First of all, if you haven't taken a moment to celebrate the opening and huge success that Lucky Seven is ... then do so right now!  Thank you for your contribution!  This really is making a difference!  The kids who are coming in, many of them really need something like this, I can guarantee that this venture is helping to change lives for the better, and our town for the better... (although you may have to be more on your toes now if you are driving!)

   Next matter of business.  If we don't get more volunteers, tools and just plain help, I don't think we will be able to keep going.  Not that we haven't had a lot of help, most of you have been in to help out have seen that the response has been greater than we ever thought!  Tonight alone we had 25 kiddos sign up, and we have a total of 65 kids signed up right now, tonight we had at least 50+ people stop by, and over 20 kids working on bikes... We also had a lot of parents in to help and even the mayor stopped by and worked with the kids!  (by the way.. I think he is going to pull some strings and get us a portopottie!)  BUt we are still up to our eye balls in kids!  So lets pool our resources find more resources, spread the word!  We need cash donations, we need at least two more sets of tools, we are going to need more bikes soon, we need real bike stands and we need volunteers and volunteer bike mechanics!  PHEW!  

   Ok, well, this truly is exciting, and I can not say thank you enough!  We just need to keep up the momentum a while longer until this becomes more sustainable!
