Hello List-<br><br>Here are two more things about Bikes Not Bombs' Green Roots Festival AND the 21st Annual Bike-A-Thon... For more info check out <a href="http://www.bikesnotbombs.org">www.bikesnotbombs.org</a>!<br><br>
1) We still need volunteers for festival, so if you're up for a few hours of work at an amazing event (<a href="http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/greenrootsschedule">www.bikesnotbombs.org/greenrootsschedule</a>) to support BNB. The bulk of help we need is from 2- 6. If you put in 2+ hours, we'll feed and water you. Please give us a call at 617-522-0222 asap so we can plug you into some roles. Thanks!<br>
<br>2) We just got news that a good friend of BNB will be matching any money raised by youth riders! So go ahead get your sponsor on with the knowledge that it
will be doubled as Stan Chen, our good friend, will match it!<br>
<br>How to, from Matt:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
You now have the opportunity to sponsor a young person riding the
25-mile or 15-mile route, and raising over $100 each in sponsorships!
Translation: you are supporting a young person riding a bicycle farther
than they ever have before and raising money for an organization they
directly benefit from and serve! Whoa, how cool is that! I'll answer
for ya... pretty durn cool. So go ahead, sponsor a young person...
it'll make their day...<br>
