May Is Bike Month!
Calling all bicycles and their riders!! It's not too late to sign up for May Is Bike Month, a month-long effort to encourage each other to ride our bikes more often and drive less.

3. Warm fuzzy blankets needed!
United Methodist Women have a request from Valerie Zeller, "their" Yolo County social worker, and are hoping you can help. The request is for 5-10 twin size, warm, fuzzy blankets for the kids who are removed from their parents after hours. These kids have to spend the night at the Valerie's office until foster homes are found for them.
"If you are able to provide some comfort and warmth with a new or gently used blanket, it would be a greatly appreciated gesture. The kids will then take their new blankets with them and hopefully get some sense of comfort during their so often confusing and traumatic situation." -- Valerie
Please call or email Louanne Horsfield, 530-759-9202 and brainh@aol.com if you have or obtain a blanket and I will come pick it up.
