Energy here at Howlands Landing is off the charts as members of our team are preparing for the ride of our lives. We just said "see you soon" to one of the 18 schools we will be visiting this year. We will be hitting up their school on December 1st only 3 weeks from now. Reconnecting with the students and teachers, continuing education, and raising awareness about sustainable living is what the whole trip is all about. We have two more schools visting before we descend upon San Francisco for the big kick off. The Green Festival in San Francisco is an event we plan on attending for the enrichment of our staff. Green Festivals are our nation's premier sustainability events providing a meeting space for speakers and exhibitors. San Francisco will be November 14, 15, and 16. Check www.greenfestivals.org for dates in Seattle, Denver, and Chicago.
As I sit amongst the hustle and bustle of mapping our route, talking curriculum with schools, and designing T-shirts I am inspired by the volunteer efforts of my fellow comrades and the schools' enthusiasm for hosting us. This year's sustainable living bike tour is shaping up to be a huge success!
Thanks to our generous supporters we have come much closer to reaching our budget goals. All bike trip members would like to extend our gratitude to Brett Hammond, Mindy Leiterman, Gaye Knight Simmons, Rachel Eidelman, Virginia Villa, Jo Pierce, Kathy Halloran, Scott Blair, Bora Aytun, and Kathy Shute for their kind contributions. We wouldn't be able to accomplish this without your support.
