Bike Swap, Saturday, June 14

Andrea Masters invites all to The Bike Swap!!

Andrea sends us this announcement:

Recycle your old bikes, parts and outdoor gear!

The Mt. Washington Valley Velo Club, the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA) White Mountains chapter and the North Conway Public Library are co-sponsoring a Community Bike and Gear Swap. Proceeds will go toward supporting youth cycling in the Mount Washington Valley .

The event will be held at the Moat Mountain Smoke House on route 16 in North Conway on Saturday, June 14, 2008 (rain date of June 15th) from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm.
There are a number of ways to participate:

BUY STUFF! Come browse the inventory of outdoor gear. A huge selection of bicycles, bicycle accessories, and other outdoor gear will be available.

SELL STUFF!! Rent a table for $10, clean out your garage, and sell your things yourself. You can certainly share a table with somebody to cut down on costs.

DONATE STUFF TO SELL!! Don’t have a lot of stuff or don’t have the time to work your own table all morning? Or you just want to donate to a good cause. The clubs will accept bikes (in good shape, please) to sell or refurbish for those in need. The clubs will also accept bike equipment, accessories and other athletic gear (kayaks, skis, weights, etc.). Tax forms to make these donations tax-deductible will be available.

How does this SWAP benefit you and the Valley?
Proceeds from the table rental will support the North Conway Public Library.
Proceeds from the donations of bicycles and gear will go to support the local youth cycling programs and cycling activities in the valley.

REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE.
How can you help?
Rent a table, clean out your garage/basement/attic and sell stuff!
Come buy stuff you always thought you needed.

Volunteer to help on Swap day. We will need folks to help set up tables, help with inspecting and receiving donations, “manning” the donations sale table, and generally keeping things neat and orderly.

FMI or to rent a table, please contact Cathy Steers at 986-7132 or cathysteers@gmail.com.

Our thanks to the Moat Mountain Smoke House and Brewing Co. and Wrobleski Party Rentals for their help in putting on the first-ever Valley Bicycle and Gear Swap.
