Our Community Service Project
Our Bikes 4 Kids community service project is getting free helmets compliments of the Fayette County Cultural Trust McGruff Program. Officer McGruff will be giving a free helmet to each kid that receives a bike. Our first giveaway was last year in June when we gave away 25 bikes. This year we will have more than 25.
I've scheduled two bike repair days..Saturday, April 23rd and the 30th from 11:00 am-3:00 pm at the old firehall on Arch street..2-3 blocks off of Crawford Ave. in Connellsville and almost across the street from the post office. The firehall is not cleaned, just used for storage so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers . Bring something to drink and any tools you may have.
I will also need help for May 21st, giveaway day..it will busy and I'd like to be as organized as possible as there are release forms for each family to sign before they are allowed to take a bike. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT..EVEN IF JUST FOR AN HOUR. There will be photographers and reporters there.
