SNS Opens in T-6 days!

Just a quick post to say we've raised over $15,500!

Keep up the good work, we're over half way to our goal!!!

Now, it's time to stop looking back at the starting line and start looking ahead...

The Screens 'N' Spokes 2008 Art Show is opening in less than a week! We'd love to see you at one of the openings in Philly and Ardmore!

Please email screensnspokes@gmail.com with any questions and please bring all your friends and family to the show!

In other news, two weekends ago, a bunch of SNSers went out to Lancaster County for a ride through the Amish cornfields...we all made it to the finish line (OK, so what if I was overtaken by a horse-and-buggy and was the LAST RIDER ON THE ROAD - I rode 63 very hilly miles and it felt GREAT!) Pictures to come...

This weekend, Mara, Matthew and I plan to ride from Park Slope to Coney Island...and Ellen, Sam and I may do a "Donut Derby" fun ride in the Lehigh Valley on Labor Day Monday (time deductions for every donut eaten)...we'll be sure to post pictures as they are available!

Screens 'N' Spokes Bike Team Update

We decided to keep you posted about our bike team progress through a series of emails written by our Philadelphia Site Coordinator, Bradley Harris. Please check out all the details (it's not too late to join us at the ride!) at the Screens 'N' Spokes official team page.

As of July 18, our ranks have swelled to twenty five riders, and our fundraising goal sits at $30,000. It seems like a pretty ambitious number, but in 2007, we raised over $31,000. Although of course we aim to beat that figure, we'll settle for matching it. So far as a team we are at 11% of the total.

Jess is leading the pack at $1,340, 27% of her $5,000 personal goal!

With the bike ride just over two months away, now is the time for each rider to go full throttle in their fundraising efforts. We are going to need everyone to pull together in order to reach our goal.

We'll keep you posted...in the meantime, check out the posters as they arrive, and save the date for SNS Opening night - Thursday, Sept. 4 at Mugshots and Friday, Sept. 12 at Chapterhouse and hopefully a Screens 'N' Spokes/MilkBoy party on Friday, Sept. 5!
