Optimist Club Bike Safety event....

GV's Optimist Club Bike Safety

Picture's sent for posting by Carol Barnes

Bike Safety was held on June 6th at Sni-A-Bar Elementary. We had 18-20 children participate. We gave away a lot of helmets this year so we are running low. Everyone will be on the lookout for sales on ‘child’ and ‘youth’ helmets to replenish our stock. This is a surprise since we haven’t given away hardly any helmets in the last few years, so if you happen to see any on sale, please pick up a few and give to any member of the club for storage. Thanks to those who helped out with another year of safety for the kids. Great work.
