Volunteer Open House - Good times & Good fun.

Thank you to all the great SVBC members who attended tonight's Volunteer Open House. It was great to see some new faces among the familiar. Normally at our Car Free Happy Hours conversation revolves around rides, routes, and commutes. Tonight we talked about ways to get involved in upcoming community events.

Bike parking is a big part of it. Whether its at Stanford football games, Maker Faire, Tour de Cure, or the Sunset Magazine Celebration Weekend, there are many ways to get involved in your community in addition to meeting fellow cyclists as well.

Bike to Work is always lots of fun but it's a huge undertaking as well; setting up the bag stuffing party, helping organize the energizer stations or chipping in to put on the Bike Away From Work Bash. Ernesto could always use some help, so please check out all the great ways you can volunteer for this year's Bike to Work Day.

And lastly, we could sure use some help at your local city level. With over 2,000 square miles and over 2.5 million residents, the Silicon Valley is a big place. We would like you to keep us updated on what's happening in your part of the valley and report it to other members. If you would like to become an "Area Reporter" and keep us updated on a bi-monthly basis, well that would be just great.

So keep checking back to our site, and as the weather starts to warm up look for additional volunteer opportunities that you can share with your friends and fellow cyclists.

Thanks again everyone.
