> Hello,
>
> My name is Michelle and I am the volunteer coordinator at Chehalem
> Elementary in the Beaverton School District. We are having a Bike
> Safety Fair on April 25th. In the fall, REI kindly came out and did
> bike repairs for the kids. The two volunteers were VERY
> overwhelmed. We have a poor to middle class demographic and some of
> the bikes really needed some love.
>
> This Fair it is our school, plus Fir Grove and Kinnaman E.S.--which
> have the same demographics we do. I was hoping your club might have
> some members who would be willing to come out and donate a few hours
> to help some needy kids and their bikes. The Fair runs from 10a to
> 1p on April 25th.
>
> My family has attended several races at the Velodrome--the kids even
> got to race in the Kiddie Kilo! If this date does not work, please
> let me know if your group would be interested in future Fairs. We
> have a hilly campus, if a mini-cyclocross event could be staged,
> that would be fun for the kids also to watch. They get to
> participate in a bike rodeo and the NW Bike Safety Council hands out
> and fits new helmets.
>
> Thank you for your attention.
