Recycle Your Cycle Windup on Rotary Day of Service

Posted by Pat Cathcart

The “Recycle Your Cycle” project wound up this past Sunday with our Rotary Day of Service. All partners gathered at The Salvation Army lot to help distribute ride ready cycles and new helmets for each rider. Sportwheels staff were on hand to position each cycle to its rider and adjust helmets for a good fit. Our Rotarians, Junk-Works personnel and The Salvation Army were all there to help distribute the cycles. Festivities included a get together, a barbeque, lots of goodies, special cakes, and an area to test ride the cycles. A community “Giving Forward Together”.

Thank you to our partners, Sportswheels, The Salvation Army, Junk-Works and everyone who supported, sponsored, and made it possible to put smiles on the faces of so many children, youths and adults as they received their cycle and helmet. Truly an amazing project.
