Present: Grace Johnston, Paul Hammer, Tom Harned and Melinda Tuhus

Bike to Work Day

Next BTW Day is Friday, June 13, 7:30-9:30 a.m. in front of City Hall. We will contact
all the city's major employers to let them know. We could use help with leafleting and 
bringing any food items (coffee provided by Koffee on Orange). See flyer on the ECC
website. Contact Melinda at melinda.tuhus@gmail.com if you can help.

July 19 City Bike Event at East Rock Park

Grace has been attending the planning meetings. She committed ECC to running a bike 
jamboree (or Bike Safety Roadeo), bike decorating, and a bike parade with help from the 
City's Office of Cultural Affairs. Paul will try to get copies of a good bike safety 
brochure for kids that we found. Grace has requested some funds for purchase of 
supplies. (And if we receive funding from the New England Grassroots Environmental 
Fund we'll get it in time to order more helmets, bells, etc.) Please contact her at 
grace.johnston@gmail.com to help with this project.

International Festival

We had a very brief discussion of how to raise our visibility during the festival. We will
 try to have enough ECC brochures to pass out at all the festival bike rides and at the 
kiosks on the Green.
