*DEPARTURES*
We've had several dedicated Bike Project volunteers move away recently. 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:

   - *Tony Cherolis:* 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.
   - *Emma Barnes:* 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.
   - *Kelly Innes: *Kelly started the Bike Project's
blog<http://thebikeproject.blogspot.com/>and was a key volunteer in
the first few months of the Campus Bike Project.
   Kelly's in Pittsburgh.
