HOLIDAY RIDE ON DECEMBER 6th
COME DRESSED IN THE COLORS OF YOUR HOLIDAY
AND WEAR LOTS OF BELLS
A HOLIDAY PARADE OF BIKES
NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF RIDERS
Note: This is a casual ride - not an official One Less Car Event - a cue sheet will be provided but most of the riding will be on city streets.
On December 6th a group will leave David's house on 519 W. 40th Street to take a ride to the Fells Point Christmas Celebration. The departure time is 10:00 AM (giving the sun enough time to wake up) as long as the temperature at 9:00 AM is over 35 degrees and it is dry outside. If you are interested in riding please send an E-Mail to d.schapiro"at"att.net, There is no cost to ride for OLC members or to anyone who purchases a raffle ticket on the morning of the ride (available at the starting location).
ALSO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
OLC plans on selling tickets at the Fells Point Festival - December 6th and December 13th. If you prefer not to ride or know someone that would like to volunteer to sell tickets please send a note to d.schapiro"at"att.net
VOLUNTEERS WHO SELL TICKETS AT THE FESTIVAL ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE $50.00 GIFT CARD FOR EACH 100 TICKETS SOLD.
Now through December 6th everyone that sells 100 raffle tickets will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the local independent business of their choice.
Just get your friends and family to buy tickets. By December 8th send David at dschapiro"at"onelesscar.org a list of those individuals who bought tickets because of you and which store you want your certificate from. David will check the list twice (like in Christmas song) and then send you your certificate if at least 100 tickets are sold.
Prizes will still be awarded to those individuals who sell the most tickets.
Remember the FREE membership with 5 tickets purchased and let's not forget our ultimate goal:

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
With part of the proceeds from this raffle One Less Car will be buying 12 bicycles (or 24 if 5000 tickets are sold!) for Baltimore City children from lower income homes. One Less Car believes that every child should have the joy of riding a bike. It is also our way of promoting healthier living by helping to fight childhood obesity.
Not only will OLC be buying 12 bikes (including all safety equipment) for the children, but their families will receive a gift certificate to a local grocery store to go towards their holiday meal.
Other projects of One Less Car supported by this raffle include:
