Bike Repair Experts Needed!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Hey bike fixers!
St. Nicholas School is doing their annual bike repair event. They could use a couple more experienced volunteers, with bike stands and tools.

Date: Sunday, Nov 4th
Time: 9am - noon (approx)
Bike Count: about 35 this year
Location: Clergy Residence of St. Nicholas Church, St. Nicholas School in Los Altos Hills
12816 El Monte Rd
Los Altos Hills, CA 94022

The Clergy residence is located at the back of the property. As you drive up the hill into the large parking lot, go back to the left (northeast) past the edge of the gym, along an single lane road. It should be marked with a sign that says “Clergy Residence or something like that. We’ll be in front of the garage as the road ends.

Stanford Football

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Our great volunteers parked a record of 1,112 bikes at October 13th’s Stanford football game, the most ever! This season there are only three more games left of the eight Stanford football home games, so please volunteer to help with bike parking at as many games as you can, and enlist friends, coworkers and family members to do likewise.

We have four bike parking corrals around the Stadium, each staffed by two volunteers. The volunteers at each corral get one free Stadium pass to share, and each volunteer gets a free deli sandwich and cold drink.

Three games left! It’s especially hard to find volunteers willing to staff the evening games, so our greatest need right now is for the November games. Won’t you please help out?

Here’s the schedule:

  • November 3, WA, 12:30 pm
  • November 24, Notre Dame, 12:30 pm
  • December 1, CAL, 4 pm

Volunteers are to be at Stanford Stadium one hour and 15 minutes prior to game time.

Please contact Ellen Fletcher at [email protected] or 650/494-8943.
