December 10 – Sandy and John Larson contributed five warm winter hats for students in the Monterey County Youth Center bike class. When weather is too cold, class can be held in the vocational ed room at the facility. But on brisk winter days when there’s no wind, and sunshine beckons, youth like working on their bikes in the usual space outdoors. It’s important to the Youth Center, and to their “room mother” for bike class (Mari Lynch), that they only work outdoors if appropriately dressed. Thanks to Sandy and John for making that more appealing to teens by gifting these rad hats!

February 21 – Dark Timbers is a standout–including their black lanyards, so perfect for name tags for Monterey County Youth Center bike class. The boys love those great quality and cool looking lanyards, and we love Dark Timbers for providing them. They must’ve known we felt apologetic, asking students to put on our funky homemade name tags. It’s sometimes surprising what gets teenagers to smile, and we’ve found the Dark Timbers lanyards do. They generously provided not just a few but a package of 85, taking bike class well into the future! We’re all  set!

February 21 – Dark Timbers also surprised us with 9 orange and 14 black hats for Monterey County Youth Center bike class.
