I thought this was interesting?? If you attend 3 at $10 each you get a free bike ($30). COuld be a good deal if you need a bike?!?

_________________________________________________________________________

There will be several workshops happening at the REC and CEDAR, environmental centers opened by UW-Parkside and the City of Kenosha and Racine . These workshops are $10 each and if you go to three of them at either center, you will receive a free used bike. If you can please call ahead (262-595-2651 Caitlin) so we know how many people will be attending, it would be appreciated. Otherwise just show-up, they all will be a good time!
