[RP TownTalk] Bike Raffle addendum [was Re: Old-fashioned 4th of July celebration right here in Town Center - BIKE RAFFLE! ANTIQUE CARS!! LIVE MUSIC!!!

[Dwight Holmes]

I want to point out that the bike -- along with not one but two bike
helmets, and a good quality bike lock -- were donated by the
Renaissance Bikes, itself a great program for youth which is under the
auspices of the Engaged University
(http://www.engagedu.umd.edu/programs/bicycle).  So, a shout out to
them for their very generous donation, and appeal to everyone to take
advantage of this opportunity to win a great prize, and contribute to
the furtherance of the arts in our town.

(The drawing will take place on the 4th, but you need not be present to win)

We'll have a photo of the bike (along with more details) on the Wiki
in the very near future; you'll see it's well worth the wager of a few
bucks for raffle tickets -- this is a *very* nice prize.  Tickets will
be on sale on Thursday at the Farmers Market and of course on Saturday
at the 4th of July Celebration.  If you're unable to attend and would
like to buy some raffle tickets, pls contact Melissa Avery at
301-357-2678.
