Thanks to Raoul, Mary, Nick, and the rest of you at Working Bikes for the 15 bikes for Emmet School. Emmet will be sending formal acknowledgement and FORES (Friends of Robert Emmet School) can also if you wish. Here are a few photos of today's festivities for whatever use they may be.
Delivery of the bikes rescheduled to 8/23 from 7/12 ...
The annual giveaway in conjunction with local shelters. 70 bikes required.
Free locks & helmets will be provided by others.
Agreed!
FINAL WORD: the container never did arrive and we are now trying to find another shipping company?
