From the President
Next
Club Meeting September
At PUD, 2320 California, Everett.
From
the President
B.I.K.E.S. Meeting
Save Thursday, Sept. 14 for the next B.I.K.E.S. Club meeting at
the PUD in Everett.
National Night Out
Stop by the B.I.K.E.S. Club table at the county-wide National
Night Out Against Crime Celebration at McCollum Park in Mill
Creek on Aug. 1 from 5-8 p.m. The free family event is designed
to build community and have fun. There may be an event in your
home town, too. Don't forget to ride your bike there!
B.I.K.E.S. Picnic
Thank you to Jack McClincy and Janell Reich for hosting the
B.I.K.E.S. Club picnic again this year in their beautiful
Stillaguamish River setting, and to Dan Scott (the
inspiration) and Bill Weber (the perspiration) for ensuring that
a vote on the club name was had at the event.
There really wasn't a quorum, so a holiday party election is
likely to come, but the preference was Snohomish County
B.I.K.E.S. Club. Also thanks to our food shoppers for the day
Mike Dahlstrom and Patti Garrett.
Long-time BIKES Club members Gary and Joanne Sauter write: "We
are moving back to Montana next week and will have a new address
and phone number. Our new house is just off of Hwy 2 so if any
BIKE's members are traveling that way, either on a bike or other
transportation, give us a call. We will have lots of room for
visitors to stay."
Their new address is 582 Stoneridge Drive, Kalispell, MT
59901; phone 406-755-1795.
RAPSody Volunteers
We're still looking for a few more folks to help out at the
Allyn Waterfront Park from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 26. The park is a few miles south of Belfair on
the Kitsap Peninsula. Volunteers can stay free overnight at the
Shelton High School (camp inside or out). Plus you earn a
RAPSody t-shirt and help support the Bicycle Alliance of
Washington.
Call Kristin at 360-658-2462 to volunteer.

year - hope great fun was had by all. Next up are the RSVP, and
of course the Ride Around Puget Sound (RAPSody). Now that you've
trained so hard, why not put in a few more miles in support of
the Bicycle Alliance of Washington? Visit
www.rapsodybikeride.com or call Kristin for a personal sales job
on this hilly, friendly, fabulous ride.
Bicycle Alliance Auction
B.I.K.E.S. Club president Kristin Kinnamon, a Bicycle Alliance
board member, is hosting a table at the BAW auction on Nov. 4.
B.I.K.E.S. members are welcome to enjoy dinner, free drinks
(alcoholic and non) and a fun atmosphere at the Seattle Center
Exhibition Hall that night.
There are silent auctions of bike and non-bike items (like
romantic getaways, hand made items, catered meals, family
outings) plus the big live auction where some of us sit on our
hands and others compete for more great stuff. Cost is $60 per
person - reserve your space now by calling 360-658-2462.
