LAST WEEK: Kent Husa from I Can Bike! (This meeting was not recorded.)
We all enjoyed Kent's presentation of the international program, I Can Bike, and his local version, Cycle Movement, teaching special needs individuals (8 to 80+ years) how to ride an adapted bicycle. After a week at camp, 80-90% able to ride independently at least 75 feet. Besides a local location to run his camp he needs volunteers and donations. From our Foundation, Debby Doig presented him with a $5000 check. For more information, www.icanbike.org, https://cyclemovement.bike,
