We were pleased to have Chris Tate join us to discuss Bicycles for Humanity, which is an exciting international project that our club along with other area Rotary clubs will partner with over the next two years. The organization collects bicycles and ships them to community-based organizations in developing countries. The bicycles are loaded and delivered in 40ft. containers, which remain and are run as community bicycle workshops. There will be many ways Rotarians can volunteer and assist with this project in the coming year. If you are interested in becoming involved, please reach out to Karen Clark or Sandy Morckel.
