Cool Bike, Why is it in the Window at Cayuga?
I am glad you noticed it! The cute red folder in the front window
of Cayuga street is the grand prize of a fund-raising raffle for Team
Gimme, now in our sixth year of biking the AIDS Ride For Life. All the proceeds will benefit the Southern Tier AIDS Program, which is the primary provider of HIV/AIDS services in the region. A big hand goes out to Phoebe Aceto
for the generous donation of the bike to the cause. I gave it a
complete rebuild from the frame up over the winter.
Raffle tickets can only be purchased at Cayuga Street Gimme. Tell everyone you know to buy a handful! But, you don't have to participate in the raffle to make a donation. Please visit Team Gimme at www.firstgiving.com to make a donation online.
The Ride for Life is a big event in this area, with many participants campaigning for donations. If no one has lobbied you yet, please consider making a donation to Team Gimme. All of us -- and all the folks served by the Southern Tier AIDS Program -- thank you!

All that bike needs is two bottle holders, one for water and a second one for hot/cold coffee!

Congratulations on your accomplishment Team Gimme!
I heard your son helped you completely make over this bike. What a wonderful project for the two of you and a great cause.
