With 3 hours to install over 250 free bike light sets, we'll need a good-sized crew of volunteers. This is the first time we've had an all-off-campus mass light install in Champaign-Urbana; we'll be at scenic Douglass Park in North Champaign. Big thanks to a generous donation from Prairie Cycle Club for making the event possible.</div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><span class=""> You can sign up for a 1.5-hour or 3-hour shift here:</span></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><font face="SourceSansPro-Regular" class=""><a href="http://thebikeproject.wikispaces.com/light-your-bike-2017" class="">http://thebikeproject.wikispaces.com/light-your-bike-2017</a></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><font face="SourceSansPro-Regular" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><span class=""> Volunteering is generally a lot of fun -- people are very happy to get free bike lights! </span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular;"><span class=""><strong class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box;">Light Your Bike</strong><br class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box;">Free Bike Light Giveaway in Champaign</strong><br class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box;">Sunday, Apr. 2, 2017 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m (volunteering from 1:45 to 5:00 pm)</strong><br class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><ul class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; font-size: 13px;"><li class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Location: corner of Fifth St. and Tremont St. (along the west edge of Douglass Park), Champaign, IL</li></ul><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><img apple-inline="yes" id="5DB09371-BE04-4F24-BDCA-EFE4D4AFC2A0" class="" src="cid:4B7B20A2-3FCA-45C8-9F04-43B0B7AE0E19@ks.uiuc.edu"></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Early-shift volunteers: please note the 1:45 pm start time (i.e.not 2 pm); getting volunteers organized early will help us get a jump on long lines.</span><br class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="">Optional </span><b class="">training sessions:</b><span class=""> </span><br class=""><span class="">---- There will be two chances to go to a short training session for those who haven't participated before, those who want a refresher, or those who want to practice with this year's models of reflectors and lights:</span></div><div class=""><span class=""><span class="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">- Mon., March 27, 2017, 6:00 pm--6:45 pm, at the Downtown Urbana Bike Project, 202 S.
