Join our Ryde-A-Thon and Support PEAC’s Summer
Programs!
Join us for the 2nd Annual Ryde-A-Thon on February
9th, 2013!
We
will start spinning at the RydeOn! studio in Saline (450 E. Michigan Avenue,
Saline, MI) at 1pm and continue until 7pm. Our sessions start every hour with a different
instructor that is sure to bring a different
flavor to your workout!
Riders
commit to one 50 minute session and participate in teams of 4.
Registration
for the event is $25 per person and all proceeds go to helping defer the cost
of PEAC's Saline Summer Program Site.
We encourage participants to spread the
word about our summer program and collect donations to support our upcoming
2013 programming. The team who raises the most money will receive special
recognition and all participants will receive a gift bag from local sponsors.
You can also ask your family, friends and coworkers to sponsor the miles you
have ridden at the Ryde-A-Thon!
To register for the event, please visit bikeprogram.org!
If you have any questions about the event, please email liz@bikeprogram.org
PEAC works with over 1600 Students this
year!
PEAC is proud to announce
that we were able to work with over 1600 individuals this year in all of our
programs, and events. This couldn’t be done without the support of all of those
who donate to our program. With your help we can keep increasing our programs
and work with more students in the coming years!
Active
Transportation Continues in the Snow!
It
might be cold and snowy outside, but that doesn’t mean that programs at PEAC go
into hibernation. Students in our Active
Transportation Program are braving the elements every week to practice using
the city bus. Here is a look at what we
have been up to in the past few weeks:
MACOMB
COUNTY: Seniors at Sterling Heights High
School have taken trips to downtown Birmingham, Troy’s Target, and Somerset
Mall, while their peers at Warren Cousino have been traveling to Oakland Mall. We are about to start planning trips to job
sites—this will mean making transfers!
OAKLAND
COUNTY: Students at Visions Unlimited
have been enjoying the new bus shelter on the corner of 10 mile and Research
Drive while waiting for Route 330, and are starting to brainstorm ways of
making Research Drive safer for all community members. Downtown Farmington and Target are the top
destinations for this group of students!
WAYNE
COUNTY: Meijer, Southgate Mall, Panera
Bread, and Downtown Wyandotte are all places that you might see PEAC students
spending their time this winter.
Students at the Jo Brighton Skills Center and Roosevelt High School are
about to start planning for a trip to the Henry Ford Museum in late March. These travelers will use the internet and
SMART bus schedules to plan all logistics for our trip.
