Dear friends,

You are invited to join Positive Spin at Morgantown's 2014 Celebration of America on Independence Day, Friday, July 4th.

Parade:  One of the most patriotic ways to celebrate the Fourth of July is through the independence and freedom that riding bikes affords us.  I hope we can generate a large turnout of bicyclists to participate in this parade.

The parade lineup will be at the top of High Street.  Please arrive by 4:45pm to find your spot, parade commences at 5pm.  Parking will be available at Spruce Street and University Avenue Parking Garages.

Judging the Bicycle Decorating Contest:  Attached to this email is the Bicycle Decorating Contest Flyer with applications.  Please distribute widely.   We need a few judges!  The contest will be situated by the Spruce Street Parking Garage.   Arrive by 3:45pm because judging begins at 4:15pm and lasts only 30 minutes.  There will be two age groups: 7 and under, 8-12.  Positive Spin needs to pick out three winners from each age group, and we will be providing awards (bicycles and accessories) that the winners can pick out at the Spin at a later date!

Podium Invitation:  After the parade, at approximately 7pm, we will be announcing the winners of the decorating contest.  Please join me if you helped judge the contest.  Also, I want to invite board members (past and current), 2013 transition team members, volunteers, and supporters to join me for a special surprise at the podium (no speaking necessary, just happy faces)!  Please email me back if you can participate.

Even more!  This shall be a long holiday weekend for Positive Spin.  You can keep on celebrating with a CRC/Positive Spin ride and potluck on Sunday, June 6 at 1pm at the Spin.  More information will be sent separately.
