2010 Recovery Party!

Our annual Recovery Party is on the calendar for Saturday, January 16, 2010 from 7:00 P.M. till 10:00 P.M. at the home of John and Teri Olbrot . The same locale as last year's party, we are conveniently located in the Rudgate area of Texas Township, near the corners of 12th Street and Centre. Take U.S. 131 to the Centre Street exit, turn right, then right again on 12th Street. Follow with a left on Stony Brook and another left into the cul-de-sac of Burning Tree Street.

Our Address Is: 5146 Burning Tree. Need further directions? Call us at 327-5127.

As far as I know, parking worked out fine last year - just a reminder to be respectful of driveways, etc.

• There will be delicious selection of hot SOUPS and SANDWICH fixings, with a nod to both vegetarians and omnivores.
• Bell's Beer will be on tap, as well as wine and soft drinks.
• Throwing caution to the wind, we are offering no guidelines regarding what kind of dish you bring to pass!
• Bring a:
• Side dish
• Salad
• Dessert as the spirit moves you!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone and having a great time! Janet DeZwaan and Teri Olbrot

Kalamazoo Bicycle Club Summit

13 KBC members attended the Bike Summit meeting on Saturday, March 21, 2009, held in the basement of the ReMax Kalamazoo office on South Park Street in Kalamazoo.
Celine Keizer moderated the meeting, during which two topics were addressed:
  1. The possibility of establishing a more formal fund-granting protocol to ensure KBC's monies are well spent in supporting local bicycling activities.
  2. Long range planning for the club's future - what it is doing now, and looking into what it can do to encourage the sport henceforth.

Look for a more complete report on this meeting in an upcoming PedalPress.

Thanks especially go to Jim Kindle, of ReMax of Kalamazoo for providing the venue, and to Celine Keizer for guiding the attendees through the discussions.
