Such is life in a college town, we guess, but that doesn't mean they won't all be sorely missed. Thanks very much to them for their hard work, and we wish them the best of luck in their new endeavors:<br>
</div><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li><b>Tony Cherolis:</b> Tony was a steering committee member and an integral part of everything that TBP accomplished in the last several years. He's relocating back to Connecticut for his job.</li>
<li><b>Emma Barnes:</b> Emma was our AmeriCorps volunteer for the past year, and she was very helpful in getting Womens and Trans Night, Learn-A-Bike, and Earn-A-Bike off the ground. She's in Oregon starting grad school.</li>
<li><b>Kelly Innes: </b>Kelly started the <a href="http://thebikeproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bike Project's blog</a> and was a key volunteer in the first few months of the Campus Bike Project. Kelly's in Pittsburgh. <br>
