Here is some additional info on how you (parents, riders, friends, etc) can help with the Headless Hunt bicycle scavenger hunt coming up on Oct. 30th. As we have said before, this is our one big community fundraiser of the year, so we need all your help to make it a successful one.
Here are possible ways to help:
1. Don't just hand fliers out, but truly get people to come. The more people that participate, the more money we make, the more fun.
2. Bake some goods! We will have a bake sale next Saturday, Oct. 23rd at Main Gate for the end of the "Shootout ride", which will probably be set up at 8:30am to 10am (more details on this later). We will also have a bake sale at the start of the scavenger hunt to fuel up riders. Plan on baking something or helping to "staff" these bake sales.
3. We want to have a bike decoration station at the start of the scavenger hunt, just for fun. We may have prizes for folks with the best decorated bike at the end. So I need a parent/rider or several to take on soliciting some donations of fur, sparkles, fake flowers, etc etc from around town businesses (or purchasing them if that is a possibility). A good friend of El Grupo, Janet Miller, organized bike decorating during Cyclovia and it was a true hit. She is on board for this, but needs us to take the lead. Anyone interested? We will also need folks that morning of the event to help folks decorate their bikes as we register folks.
4. Registration. This always takes a little time, which is why we will have baked goods and decorations to entertain in the meantime, but we would like to make this as smooth as possible. I need a couple parents or board members who are willing to think through the best process with me and help get people registered (i.e. record names & contact info, get money, etc)
5. We will be making new tshirts for this event and selling them at the event. We will need help that morning (probably one person) with selling the shirts. Unfortunately, time is a bit scrunched for our printer, Dwight, and it is the same cost either way, so we will not be printing the shirts ourselves this time. (sorry Kathleen!)
6.One sweet raffle: Chad, one of our lovely board members, has put together at least 10 awesome raffle prizes and will be selling tickets the day of the event for them. We will want help from folks in selling these and letting people know how cool the prizes are (i.e. bike from REI, a painting, one-hour massage, free yoga passes, etc etc)
7. Get people to come! That means you, too!
Please let me know what questions you have and where you can help. Thanks so much!

I will help with what you need to the day of the event.
I want to help!
I will be very happy Baking and Baking and showing up on both Saturdays.
Also I was thinking that if somebody else is good at soliciting donations and would like to do that over the telephone I could find time to go and collect them for you if you would like.
oh and yeah I am Sam's mom, Jenn.I know i have a weird name for my gmail
I can do the bake sale at the event, and whatever else that day. I'll bring prickly pear lemonade to sell.
I've called several stores to solicit bike decorations, but no takers. Party City said they'd give us 20% off. Will keep trying.
