Those jolly generous folks at the Portland Police Bureau will be
giving out bike lights again. The BTA will be helping.

The lights need to be assembled before we give them out

Michelle at the BTA is looking for two or three volunteers who could
help the Chair of the Kerns Neighborhood Assn. put the lights together.

Time: Monday and Tuesday November 2nd and 3rd in the evening.

Contact Michelle for more details. michelle@bta4bikes.org
