They are not homeless, as they now have a home, but they are receiving help to get back and going again. Pretty sweet program and help offered. I am glad we have something like this in town. So when Hunter heard that they needed help with their bicycle fleet for the kids he did not hesitate to get us involved.
So that's what we did. Last Saturday we went to the Giving Tree homes and fixed 10 bicycles, handed out a ton of safety info, and left with big smiles. We have always had an outreach component to this team, and this was the first time we used our skill in such a way. I had fun working with you all, so THANKS!!!
Thanks to all the riders and Parents who came out to help and lend a hand. Grupo is a big word and I am happy to know that we are making it even bigger.

It's the least we could do! :)

Definately successful.
The most important part may have been introducing them to the Bicus CO-OP org. You know, that whole fishing parable...
