This Saturday, July 29th from 8am until noon the A.R.T. will be having its first summer bike drive at Rosemary Court. We are asking people of the community to donate bikes that are not being used so that the A.R.T. can fix them up and get them to people who need them. The more people biking, the stronger our community. Attached is a flyer with more information.

Hope to see you there,

Andrew Noune, President
Alliance for Responsible Transportation

Everyone is invited. The fun starts a 5 PM and will end around 9:30 PM.

Activities will be centered near the Recreation Hall Come out and have a good time.

Groundbreaking at 5pm, followed by:

1. Two bands, both with members from Alta Vista, with professional sound man & equipment.
2. Three clowns, with balloons etc.
3. Free hot dogs, ice cream and popcorn
4. Free frisbees to toss in the park
5. A skateboard "demonstration" at the skateboard park; the top talent are invited to practice, so it's not exactly a demo, but good tricks nonetheless.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Original Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association has received grants from the City and County for $5000 and installed four chess/checker tables in the pavilion in the park. These tables are available for anyone to use. We encourage young and old to bring some game pieces and enjoy the beautiful park.
We are planning an event on September 9. The chess club of the Senior Friendship Center has RSVP'd with 12 members. We are hoping to get a local school's chess club to play the seniors for a little challenge. We will be featuring music, food and drinks. More info available at OGPNA.com.
