[Bikecoop-announce] Volunteer for Light Giveaway, Sept 30: Light the Night 2010

[Barry Isralewitz]

Hello,

	Light the Night 2010 is coming, next Thursday, Sept. 30!

	Light the Night is a mass free bike light giveaway which aims to make  
nighttime biking safer for everyone.
	We need lots of volunteers to install lights onto bikes....

Light the Night 2010
Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Location 1: Alma Mater (SE corner of Green St. and Wright, Urbana, IL)
Location 2: Corner of Illinois St. and Lincoln Ave. (near Illinois  
Street Residence Hall) Urbana, IL

  You can sign up for a 2-hour shift here:
http://thebikeproject.wikispaces.com/light-the-night-2010

   With 4 hours to install 1000 free bike light sets, we'll need a  
good-sized crew of volunteers.   This will be the third year in a row  
for Light the Night; we've seen big improvements in safe night biking  
around here, but there's still a lot of work to do.

    Volunteering is generally a lot of fun -- the crowds are very  
happy to get free bike lights!   Anyone is welcome to volunteer (you  
need not be a member of The Bike Project or CCB).

   There will be a couple of chances to go to a short training session  
for those who haven't participated before;  we'll mail more info about  
these as the event approaches.
Two chances for volunteer training:
- Mon., Sept. 27, 7:30 pm, at the Downtown Urbana Bike Project, 202 S.  
Broadway, Urbana, IL (enter via south side basement door).
- Thu., Sept. 30, 2010, 3:15 pm--3:45 pm, at Alma Mater (SE corner of  
Green St. and Wright, Urbana, IL)

   We'll be installing, completely free, roughly 1000 sets of the  
Planet Bike Blinky Safety sets, the same kind as we sell at The Bike  
Project -- that makes 2000 blinky lights, counting front and rear.   
Don't forget to tell your friends about the giveaway, but remind them:  
lights are only installed directly onto bikes.
  "If you want free lights, bring your bike."

     Light the Night 2010 is a program of Campus Area Transportation  
Study partners and affiliated groups.

	Hope you can volunteer!
