Today there was not an in-person meeting. These notes are just to keep you up to date.
CELEBRATIONS:
The member celebrations for JULY are listed below.
RIBBON-CUTTING – NEW BIKE STATIONS:
What a cool thing we did with our Allentown West Rotary Club and Rotary District 7430! Bring your bikes to Grange Park to repair, fill tires, adjust handlebars, etc!
We worked with Upper Macungie and North Whitehall townships to install these full service repair stations at Grange Park and the Ironton Trailhead on Levans Road.
A special thanks goes to John L. Scott and Diana Dunn for spearheading this great project!! And thank you to Chad from South Mountain Cycle who did a great demo today at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
We also installed two smaller repair stations along the Trexler Preserve bike trails. Enjoy!
