Christmas Give-Away

Yesterday I had another great volunteer opportunity to take photos at a Christmas give-away event. My dad and his cycling buddies ("Team Roadkill" or "Roadkill Club" is what they call themselves) put out the word over the last week for people to donate new or used bikes. The club then cleaned and repaired over 100 bikes to give away to kids and adults who were in need of a gift this Christmas. On Sunday, the bikes were on display at Otten Bros. Nursery in Long Lake and the event started. Despite the bitter cold, people came out to get bikes for kids, teens, adults and even a grandma! It was really fun to be part of an event that was helping people feel special at Christmas time.
