Subject: [VilasNA] Re: Bikes needed
Dear Neighbors,
Does anyone have an adult bike in good working order that they are
willing to donate to some Bhutanese refugees in our community so that
they can have transportation to their gardens, shopping, and work?
I was introduced to a group of 6 wonderful men this summer who needed
community service hours so that they could earn a bike from Wheels for
Winners. I agreed to transport and supervise their work at Vilas Beach
removing weeds at access points of the lake and cleaning up the park.
After many weeks of hard work they earned their 15 hours of community
service making them eligible for a free bike. However, when we went to
pick out the much sought out bikes we found that Wheels for Winners,
an organization that has been in operation for 20 years, is in dire
need of volunteers and had no adult bikes in good condition available.
This was very disappointing for these young men. I thought I would
reach out to our neighbors hoping to find some bikes that might not be
needed. If you have a bike in good working order and are willing to
donate it please contact me at 695-7851 (cell) 238- 7177 (home) or
send me a note by email. I will make arrangement to pick it up and
pass it on to our friends who have helped out our neighborhood. I will
also be glad to put you in contact with the recipient of the bike, if
you would like.
Thank you very much,
Debi Leeper
