Hi Gainesville and surrounding community,

May is National Bike Month.  We have 2 Gainesville area events to start out the month in Newberry, Florida...

1.)  Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - Newberry Elementary Education Fair
Students will receive bicycle helmets, have them fitted, all while learning how to properly wear them and how they actually work to protect heads.

 2.)  Wednesday, May 8, 2013 - National Bike to School Day at Newberry Elementary
Students will be able to participate in an on-bicycle safety course "Bike Rodeo", learning how to safety ride bicycles in the community.

Looking for volunteers to help out with both events...We will need to provide the schools names in advance for school safety/security procedures, please contact me at the information below if you are interested in assisting so we can have volunteers processed A.S.A.P. for the event(s).

Thank you for your consideration and stay tuned for a list of Bike Month activities you can participate in!
