Seattle packs 100th container of bikes to Ghana this Saturday

(The above slideshow is from a previous Seattle VBP containter-loading party.)


I got all the details on this from my pals at the Village Bicycle Project. Alas, I'll be working in Issaquah this Saturday, but if you've got some time this weekend, you can put it to great use and have a fun time doing it by helping Meg and the others at VBP. Details below.

=================

The Village Bicycle Project will be loading a container of bikes for Ghana, Saturday April 24, in Georgetown, at Total Reclaim (1915 South Corgiat Drive), starting at 9 AM.

As always, there will be good wholesome hard work, and lots of fun. Packing them tight and closing the big double doors is always cause for celebration! Munchies will be provided.

Bring a water bottle, closed toe shoes and bike tools if you have them.
